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.

Nevada County kids swap this weekend 2/6/10

Gearing up for the swap this weekend at Gold Country Gymnastics. I have some bigger things that people were supposed to pick up at my house. One of those things is a bed rail. I will post on the yahoo group too - I like to get rid of some of the big items online b/c I just don't have the room to take everything. SO if you want it let me know! :) One thing we will be doing different from here on out is having people hang their own items at the swap when they don't come with items on hangers. We do have plenty of extra hangers - it's just time consuming for the volunteers to hang, sort and put everything where it needs to go. :) It worked out great at the Rocklin swap. Just make sure to NOT hang pants, shorts, or skirts for the 0-2 size range (unless it's part of an outfit). Thanks!! that's about it for now - I should find out what the baby is in the next couple of weeks (had my amnio yesterday - but they couldn't tell with the ultrasound) - Once I know that, I will be able to start looking for more items we will need for the baby!! I will keep you posted. Also, p.l.s. is looking to expand into the following areas, we are in the process of finding venues and booking dates - let us know if you would like to be added to any of the following lists:
Redding,
Yuba City/Marysville
Fairfield
Berkeley
San Jose


happy swapping,
meg
