BabbaBox's are way cool


Last week we highlighted a few great gifts for 2 year olds. This week, we found a unique gift for the 3-6 year old in your life!

Have you heard of the BabbaBox?

I learned about it in one of babybites recent newsletters. The BabbaBox is a topic-based activity box for kids delivered to doorsteps filled with activities, knowledge, and experiences that encompass all the ways kids love to learn!


A subscription box is delivered monthly with ALL the physical materials plus know-how content to really engage with your kids. Each month features a new theme-based box perfect for 3 – 6 year olds, right?  And better yet everything in the box is gender neutral.

So what's Inside the BabbaBox? Four major components are included to inspire your child: Create. Explore. Story tell and Connect.

If your order is placed before the 15th of the month, your first BabbaBox gift will arrive between the 15th & the 20th of the same month. If your order is placed after the 15th, your first BabbaBox gift will arrive around the 15th of the following month. Your BabbaBox gift will arrive around the 15th of each month after that (up to 3 months total). For more info click here

Looking for a fun activity this Sunday?


Check out the New Amsterdam Market in lower Manhattan this Sunday between 11am and 4pm. New Amsterdam Market will be hosting a family friendly activity open to the public where parents and their children are invited to make a one-of-kind, miniature book made out of recycled materials. Families can then document their experience at the market through a variety of artistic mediums.  Also be sure to check out their selection of holiday pre-orders if you are still looking for that last minute gift idea!

What is Sage Spoonfuls?


LLD is proud to introduce our families to our new friend Sage Spoonfuls founder Liza Huber. You may know the busy mother of three from the NBC daytime drama Passions. She also had the honor of being Miss Golden Globe in the year 2000. Her mother is Emmy-Award winning Susan Lucci of "All My Children". I invite you to get to know Liza-she’s great!

Liza and her family

It is always so interesting to hear everyone’s story on how they got started. What inspired you?

My children were, and continue to be, my inspiration for Sage Spoonfuls.  I first had the idea 5 years ago when my oldest was born and I started making his baby food.  There were no products on the market that made it easy for moms.  Then, when my second son came 2 months early and spent 6 weeks in the NICU, I knew I wouldn’t go back to work in the traditional sense for a while so I could be home with him.  That was when I decided to pursue and develop my idea for Sage Spoonfuls, because I could work from home.  When I was pregnant with our third baby, our daughter Hayden, I was on bed rest for the second half of my pregnancy.  That is when I finished my book and pulled it all together.  Royce was the initial inspiration, Brendan was the decision to pursue it and Hayden was the catalyst to get it all pulled together! 


What is your favorite simple recipe that you recommend to busy moms?

As a mom, my motto is “Sanity lies in preparation”.  That is the idea behind Sage Spoonfuls.  All baby food recipes are simple, but the key to making it easy is by preparing the foods in bulk and storing in Sage Spoonfuls jars in the freezer.  This way, you always have a stock of fresh, delicious and healthy baby food available.  All you need is 1 hour every 2 weeks, minimal effort for maximum benefit!

Tell us about your book!

I had so much fun writing my book and I am really excited about the finished product.  Sage Spoonfuls – Simple Recipes, Healthy Meals, Happy Babies is full of recipes, information and ideas from one busy, on-the-go mom to another!  My book includes everything you need to know about introducing and feeding your baby solids, including bonus family favorite recipes the entire family, babies and toddlers included, can enjoy together!  Moms will also find the most up-to-date information on food allergies, nutrition, foods to avoid, infant CPR, organics, finger foods, and much more!  There is even a journal section after each age group to keep track of your baby’s favorite foods.  My book is pediatrician recommended and filled with delicious, simple recipes and hundreds of yummy combinations to fit every baby’s needs.   Plus, it is full of fun commentary and beautiful photos to keep you excited about giving your baby the healthiest start to life!
