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.

upcoming clothing swap events (and other updates)

HI Swappers!! What a great turnout for the bi monthly kids clothing and gear swap in Grass Valley CA.  It's always a fun swap for me b/c the volunteers are so awesome. They have been doing it  long enough that they practically run the show!! Also... there will be a new location for the Roseville, CA swap.  Sierra - one of our swap organizers in Colorado organized her first kid's clothing swap in Colorado Springs on the 14th of November and  did a GREAT job- look for swap #2 in March.  2 more swaps coming up in December - Chico, CA on Saturday Dec. 18 and Vacaville, CA on Saturday Dec. 19. Both are growing and promise a good turnout.  You can find more info and specific times/etc for all the swaps on the website here:  http://peaceloveswap.com/findanevent.html  - You can also follow us on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/pages/peace-love-swap/122114784212?v=wall&vm=all
On another note, I have had quite a few moms that attend the kid's swaps inquire about us doing clothing swaps for them...moms getting together to swap clothes, shoes & accessories.  It's something we will have to look at, as our core goal is to create kid's swaps.  Our main focus will always be baby/kid/maternity swaps - but moms need to refresh their wardrobes too - I read somewhere that we wear 20% of our clothes 80% of the time. That is a lot of unworn stuff in our closets.  We will see.... Your input is appreciated.
Hope everyone has a WONDERFUL holiday season and .....
happy swapping!
