Hi Everyone,
I am not good at introductions, but I'll do my best . I am a married, (almost) 21 year old mother (bday is 01/16) of a 9.5 month old daughter. I collected MLPs when I was little & still have them stored in a Rubbermaid box that I plan on digging out sometime soon. After giving birth to my daughter back in early March, I decided I wanted to start a collection for her.

Since my daughter's first birthday is coming up quick, I started planning it out & decided to do a MLP theme. Then it hit me, that THAT'S what I should start her collection on and I could add my vantage ponies. ...That's how I ended up here.

Right now our collection is small, but slowly growing. I came here in hopes of meeting new friends, educating myself again on MLP, making our collection grow & hopefully over time buying, selling and trading.

We are on a budget, so buying ponies isnt always easy... but hopefully over time I can get our daughter a nice collection going.

Congrats on your daughter! I'm expecting in June and *looks around* I'm hoping for a girl (shhhh...hubby probably wants a boy ;))

That's such a great idea for a first birthday! I hope she falls in love with the ponies like her mom

Have fun and I hope you enjoy being part of the community!

Hi MarchMommy welcome to the arena. I started out collecting ponies for my daughter as well and got hooked. Now I collect for both of us. You are going to like it here.

Thank you all so much!!

It's kind of funny... I am already getting myself hooked too! So, I think my daughter's collection is going to turn into OUR collection!

I think it's wonderful that you are collecting for your daughter. No doubt as she gets older she will love having such fabulous toys that were so carefully picked for her.
