Boston biz helps families stay connected during back-to-school chaos

Local product helps busy parents maintain parent/child bond

Boston parents Jim and Monika Adorney know that between getting breakfast on the table, rushing out the door to work and making it to soccer practice, it can difficult to find a few moments to spend time together as a family. So, they enlisted the help of their three daughters to create Lunchbox Buddies, a product that helps families stay connected during the busy day.

Every packet of Lunchbox Buddies contains a collection of wacky lunchbox notes, each with a silly message and original cartoon character created by professional designer Jim Adorney and his family. From Orbit the Space Cadet to Kelvin the Goofball, every character has a unique look and personality, and can be colored, decorated and traded.

“My wife and I are big believers that small things like notes in a lunchbox can make a huge difference with your relationship with your kids,” says Adorney. “With lunch notes, I’m able to play an active role in my daughters’ days in a fun and unique way, despite my busy schedule.”
