Bubs Bears

Now that Maxton is a little over six months old, I’m starting to get a little sentimental about him growing up. I have all of his tiny little newborn outfits that I just can’t part with. I don’t want to loan them out… I don’t want to throw them away… and Max will NEVER fit into them again! What’s a Mom to do?? When my grandfather passed away, my Grammy made teddy bears from his old robes for my mom and all of her siblings. Though I was young, It always stuck with me because it was such a heartfelt gesture.

I’ve found this really great site where you can send in your old baby clothes and they will make you a customized patchwork bear! Just like Grammy used to make. Now, the word patchwork sends chills down this modern mom’s spine… but, Max had such cool clothes that I think it will be a pretty rockin’ bear. It’ll be all about selectively pairing the fabrics. And, they’ll even add a date and personalize it. What an amazing keepsake…
