Shiny Happy People

I was shocked to see how much stuff there is available for new babies and new mommys. I mean, it's astounding , the plethora of thing-a-ma-bobs you actually DON'T need. Somehow, manufactures and huge baby chains make us think we need them. I know, I know... They are so cute cause it comes in pink, yellow, and blue shiny plastic. But do you really necessitate an automatic baby food dispenser? I don't know about y'all...(yes I said y'all, I'm from Georgia so I can do that), but my elbow-spoon-jar combo works great for me.


Do you have stories of things you thought were frivolous and ridiculous until you got one? Please enlighten us if you have. Maybe I'll NEED one too! :)
