AKA: a bunch of my collected random thoughts, mostly previously posted on Reddit. For my Rarity-obsessed daughter’s third (!) birthday – she features quite heavily in the blog, and is in many ways the reason I’m here – she requested a pony-themed party, and my sister made her an awesome Rarity party game. I went on Reddit to show it off, only to see someone else had also made the exact same game for a birthday party that week. Freaked me right out, it did.

My daughter loves Rarity above all other ponies, and so my sister (the artistically talented one in the family!) decided to be the cool aunt and made this awesome game for her niece – I don’t know if you can see, but Rarity’s tail, cutie mark and earring are all stick-ons, and there were some more accessories (and an Opal!) but sadly I failed to take a picture before the crowd of 3-year-olds got to those…!

For bonus points, spot one of her presents in the picture. Her and her brother (5) have arguments over whether her name is “Muffins” (my daughter) or “Derpy” (my son). Either way, lots of plushie cuddles were had.
