It feels like a full-circle moment and the end of an era. 🥹
I started Cozy-hearted as a way to give back to Project Bubaloo, the nonprofit my sister and I started after she lost her son, Theo, to Congenital Heart Disease (CHD). Theo spent all six months of his life at Children’s Wisconsin, and it felt incredibly meaningful to donate the rest of our baby blankets and loveys to the CICU, the same floor that Theo and our family called home.
The mission of Cozy-hearted was always to spread comfort and awareness for CHD, and it helped do that. Last year, Project Bubaloo surpassed our goal of raising $1 million for CHD and we’re not stopping there.💰
Closing this chapter feels bittersweet (turns out really nice blankets are really expensive 😅), but when I think about what Cozy-hearted truly became, it was never just about blankets. It was a reminder to slow down. To be where your feet are. To curl up under your OG Cozy or Warm-Hearted blanket and reconnect with yourself in the ordinary moments.
That’s the part that lights me up most.
I couldn’t be more grateful for every one of you and the community we’ve built together. Looking back through all these pictures made me smile and cry. This brand was born when Ada was a baby…it’s been a part of our family.
I cannot thank enough for capturing every step of the way. Literally all of the last minute photo shoots and the time and love she put into supporting me. Of course Laura at who helped bring my brand vision to life and made everything look SO good. And of course for supporting my ideas and ventures no matter how crazy or how many there are. One of these days I’ll get it right. 😘
And if I’m being really honest right now. I still can’t bring myself to change the handle (someone please tell me what to do 😂).
Thingsthatmakemefeelgood feels more aligned. More personal. More me. I hope you’ll still be here when I finally work up the courage to make the switch.
While the content may evolve, the work of Project Bubaloo will continue, and the message from me will remain the same:
You can always come back to yourself. 💙
