Putting myself out there.

Sometimes, not all the time, but sometimes... you may think to yourself; I don't think so, but... I do:

Hold back.

Sometimes, I get nervous to put myself out there.  To meet new people, to shake a new hand at church.  To say, "Hi, I am Andrea, and I am a dork, but it is nice to meet you.

Today, I am doing just that.  Blogging has allowed me the opportunity to make new friends.  So... to all those friends I don't know, I am joining the "Dishing it" party over at Serenity Now.

She wants us to dish about our blogs.  Here is the scoop:

I am Andrea Swenson.  I am a dork, and a little quirky.

 

I have been blogging for a little over 2 years.  I started blogging because I live so far away from my family.  It was a way to share photos, video and funny one-liners from the rug rats.

Our blog was first called The Swenson Family 5. 

Just before Baby #4(which would make us 6) was born I changed the title.  It is now called, J & A and Co.

The reason being, both our families have shortened our names to J & A.  I thought it only fitting to add the Co., because we are so much more then J & A now.

I blog about what is important to me.  I share about my

family like I have from the beginning.  This is the main

purpose I started blogging.  This will remain my purpose always. 

I add in a recipe, tip or idea every now and again.  I also "try" to post about something I have learned every Thursday.  Stay tuned for tomorrow.

If I had to choose a famous person to read my blog, it would have to be: Pioneer Woman.  I have recently fell in love with her style, her ideas and her family values.(she's famous right? she was recently on the View)

I hope you enjoyed the dish. 

I hope I get to make a few new friends.

Go on over and link up.  Dish yourself.  Put yourself out there.  Don't hold back.

You never know, you just might make a new friend.
