My Little Pony review
It is time a reveal another small truth about myself. I am My Little Pony obsessed! I kept all my ponies from the 1980's and from time to time I pull them out and let me kids play with them. As most of you know I have boys 2 amazing little boys.
I thought for sure my love of My Little Pony would never pass on to them. Boy was I wrong! My BOYS loves the ponies and even though they are considered a "girl" item, it doesn't stop them from watching the show and even owning a few My Little Pony toys!
I'm not one of those people who think girls should stick to girl things and boys to boy things. I love that my kids do what makes them happy and that they enjoy things outside the "clique" boy theme.
With that being said I recently reached out to Shout! Factory and asked if I could please review My Little Pony dvds I was a bit nervous thinking they would say no since I only have boys.... And again I was wrong! They sent me 2 DVDs for review and my little guys couldn't be more excited.

My review:
As I said I LOVED the vintage ponies. I grew up with names like Megan, Spike, Lickety Split and Firefly. With terms such as Teeny Tinys and sea ponies. I remember when there was a mail order pony and I would desperately run after my mom to the mail box just hopping my new pony arrived! I remember watching the shows and crying during the episode when the ponies lost their shadows.
Even though My Little Pony look different and have a different set of characters the main message is still there. FRIENDSHIP! No matter what generation of ponies you are watching you can always count on them delivering the message of being a good friend and working together.
As a mom I love that the show is good and wholesome. They teach kids about right and wrong. I love when Quinn watches an episode and afterwards tells me how Twilight Sparkle helped her friends or tells me that Apple Bloom and her friends are still working together to get their marks.
And yes of course I watch with them and each episode proves that with the power of friendship anything is possible.
My Little Pony is a great show for everyone; boys, girls and even 27 year old moms :)
