Every Child Deserves to Belong.

The Heart Behind Blushbottoms

Inspiring children everywhere to feel safe, loved, and enough just as they are.

Blushbottoms began with my own story. During my very first meeting as a child in foster care, my adoptive parents gave me a stuffed bear. That bear, named Blushbottoms, became my constant reminder that I was loved, safe, and that I belonged.

Today, Blushbottoms has grown into more than a bear. It’s a movement to help children everywhere know they are enough just the way they are.
