peace. love. swap: Easter, Colfax swap & Upcoming swaps

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 swapping~

Easter, Colfax swap & Upcoming swaps

So the title says it all huh?? this is what happens when you don't blog often. stuff you want to write about builds up. So... 1. Easter - yep - this weekend, have a wonderful holiday with your families. The Nevada County swap was scheduled for tomorrow, but we moved it to 4/17 because of all the activities going on tomorrow. I hope the weather is nice.. : ) 2. Colfax swap - good times. Not as large as the other swaps, but small town and it was their first swap. I think we have a mom working on #2 planned for the fall sometime.. more on that later. Upcoming swaps!!! wow, lots... 4/17 Nevada County, 4/22 (Earth Day) in SF - East Bay, 5/12 live on Good Sacramento - swapping at Funderland in Sacramento, 5/15 in Rocklin, 5/22 in Vacaville, and then 5/29 in Cameron Park/El Dorado Hills. BUSY BUSY! Elle is taking over the Rocklin swap, Wani is taking over the Cameron Park/EDH swap, and starting a new one in Placerville. And.. me? I am working on the Bay Area & my hometown Grass Valley of course. If you know of anyone in the bay area interested in taking one over send them my way. I got some great stuff for the baby #4 at the last swap, still have a few things on my list, but I am mostly covered, I will try to take some pics and post soon. Hope you all have a great Easter and find lots of eggs!
