Summer Trippin': Where to go and what to do from coast to coast

Please Pass the Blankie

You hang onto all sorts of things for sentimental reasons.

Now might be a good time to point out that a diaper pail isn’t much of a keepsake.

But Baby2Baby sure could use it. Started by three moms who share the desire to help needy babes and a reduce, reuse, recycle mentality, the charity hooks tiny folks across L.A. up with new and gently used gear and clothing.

Simply gather your donations and head to a drop-off location in Los Feliz, West L.A., or the Laurel Canyon/Mulholland area. Baby2Baby does the rest.

Lending a helping hand-me-down never felt so good.
