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.

San Francisco - North Bay/Marin County kid's & clothing swap

So, while Elle was down in So Cal, doing the first swap in Arcadia, I was up here in Nor Cal -San Rafael - doing the North Bay/Marin County swap. What a great one! Wonderful venue... Gymworld - they have a new - beautiful (air conditioned) location - it was perfect for the swap. They have some great Grand Opening specials including $50 off Summer Camps & Birthday Parties.  About 20 or so moms turned up - which is pretty normal for a new first time location. The moms were very enthusiastic and I expect when we do the next swap - which will be sometime in early Sept. - there will easily be twice as many moms, if not more. We also had some great raffle donors! I am going to be off the swap circuit until the next Nevada County swap on August 7, because our baby is due on July 15 & I just don't think I can squeeze one more in. : )  I have literally gotten everything I need for the new baby from the swaps - except for a car seat - and I still need a snap & go stroller. Other than that - I am set... I didn't have to buy one thing!! And, I will bring it all back to the swaps when our new one grows out of everything.  Keep checking the website and/ or facebook to keep updated on all upcoming swaps! Try to keep cool in the summer heat -
see you soon,
happy swapping,
meg
