Blog Bash

 

I'm joining up in the 1st Annual Blog Bash!

 

My name is Elsie and I've been married for five years this Septmeber. I have a 15-month-old son who keeps me on my toes and I love more than anything else in this world. I love to knit, but I have a short attention span, so I tend to do small projects. I have a bunch of hobbies, but I kinda fly from one thing to another, so I never get really good at any of them.

 

I blog because I've always been a journal writer and this just seemed like a natural progression to move to blogging. Sharing with others sometimes gives perspective to my thoughts that I might not have just writing them down for myself. I'm also enjoying recording my experiences with my son - things I'm sure I'd otherwise forget years down the road.

 

I blog about the craft projects I try, books I'm reading, recipes I'm trying and mostly about my family.

 

I think that the biggest reward about blogging is the connection between me and other bloggers. It's really a community of people and even though we don't know each other in person, we are still bound together by our blogging (kinda weird, but cool!)

 

I have blogged off and on for several years, but I just got serious about in the last 6 months or so. I'm a little more focused this time and getting more involved in the previously mentioned blogging community, so I'm hoping I stick with it this time! =)

 

Ahh... the story behind my blog title.... how can I explain without giving too many personal details away - I don't want any creepies coming to find me. =)

 Okay... my maiden name had something to do with nature. So when I was growing up a lady in our church always used to call me Little Sprout as a joke. She'd send cards and stuff address to Mr. and Mrs. ___ and Little Sprout. I just always thought that was kinda cute and now I have my own Little Sprout. So Little Sprout Growing has kind of a duel meaning to me - it is the record of my Little Sprout growing up and also my story of growing up - because although I may technically be an adult now - I'm still maturing, having experiences, learning new things or more simply - growing. =)

 

So thanks so much for visiting my blog. I'm very excited to be a part of this awesome Blog Bash! If you like what you see, I hope you'll follow me and even if you're just passing through... thanks for stopping by!
