PLOT:

from the Hallmark Channel:

Seth Webster is a frustrated, single father who can’t find a housekeeper to manage his overly energetic twin sons. When a seemingly magical housekeeper arrives at Christmastime, she helps Seth move on after his wife’s death and find new love that brings the family together again.

Seth Webster's heart never healed after he lost his adored wife. Now, with Christmas approaching, wild twin boys to raise alone, a home in chaos, and the latest in a long line of exasperated housekeepers quitting in disgust, Seth needs more than help to keep his family together . . . he needs a miracle.

And then a miracle arrives on his doorstep. Her name is Mrs. Merkle, but the kids call her "Mrs. Miracle"—and from the moment the warm, knowing, and very patient nanny appears, everything is different. Her sassy spirit is infectious, and it gives Seth the courage to approach Reba, a beautiful travel agent who's been hurt and betrayed, and is afraid to ever love again. Through the magic of faith—and with a little help from a children's Christmas pageant and a lot of encouragement from Mrs. Miracle—Seth and Reba might just be able to find a Christmas miracle of their very own: true love.








Movie Review:

Mrs. Miracle, starring Doris Roberts, is fun, sweet, & magical in a Mary Poppins kind of way. Mrs. Merkel, who the children call Mrs. Miracle, is a Nanny, who has come to help widowed Seth Webster with his twin boys - Judd and Jason.

Seth is still privately mourning the loss of his wife - he won't talk about her with his sons and there aren't any pictures of her in their home - yet, Mrs. Miracle finds one and shares it with the boys, who are eager to know more about their mother. This, at first, angers Seth, but he slowly starts to deal with the past - as he opens up his heart to a new love with Reba, a local travel agaent, who is also directing the boys in their Christmas School Play. Reba is also dealing with her past lost love and learning to trust, again. It's fun to see how Mrs. Miracle brings them all together!
