This Pretty Ponty Birthday Party was originally hosted by Kathryn & Ashleigh from Bee in Our Bonnet
——
I think if we all remember back to our childhood we all wanted a pony for our birthday or for Christmas at some point in our lives. I wonder where I thought the pony would live. My backyard most certainly would not have been a suitable home! So I think the second best thing to a real pony…would be a pony party! And this purple and pink pony party that Kathryn and Ashleigh put together is quite fabulous!
Please enjoy their Pretty Pony Birthday Party….
Camille wanted a pony party based on a pink and purple cake here in Family Fun. In my search for ideas all I could find was western, cowboy etc pony parties. That’s not what my girly girl four year old wanted. So, the pretty pony party evolved.
The invitation which is not my favorite, but I made with paper and fabric on hand so, bonus.
I looked on the internet for hobby horses to buy, I really did. But, they weren’t pretty. So I met Karen on this video series here and it looked so fun, I officially had a bee in my bonnet to make 12 pretty pony hobby horses.
It’s not that I regret that decision but you should probably start on the project sooner than two days before the party. It will make your husband happier.
The party guests arrived and put on “pony tails.”
Then they chose their pretty pony, they were all a little different and then they chose a pony name like “Buttercup” “Fancy” “Magic Star” etc and we attached their tag.
We went outside with our ponies to play games like “Pony, Pony, Horse” instead of “Duck, Duck, Goose,” “Mother May I” (Mother may I take three pony gallops, two clip clops, one pony leap etc), and then just pranced around like a pretty pony should.
Then the party guest arived at the Pretty Pony Beauty Shop where I had all sorts of little clips, bells, curling ribbon on barrettes, feathers etc out for them to fancy up their pony by decorating their yarn manes. I put out Camille’s pretend makeup kit from Build A Bear, too. I cracked up when the little girl whose mom is a hairdresser actually did a really cute hairdo for her pony.
Then we had our pretty pony cake and presents.
Then the girls went home with their pony and their Adoption Certificate. I had to convince a few of them that they could actually keep their ponies. Apparently I’m not usually that nice.
Making those ponies did almost put me over the edge but considering that was all I had to do for games, activities, and favors, it was worth it. The purple fabric wasn’t my first choice but it fit the budget and the ponies only ended up being about 5 dollars each. I would like to thank the academy… oh, I mean Dave for cutting my dowels, Dad for bringing the circular saw over to my house and helping me score the dowels, my hubby for painting all the dowels pink, my oldest for helping my curl loads of curling ribbon, Ash for making me (I mean encouraging me to) post this party, and my kids for watching me make the yarn manes and telling me they were cool, it helped ease the pain. Happy Birthday little Camille!
You…are…my…hero!!! I cant believe something like this exists on the internet! Its so true, so honest, and more than that you dont sound like an idiot! Finally, someone who knows how to talk about a subject without sounding like a kid who didnt get that bike he wanted for Christmas.

What i do not realize is in reality how you are now not really a lot more smartly-favored than you might be now. You are so intelligent. You already know thus significantly in the case of this matter, made me in my opinion believe it from numerous varied angles. Its like men and women don’t seem to be involved until it is one thing to do with Girl gaga! Your individual stuffs great. Always care for it up!
It’s funny you should write about this because I had been just thinking about it the other day. You’ve expressed my own ideas exactly.
How realistic is it to make money by writing articles or blogging on the internet from home?
Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
