North Shore MOM BOSS Small Business Guide

Find out how to get your small business listed here!

By Cheryl Lachendro- Macaroni Kid North Shore MA October 6, 2023

What is a Mom Boss of a small business?  Well, Urban Dictionary, a crowdsourced online dictionary for slang words and phrases, defines a Mom Boss as "an ambitious, highly driven, fierce, and outspoken mother, who gets the job done, whether the job is being a homemaker, a stay at home mom, a career woman, a working mom, or mom-preneur".

North Shore Macaroni Kid has been fortunate to meet and proudly become friends with some pretty amazing Mom Bosses who literally rule the North Shore of Massachusetts and are also some of the nicest moms ever! There is something to be said for these ladies who have become a driving force for women in the community, but also do everything with kindness and thoughtfulness for other moms and families.  They appreciate our business as much as we appreciate them creating these incredible businesses and opportunities.  

Below please find our list of Mom Bosses who own their own small business.

If you or someone you know could be considered a MOM BOSS, and would like to be listed here, please email me at cheryllachendro@macaronikid.com or visit our North Shore Small Business Advertising article for more info!

Often, the children's participation results in a new take on a traditional tale. Storytelling is a proven tool for teaching and reinforcing learning skills. Stories at Play's energetic, interactive and educational performances and programming can come in person or online to the classroom, the library or the living room.Summer performances include:"Eyes and Ears and Mouth and ... Tail!" Aligned with the library summer reading program theme, Animal Tales and Tails, this program highlights endangered environments and species, including folktales from Brazil, Panama and Scotland.
