If you have a baby, you need baby gear.  Stocking up on that gear is one of the exciting parts of preparing for parenthood.  But for a lot of families out there, buying it can be a financial hardship, and that’s where organizations like Baby2Baby come in.

When the founders of Baby2Baby, who are all moms, found themselves with more kid stuff than they knew what to do with, they decided to create an organization that would collect new and gently used baby and toddler gear to distribute to poor families around Los Angeles.  Since 2006, Baby2Baby has been helping some of the over 130,000 poor families with children under the age of five. 

So to help Baby2Baby with its mission, my daughter and I sifted through her clothes, books and toys.  It wasn’t easy for Maggie to part with some of her stuff (kids just love their stuff), but I could tell that she liked the idea of another child enjoying her stuff as much as she had.
