(~note to Mother Nature-it's April 1st and my kids should not be having a snow day)
but it's warm inside and the party has started!
5 minutes for mom is hosting their annual Ultimate Blog Party! Join in and meet some new friends, find some great new blogs and maybe win a prize.
For those of you visiting 7 All Together for the first time, I've been updating my blog recently, but still working on my about me page. I'm Dawn, mom of 5, ranging in ages from 14-3, 4 girls and a boy. I've taught both junior high and elementary school but I've been home with the kids since my oldest was about 6 months old.
Although peanut m&m's are what help me get through the day, I also {love, love, love} all that is quick, easy and inexpensive. Anything to make my day easier! Quick and easy dinners, a dessert that can be whipped up fast, gifts you can make when you find out the birthday party is tomorrow, cute crafts or costumes I can make no matter what else I have going on to surprise my kids. Love to share what I find and also little bits of my life with 5 kids.
Thanks for visiting!

Hi Dawn, I didn't realize that we were both (former) teachers! I used to teach grades 1-3, and have been at home for about the same number of years as you. I still spend a huge amount of time at school volunteering and doing fundraisers, so I feel like I never really left school! I'm with you on quick and easy dinners and everything that is easy and inexpensive. Glad to 'know' you a bit more!
Thanks for visiting my blog. I am all about quick, easy, and inexpensive, too. I used to teach as well, but have been a SAHM since my oldest was born. (He was born the first day of summer break.) Hope you have a great day!
Another former teacher turned stay-at-home mom here! Pass me some of those peanut M&M's and let's chat! :)
Stopping by from UBP! It is so awesome that you have 5 wonderful children! Me and my husband both come from big families!

Nice to meet you, Dawn.
Thanks for the tip about the blog party - I've already opened it in another tab so I can join in. Stay warm!
Mother Nature has a great sense of humor doesn't she?
I'm also a mother of 5...but my kiddos range in ages from 4 up to 28. Yikes! I know. Crazy. :)
M&Ms are my favorite! We'd get along good (or well)

Hi Dawn! So great to meet you and so glad to meet another Mom that loves camping!!! We just got a new tent and can't wait to try it out. Also love peanut M&M's.. one of the main reason I shop at Costco (to get the big bag of them!!!). Thanks for stopping by my site:)
