Dining with Dylan Parent Profile
Meet Kristine Babish, the amazing mom behind the adorable
“Dining with Dylan” bento box meal inspirations
you have been seeing the last few weeks!

Name:
Kristine Babish

Are you a working mom or stay at home mom?
I am a stay at home mom who earns supplemental income planning events with Club MomMe in Los Angeles.

Names of kids/ages/genders/and what they’re into these days:
My son, Dylan, turns 2 this week! He is obsessed with trains, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Disneyland! We usually spend about an hour or so at Disneyland riding the train around and around. (We have an Annual Passport, and go every 2 weeks or so.)

Where does your family live?
We live in Los Angeles, CA. I spent about 5 years living in Newport Beach, CA in my twenties.

How did you first learn about Itzy Ritzy?
As a parent who tries to make a conscious effort to go green, I found these fab snack bags while searching for reusable bags on Diapers.com. And Club MomMe, the company I work for, LOVES Itzy Ritzy products! We always recommend them to our event attendees!

Favorite Itzy Ritzy product and fabric?
The Lunch Happens™ Bento Lunch Boxes are actually my favorite items! The Monkey is too adorable for words! I also like to accessorize the Lunch Happens™ Bento Lunch Box with the monkey print snack bags.

We are loving this “Dining with Dylan” feature and want to ask a few questions about the star.

What is Dylan’s favorite lunch?
Dylan’s favorite lunch is Mickey Mouse shaped grilled cheese on Ezekiel bread , Snack Factory Original Pretzel Crisps, and apple slices with homemade organic chocolate chip cookies as dessert.

What does Dylan like best about his Lunch Happens™ Bento Lunch Boxes?
Filling them up with all sorts of snacks so that he can share his “snack buffet” with his classmates in the Outside the Box Educational Center.

What is Dylan’s favorite thing to help make in the kitchen?
Anything that goes into our Ninja blender or Cuisinart food processor. He loves pushing the buttons! On occasion, he seems to like pushing Mommy’s buttons too.

How do you like being our Bento Box Mom?
I am honored to be a part of such a fun project! I enjoy playing with different ideas for the boxes and letting Dylan sit with me in the kitchen while I prepare them.

What surprised you most about being a mom?
How much I could love this little human! It’s an overwhelming emotion!

What are your must-have winter products?
For me personally, I cannot live without my UGGs! For my son, Skidders, because I want him to wear socks in the cooler weather, but don’t want him to slide all over the place. And baking tools! There is nothing more comforting than baking on a chilly day, especially with my little sous chef!

Favorite date night with your husband?
Getting dressed up and going to a Philharmonic performance, especially if conducted by the great film composer, John Williams, following a lovely 3 course dinner at a 5-star restaurant. As the mother of a toddler, there is a new found appreciation for a nice, quiet dinner and the satisfaction of dining on something other than café food when you eat out.

Guilty pleasures?
Shopping - Online, out and about. I could spend hours in Target (and I have) or a really great outdoor mall.

Anything else you’d like to share with the Itzy Ritzy community?
Take Motherhood one day at a time!
Thank you for sharing, Kristine.
We look forward to more tasty “Dining with Dylan” inspirations and we hope Dylan has a
very special 2nd birthday!

xoxo, Itzy Ritzy
