it's so funny, I am really a type A person, and I keep this list - and as I cross things off, I add new things, but also take those things that I didn't do that day and add them to the top of the next day's list..make sense?? My point? "Blog" has been on my list for like 2 weeks now, and I cross all these other things off, do other things, and poor blog, he never gets done, he just gets transferred over to the new list, only to not get crossed off again and again... I am so not a blogger, and I have a lot of respect out there for you bloggers out there who come up with something crafty to say everyday - or something to write about or whatever. BRAVO! So, today, you "blog" you get crossed off my list, only to get added again in another couple of weeks. : ) Anyways for me, nothing too exciting here, but some good ole swap updates:
We do have some exciting news about new locations - one thing about not blogging often - I don't remember if I wrote about this or not (although - that could happen even if I wrote about it yesterday)~
So, New locations on the horizon! (some of these don't have locations/times/dates so if you would like to be added to the email list to get updates - just email the swap organizer directly)

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.
For more info on how it works & upcoming events- check out the website http://www.peaceloveswap.com/
happy swapping~meg & elle
