You have GOT to be kidding me! – Hive and Nest

In case you haven’t noticed I have had several babies.  There is a lot of stuff that you need to buy when you have a baby.  With each child I realized that parents actually need fewer things than they think they do.  But that is not the message that parents get.  I went into Babies R Them a few days ago trying to find my favorite brand of sippy cups, and my mind almost frothed over because of all the ridiculous baby stuff that is paraded in front of naive and gullible new parents.  The shops, however are nothing compared to the catalogs.  Especially the One Step Ahead catalog.  Don’t get me wrong.  I have ordered some great products from this catalog over the years.  But there are also some completely ridiculous things in there as well.  My list of most eye-rolling products:
