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.

Rocklin kid's clothing and gear swap... this weekend 3/20

Hi! just got back from a great little getaway with the fam. Went to Fort Bragg (next to Mendocino) - good times. : ) The Rocklin swap is coming up this weekend and is always a BIG swap - lots of stuff. We also have some great stuff to raffle off & our first vendor - Lorraine Bragg - and independent Mary Kay consultant. Being a vendor is a great way to get out and meet the moms in your community. There is often an hour - hour and a half between the start of drop off and the swap start - Kid's usually are playing, so vendors will give mom something to check out while waiting. Let me know if you would like to set up a table at one our swaps. Some of them get close to 100 moms. I also have firmed up a date for the East Bay swap - in Emeryville on 4/22 - Earth Day!! perfect. It will be at Head Over Heels Gymnastics, 4701 Doyle St. Bldg. F Emeryville CA.. They have a great facility. This swap will be in the afternoon on a Thursday - if you work - maybe you can make it by on your lunch break - it will be from 12-3pm. It will be the same as our other events $5 admission, however - HOH is a non profit gym and they will need to cover their costs too, if you want to do open gym during the swap, it will be an additional $5 to play (normally it is $10 for open gym, so this is a great deal). Stay tuned for details or check the website, there will be parking instructions up soon. If you know of anyone in the Bay Area that would like to participate as a sponsor, vendor or raffle donor - let me know. Look forward to seeing you soon!!
Till then,
happy swapping,
meg
