HugNotes.com, a new company started by Wendy Vianese, a mother of three offers parents a way to communicate with their kids at school. Wendy wanted a way to brighter her kid's day at school by sending words of love and encouragement so she started sending lunch box notes, and her kids loved them. She then added puzzles and jokes and even started sending notes with her husband's lunch.
