For Kemisha Levy, The Little Bee Box was born from listening closely to mothers who were tired, overwhelmed, and craving simplicity. What began as a baby clothing brand evolved into a subscription experience designed to support both baby and mom, delivering thoughtfully curated pieces with intention behind every detail. Rooted in care, convenience, and connection, Kemisha’s work is about creating moments that help mothers slow down, feel seen, and breathe a little easier in the midst of busy seasons. Through each box, she’s redefining what support in modern motherhood can look like — gentle, meaningful, and deeply human.
Hi Kemisha, thank you so much for joining us again. I’m sure things are super busy, especially this time of year, so let’s jump right into it. The Little Bee Box is such a thoughtful concept for both babies and mothers. What inspired you to create a subscription box that pours into moms as much as it delights little ones?
I originally started with a baby clothing store, and through that journey I kept hearing the same thing from moms — they were tired, overwhelmed, and just trying to keep up. As I connected more deeply with mothers, I realized they didn’t just need cute clothes for their babies; they needed support, simplicity, and something that made mom’s life easier.
That’s how The Little Bee Box was born. It became a natural extension of my clothing brand, created to take one thing off a mom’s plate. Instead of hunting for outfits, coordinating pieces, or constantly shopping, The Little Bee Box delivers thoughtfully curated items right to her door — with intention behind every piece.
At its core, The Little Bee Box exists to make motherhood feel a little lighter. It’s about convenience, comfort, and care — for both baby and mom. Because when moms feel supported, everything else flows better.
You emphasize intention in every box, from the curated items to the monthly themes. What does that curation process look like, and how do you decide what makes it into a Little Bee Box?
Every box starts with intention. I choose a monthly theme that reflects a real moment in motherhood — joy, rest, growth, comfort, or simply slowing down. From there, I curate items that are not only beautiful and high-quality, but practical and meaningful. I ask myself: Does this serve a purpose? Does it spark joy? Does it feel like a gentle exhale for a mom? If it doesn’t pass that test, it doesn’t make the box.
Parenting can be joyful but also overwhelming. How do you hope The Little Bee Box helps moms slow down, feel supported, and create meaningful moments during busy seasons of motherhood?
Motherhood moves fast. The Little Bee Box is designed to be a pause — a moment where a mom feels seen without having to ask. Whether it’s cozy pajamas for her little one or a small reminder just for her, my hope is that it helps moms slow down, savor the season they’re in, and create intentional memories instead of rushing through them.
Including a special treat for mom is such a beautiful touch. Why was it important to you that mothers feel seen and cared for through this experience?
Because moms are not an afterthought — they’re the foundation. Including something just for her was non-negotiable for me. It’s a quiet way of saying, “You matter too.” Motherhood often teaches women to put themselves last, and I wanted to gently disrupt that pattern with every box.
As the brand has grown, how have you seen customers connect with The Little Bee Box, and what kind of feedback has stayed with you the most?
The messages are what stay with me. Moms telling me they felt emotional opening their box, that it came right when they needed encouragement, or that it became a small tradition in their home — those moments are everything. It reminds me that this brand is about more than products; it’s about connection.
Looking ahead, what’s next for The Little Bee Box, and how do you hope it continues to show up as a trusted resource for modern moms and families?
Looking ahead, I want The Little Bee Box to continue growing as a trusted space for modern motherhood — not just through products, but through community, storytelling, and resources that support moms at every stage. My vision is for it to remain a place where moms feel understood, supported, and reminded that they’re doing a beautiful job.
