film you can take the kids to and feel
good about it. No complicated story line
(Narnia comes to mind), no
violent epic battles with scary-face
villains, and no sorcery. Instead, we

mammals, full of wit and humor, on their
way to find a safe haven from the
impending Ice Age meltdown. |

this as fundamentally about fair play. |

Love of grandmoms brought pair together as entrepreneuers
|
Call it fate, serendipity or karma, but some benevolent force of the universe had a delightful surprise in mind for East Valley entrepreneurs Marcia McGovern and Theresa Snider.
For starters, their paths recently crossed as friends and former business partners. Sweetening the reunion was the fact that both started businesses inspired from a love of their grandmothers. For both, these gentle and devoted women provided the foundation for their current flourishing businesses.
