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.

New online groups for local swapping

Hi There..... no baby yet, so I am just trying to squeeze in as much work as possible before d-day. It's super hot here - and I am sporting a super large belly to boot. : ) If you have ever visited our website (www.peaceloveswap.com ) ... which I hope you have.... you might know that we have a little part of our swapping empire that is called "peace. love. swap - online" - basically, it's a place for moms to connect with one another between the local "in person" swaps.  Our focus - or our goal,  is to meet in person and hold kid's clothing and gear swaps on a regular basis, to help moms get these ongoing swaps up and running in cities everywhere & to support local charities & families in need -- there is something to be said for getting offline and connecting with other moms in the flesh - plus you can see what you are getting, have your kid's try things on, and swap way more than just clothes. However, with the growing number of websites that are "online swap sites" we want to be able to connect moms online as well. You can find the group links on our website - either on each individual location page http://peaceloveswap.com/findanevent.html as well as the p.l.s online page: http://peaceloveswap.com/plsonlinegroups.html -- Basically, they are yahoo groups that will be started in the areas where we have ongoing clothing swaps for kids.  They are for moms to connect with other swapaholic moms in between the actual p.l.s events. You can post things you are looking for, you can try to sell a larger more expensive item before bringing it to a swap, you can trade like items for like items... it's really up to you. We just wanted to create an online forum for each of our communities. Some of them are already live, some are in the works. Let us know if you have any questions - and until the next swap...
Happy swapping... online :)
