What better way to spend a snowy day than making a carrot casserole and cinnamon applesauce cookies? When the pantry offers no applesauce, it’s up to one filly to make the journey through the snow to get it.

Doing laundry is always a chore, and sometimes I envied my pony neighbor for rarely having to do laundry. Until I found out she wasn't allowed to wash her blankets.

It’s an unfair rule and shouldn’t apply to ponies, but the laundromat clerk won’t budge. A creative solution is required.

Back in Equestria, the spring equinox is a hard line, the last day of snow, winter is over, full stop.

On Earth, that’s not exactly the case. The equinox might have come and gone, the clocks might have been set to a summer schedule, it might be April and still snowing in Missouri.

Saturday was a day to unwind, a day to sleep late, to eat brunch instead of breakfast, go out to the lake, or to invite friends over for a barbeque. Unless the lawnmower was broken and Ms. Bundermann is on the prowl.

Having a unicorn friend doesn’t help fix the lawnmower, but friends of friends can make short work of the lawn. It’s technically not a barbeque if the grill isn’t on, but with a whole herd of ponies nomming the grass and musicals on the boombox, with a selection of drinks to suit everypony’s taste, it’s close enough.

Living with a Kirin is actually not that weird. There are language difficulties and cultural differences, but snuggling is universal.

For a filly, a trip to Vanhoover brings with it the promise of visiting a toy store, museums, and a hotel room five stories up.

Sea Swirl would never had imagined the voyage there would make her fall in love with the water and what lies beneath.

Working at the front desk of a hotel has numbed Kaia to the variety of guests, at least until the ponies arrive.

Streaming video games online is a good way for a pony to earn extra bits—literally, in the case of Twitch. Not to mention making new friends online . . . as long as Shiroi can remember to follow human rules, something which doesn’t always come naturally to an au naturel pony.

Rule 9i can be a real bummer.

One thing ponies lack in Equestria is Taco Bells. With enough hard work from enough ponies, that can change.

Negotiations and raising capital are one way to get an official franchise. Alternately, there’s the Glen Bell method: learn how it’s done, then copy it. Get ponies into every level of production, from the tomato fields to the restaurants, find out who supplies the machines and buy their own.

Is it ethical? That’s a grey area, but it might be the only chance to save 7-Layer Burritos.

When a patient is badly injured or in a remote location, the Great North Air Ambulance is there to provide assistance.

Sky Sweeper isn't a paramedic yet, but she's learning, and rides out with the crews.

Trigger warning: contains injuries.
