www.lotsofbabystuff.com

Wow! I am going on line only to discover that our web browser is filled with new web addresses. Have you seen all of the web sites for baby stuff?! It's targeted mechanizing at that most uncertain, most unaware, and most uninformed group of consumers...first time parents.

You're not planning on using disposable diapers are you?
Don't you know that low thread count baby sheets lead to colic?
What do you mean you're not going to buy a tungsten steel reinforced crib rated up to 2000 lbs?
Using Martha Stewart paints has been proven to lead to higher SAT scores.
Don't you want the best for your baby?
What kind of trailer trash parent are you going to amount to if you don't buy our stuff?!

Let the guilt and worry of being a poor parent begin now.

These web sites have great names like Prince Lion Heart, Bebe Chic, Posh Tots, Rumble Tuff, and Land of Nod. Awww. How precious. When you're not being guilted into buying tough you are getting sucked into the cuteness of the web site.

We're all suckers for adorable little faces with big round eyes.

Keep in mind that we still receive baby magazines and purchase them in the checkout line. It's not for lack of resources on our part.

I'm not sure how we are supposed to keep track of all of these pieces of information? Thank God that Lisa is a master on line shopper.

Bewildered in cyber space.
