Dawn Meehan (aka mom2my6pack) grew up in Chicagoland where she began her writing career at the age 
of 5 with her widely praised, The Lucky Leprechaun, an epic tale of a leprechaun who is– yes, you guessed it, lucky.
During her school years, she repeatedly heard the phrases, “You’re not working up to your potential” and “If only you would apply yourself, you could do so much better”.
Because of her less than enthusiastic response to school, Dawn opted to skip college and get a job instead. In 1992, she married her husband, Joe. The young couple talked about having children and concluded that they’d like to have 2 kids. Naturally, after the 6th was born, they decided they were done. For real this time.
Dawn started her blog in June, 2007 in an attempt to earn a little money while staying home with her children. She placed an auction for a pack of Pokemon cards on eBay which took off and went viral through cyberspace. It drew the attention of tens of thousands of people to her blog, including her wonderful agent and her publisher, Guideposts.
Today, Dawn stays busy changing diapers, cleaning pudding off her ceiling, tackling insurmountable piles of laundry, and pulling her kids out of trees.
