Guest Post: Real Life “Sitcom”

Today’s guest post comes from Lauren of Oh Lordy! Here, she writes about the changes in interests in shopping and internet research that seem to correspond to different stages in life, and I couldn’t agree more!

Karen and her husband are currently expecting their first child, and I must say that she is sporting one of the cutest belly bumps I’ve seen in quite some time!
