NICE will showcase local businesses and products that support parenting journeys from pregnancy to preschool. This is a wonderful opportunity for the parenting community of the South Shore to come together to meet and learn on a large scale. Many local companies dedicated to natural and organic products are found online, so NICE will provide a marketplace where parents can smell, sample, and try things on.


“I have met so many families who are looking to learn more about healthy practices and items, but people prefer to touch and try products before they purchase them. At NICE, I’m excited to be able to provide all of that in one place, as well as a way for like-minded families to meet,”

 -  Palestina Baronas, founder of NICE -

“Be prepared to utilize all your senses in this unique shopping experience.”


NICE will feature more than thirty exhibitors and service providers. Exhibitors from a range of businesses will explore topics like chiropractic care for the whole family, prenatal wellness, non-toxic products for the home, babywearing, and more at their tables. In addition, a variety of products and services will be on display, including:
·         Natural beauty products
·         Children’s books and activities
·         Doulas and breastfeeding support
·         Photography
·         Babywearing
·         And much more!
