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.

7 swaps on the horizon...

I wanted to let everyone know we had a GREAT swap in Sacramento CA. Heather is a p.l.s veteran : ) and has been with us for about 8 months (that's a veteran since we have only been around for a little over a year and a half!) Anyways, she always has a great turnout : )
We have SO many swaps coming up in February -
2/5 Grass Valley, CA  (put on by yours truly)peaceloveswap@gmail.com
2/5 Vacaville, CA - contact Sameeyah plsvacaville@gmail.com
2/19 Roseville, CA - contact Elle plsrocklin@gmail.com (NEW LOCATION!)
2/19 Yuba City, CA - NEW SWAP - Liz Selter - plsyubacity@gmail.com
2/20 Natomas, CA (liz - doing 2 swaps back to back! holy cow!!) - Liz Selter - plsnatomas@gmail.com (FYI if you missed the Sacramento kid's swap - go to this one : )
2/20 Los Angeles - South Bay (Manhattan Beach) NEW SWAP - Laurie Phan - plssouthbay@gmail.com
2/26 Cameron Park/El Dorado Hills, CA - Heather plscameronpark@gmail.com

That's 7 kid's clothing swaps this month!! I had mentioned we are quickly approaching our 50th swap and will throwing first annual (well annual if it goes well! ) SWAP- a - PALOOZA  : ) Yeah!!! - Stay tuned for details on this....

The biggest "complaint" I get is.. these are all in California - when are you going to be in my city. Well, we are definitely working on it. We are talking with swap lovin' moms every day and promise that over the next six months you will see peace. love. swap in many more states across the US.

So, if you have kid's stuff to swap, and don't have a swap event in your city, please hold on to your stuff, we will be there soon!  Or, If you have some spare time, want to make some extra cash and help your community & the environment - why don't YOU contact us?  There is nothing like a peace. love. swap event.  You can swap online - but you pay $13-$15 and will only get a tiny fraction of what you get for only $5 at one of our swap events. I am actually going to take pictures at my next event of what moms are taking home for $5 - you will be AMAZED : )

Have a great day -  stay green.: )

happy swapping!
