Ice Girls featuring renowned skating stars Elvis Stojko and Tessa Virtue Available on DVD #WatchItTonight

Our local youth council is always looking for movies for tweens and teens and I think I've found a pretty good one.

Ice Girls is an inspiring story of a true underdog, featuring renowned skating stars Elvis Stojko and Tessa Virtue. After watching the DVD myself, I figured the movie is definitely something the kids will be able to relate to.

Fifteen-year-old aspiring figure skating champion Mattie Dane is forced to put her dreams on ice after a bad fall during a tournament — and her mother’s decision to relocate the family to a new town. But a chance encounter with the owner of a local skating rink ultimately rekindles Mattie’s passion to compete and sets up an intense rivalry with a talented classmate who’ll stop at nothing to win.

Being a teen is tough and coupling that with moving and having to make new friends, well, it's something I experienced as a kid. It was tough at first but I managed to make new friends. Watching Ice Girls reminded me of some of those feelings I felt as a kid and how easy it was to make new friends once I opened up.

Overall a good movie.

Featuring legendary skating stars Elvis Stojko and Tessa Virtue, Ice Girls is an uplifting underdog tale that will leave you cheering!

Life is a Beach Giveaway Hop

Spring is in full swing. The birds are singin'. The pollen is falling and temps are FINALLY warming up. So what better time time to start planning our Summer getaways. This year - as always - we are beach bound. It's one of our fave places to visit given we only get to the beach once or twice a year. Last year's visit to Cozumel was one for the record books. We stopped by this little restaurant and dined on grilled shrimp in a cabana right on the beach. 'Ohana also has a line of tequilas in flavors I had never seen before. Tropical flavors such as coconut, mango and pina colada. Hubby and I tried the 'Ohana peanut butter tequila. The owner said folks either love it or hate it... we LOVED it!!! As I was sipping all I could think of was how good this peanut butter tequila would taste as a baste on my tequila wings. It would be like a tequila satay wings type dish. * * * G I V E A W A Y * * * One lucky Three ...

Here’s your chance to start the new year off with a win. One lucky Three Boys and an Old Lady blog reader will receive a $15 Walmart eGift card. $10 may not seem like a lot but it’s enough to stock up on some last minute Christmas clearance gifts.

The regular price is $10 so to find them on sale for 50 cents was a deal. We cleared the shelves. A few rows down we spotted some anima...
