No this is not my Brady but an adorable replica of his likeness!

Cuddle Clones is a very special company specializing in creating a one of a kind, adorable plush replica that looks just like your pet! Imagine having a custom stuffed animal of your dog, cat or pet with you always? This is the perfect gift for pet lovers. We all know we have an emotional connection to our pets and these customized products are a great way for us to remember our pets if they have passed on or if you just want a stuffed animal that looks like your pet to snuggle with. Cuddle Clones can be the perfect way to honor a pet that has passed away.

The actual creation of the stuffed animal takes a while (that’s the customization part) but the process is easy. All you have to do is submit at least one picture (although several are preferred) and choose a few customization options (eye color, ear position, tail position) and then you will receive your Cuddle Clone. A portion of each Cuddle Clone purchased goes to pet-related causes so know that you will help out in the process as well.

Plush Cuddle Clones is the company’s flagship product, but they also sell pet replica figurines as well as customized collars, clothing, beds and gift cards. The Cuddle Clones prices range from $129 to $199 depending on the animal. They make all animals (Dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, etc.) Cuddle Clones makes the perfect gift for high school seniors and/or college freshman too. Embarking on a new adventure and without their pet can be a challenge at this time for young adults, but brining a small reminder of their pet with them can bring some comfort!   If you’re wanting to order a Cuddle Clone as a Christmas present, order no later than October 15th!

I have been waiting a while for this family fun activity! Bowling and dinner at Kings! Kings is a full service restaurant, bowling alley, and entertainment facility located at MarketStreet in Lynnfield. They are also known as a classy bowling joint! They also have a location in Boston in the back bay on Dalton Street. They have 16 Ten-Pin bowling lanes and you can also enjoy HDTV’s and projector screens.  The food is really good too! This is a great family friendly activity that is so much fun. It is also the perfect location for birthday celebrations.  They also have a schedule of fun activities each day of the week. Here is our adventure and the photos.

A few blogger friends and I met at @Noodlescompany in Burlington the other day to sample some of their yummy dishes.  This is a new restaurant in our area and I have to say, very kid friendly.  In fact every Monday now through the end of August from 4 PM until close kids can get a free small mac & cheese with an adult purchase.  They have a great selection of noodle dishes including chicken noodle soup! My two favorites are the Pesto Cavatappi and the Bangkok Curry. They also have sandwiches and salads to choose from too. I like how you can choose from a small size portion ($4.69) and a regular ($5.89) Great price points too. For those picky kids they even have a buttered noodles and a spaghetti and meatballs dish. Check out their facebook page. And if there is a day that you are not in the mood to cook and your kids are hungry check them out!  The menu has many items to choose from.
