COME HANG OUT WITH US at Family Swap Day!
We are STOKED to be co-hosting a family swap with the fabulous ladies from The Swapaholics! ITS TOMORROW in Somerville, MA Us, Adriana from Just By Living, Boston mamas & my lady from Before I was a Mom are joining The Swapaholics and Green Halloween to host a family swap. What is Green Halloween? Who are The Swapaholics?
Well...
Green Halloween is collective of like minded folks trying to create an awareness for a more healthy and eco conscious holiday. It was started in Seattle and is in partnership with Ecomom.
The Swapaholics are Melissa Massello and Amy Chase. Two lovely ladies from the Boston area who run swaps all over the country.
This is how it works.
