Welcome to the peace. love. swap. blog

The peace. love. swap mission is to keep gently used baby, kid, and maternity items out of landfills and to donate to local charities by producing fun, affordable, family friendly swaps where you can get together & exchange your unwanted/ outgrown items on an regular basis.
You can find more info about peace. love. swap at http://www.peaceloveswap.com/ . You can also email Meg at peaceloveswap@gmail.com This is general info about p.l.s (peace. love. swap)- where I let people know about updates to the current swaps, new swaps coming up, and general info about swaps in general. Hi! My name is Meg & I married, live in Grass Valley, CA and have 3 beautiful kids (Christian, Milla & Lola) and one on the way. I started doing these kid's clothing and gear swaps in June 2009 in Nevada County. They were fun, rewarding and very needed. After getting emails from moms asking when I was coming to their area, I knew I had to help moms get them going in their own cities. I also knew that in order to grow peace. love. swap, I was going to need help. In February 2010, I welcomed Elle Beyer on as a partner. Elle is also a mom of 4, wife, small business owner, performer, artist, and martial arts pro. Elle found me while posting her children's clothes online, loved the idea and became a regular swapper. After the first swap, she was addicted as well, and wanted to help take p.l.s to the national, or even worldwide level. Along with Elle, I think we have what it takes to recruit moms everywhere and offer our events in different cities across the US.

happy holidays from p.l.s.

So "the holidays" are almost over.... most people include New Year's in the holiday mix - so officially we've got a few more days. There won't be a Nevada County swap on January 2, and after a lot of thinking (and looking at schedules) - The Nevada County swap will go on every other month (even months - starting 2/6)- and alternate with the Rocklin/Roseville swap (odd months starting 1/23). For those of you that don't know, I am pregnant (about 3 months along) and doing any more than 2 swaps a month is a stretch with all the loading & unloading (helloooo still need a trailer) :). I am also doing a swap in Colfax in March (3/27) and also in Marin County in April (5/25)- plus, I want to help moms and groups start a p.l.s. swap in their own community. All of these new dates, locations and new times are on the website - so please check the upcoming events page. And, as always - we are looking for sponsors - the amount of followers and website traffic we get grows on a daily basis - it's a great way to reach out to a lot of moms & it's tax deductible.
Have a GREAT New Year - and I will see you in 2010!!
happy swapping -
