Continue ReadingThe GeekMom Meetup: Waxing Philosophical
When the GeekMoms get to meet in person, it’s a pretty big deal. We call them “meetups” in our group.

I learned that people have been making custom ponies for years now and it got me thinking about making a custom pony of my own. At first, I thought about making an Aayla Secura pony (that turned out to be harder than I thought). Then I had another idea…why should I make a pony for myself, when I have an entire group of great women who would love to share her with me!
