CONGRATS KELSEY!!!!

Hello friends! Tricia is guest posting for me today, and so I'm over here entertaining you all. I am glad to be here!! Allow me to introduce myself! My name is Brittany.


People think I look like I'm 14.
I'm not...I'm 15. (kidding.)
I am a stay-at-home mom to one rambunctious little boy named Jack,
also known as Jackson, JT, Jack Jack, Jackers, Baby, Action Man, and (Turd Face.)
My husband is a political science major and consequently I hate talking about politics.
I hear enuff of that stuff every day.
I blog during naptime (& while JT is watching Cars) over at House of Sorensens.
I have lots of fun tutorials, play date ideas, recipes, and guest bloggers over on my blog all the time. It's a party!

I am super excited (!!) to be guest posting at I Heart Rock N Roll today!! I really do heart rock & roll. And crafty things too. I am probably one of the five women here in Utah who didn't pop out of the womb with a sewing machine in hand, but I have been able to establish my own kind of crafty, sans-sewing machine. I am a nifty sign maker.











I just opened my shop, 41 West Designs, and I am loving it. Like I mentioned above, I can't sew. But I have always had a huge desire to be creative! So I decided to bust out the man-tools and cut some wood, paint it, sand it, and call it art. It is a lot of work, it is very tedious and time consuming, but I am lucky I have something else to occupy my free time with other than... *cough - Facebook - cough*. I have a hobby that I love.

I hope you love my hobby too, because I am hosting an amazing GIVEAWAY for you guys!!

Through The Wag Shack, we hope to establish a network of fellow animal lovers – spreading PET JOY, enriching the lives of others.

Our blog, All For The Wag, is a gathering place to share interesting pet-related news and ideas, and interact with fellow animal lovers.  We recently created a page for folks to identify “pet friendly” places across the US, with the intention of providing yet another way for people to spend more quality time with their BFF’s (best fur-friends).


As you read our blog, and purchase from our store we hope you experience PET JOY with the PAWsome animals in your life.

The Wag Shack offers unique items to help folks connect more with the animals in their lives, a few of my personal favorites are

This Is It!

Hi my lovelies!

So, I am totally enjoying the blog world! It is so much fun!

I am working hard on getting guest bloggers, giveaways, sponsors etc lined up!
So far so good! :) I have 3 great gals! You are going to love them as much as I do!
Right now, I have been posting on Mondays but starting next week Monday will be reserved for my guest bloggers! Yay!

Wednesdays will be focused on another passion of mine - you already know I love rock and crafts! But one thing I also love (which you won't be able to tell from my picture) is health and fitness! I really love sharing about my goals in the hopes it will keep me motivated and possibly motivate some of you too! This can be a day of sharing workout ideas, deals on workout gear, recipes, WHATEVER you want regarding health and fitness! This blog is about us not me - I don't want it to be just 100's of pictures of me!

Day #1
This is the ultimate accountability for me! <GULP>  No going back! So, stay tuned for next Wednesday! Are you ready to rock!?! I am!
We are women! Hear us roar!
(If there are any men out there following you can roar too!)


Peace & Love

Tricia L.
