Small Business Saturday Christmas Shopping Guide

Happy Small Business Saturday to you and yours!

Did you wake up at 3am on Friday to hit the mall? Me neither.

If you're like me, you like to avoid the long lines and buy BIG by supporting small businesses.

Small businesses are the cornerstone of this country; my parents are small business owners, I have several friends who are small business owners, and I even own my own small marketing company. I know first hand all of the hard work that goes into running a small business and am so excited and honored to be featuring dozens of fabulous women small business owners who more than deserve your business! 

Please grab a hot beverage of your choice, kick back, and enjoy this Small Business Saturday Christmas Shopping Guide!
