πŸŽ„ Hallmark Announces 3 NEW *Christmas in July* Movies!!! πŸŽ… ⛄⇨⇨



If you watched Hallmark movies over Memorial Day weekend, then most likely you saw Hallmark's new Christmas in July promo, which plugs THREE All New *Christmas in July* movies! This is the most NEW content we've seen in July on Hallmark for quite some time.

In the new commercial, we see Tori Anderson (Return to Christmas Creek) and Corbin Bleu (Love, For Real) in an outdoor setting, with all sorts of activities decked out with Christmas dΓ©cor and of course, a campfire, too. Hence the movie title, Campfire Christmas!


Even though the new Hallmark Christmas in July commercial proclaims 3 all new movies, we only see the one, Campfire Christmas. Of course, we already know about My Grown-Up Christmas List, starring Kevin McGarry and Kayla Wallace, which was also announced via commercial, during the When Calls the Heart Season 9 Finale.

So... that leaves one more new Christmas movie to fill the slot, which is currently a mystery! Stay tuned for details.

πŸŽ„ May your day be Merry & Bright! Net πŸŽ„

The latest Reviews are in... Rip in Time, Romance to the Rescue, When Calls the Heart and more!



Thought I would share today some of the great reviews that have come in this week for last weekend's new movies and more!

Thank you to everyone who contributed a review... Anonymous, Maria, melnewlife, Abigail, Jim, Gabe's mom, Denise, Karen, Namegirl and Clara.


🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟




Romance to the Rescue:

❤ "Romance to the Rescue in the first 10 minutes has a guy talking to the main character about the other guys he dates." -Anonymous

 (sighs). "When I saw the movie's description, and it's trailer, I immediately thought 'Clone of A Tail of love'. Sad to see that I was pretty much right, right down to the 'gay reveal very early in the movie' part." :( -Maria

*See more details, images, and any future reviews for Romance to Rescue - here!


🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟





Rip in Time:

 "I just watched Rip in Time, and it is mostly family friendly. I only say "mostly" because in one scene Sarah tells Rip about Henry's father and refers to him as a "baby daddy." She explains that they were never married and that it is "very common nowadays." So parents may want to be aware of that. Rip does express disgust, however, that any man would leave a woman who is with child. Overall, I loved this movie though! From the commercials, I was afraid it might be cheesy or silly, but it wasn't. Niall Matter was so dashing as a gentleman from a bygone era, and he had great chemistry with DeVitto. It was also funny in all the right places.A new favorite for me!" ~melnewlife

 "Rip in Time.... I did kinda enjoy this film and it was family friendly. No same sex issues, I mean. I've always had a fancy to time-travel themed books/movies. I loved the kind gentleman he was and his acting was great. I didn't like the kiss in the rain. Seemed too sensual. I wouldn't want my younger siblings to see that. I also did not appreciate the scene when she tells Rip she was never married before she had a baby and never intended to. I know that's the way our sinfull world is now, but it's hard to see them embrace that willingly. For these serious reasons I will not watch again." ~Abigail

*See more details, images, and any future reviews for Rip in Time - here!


🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟





Harmony in Paradise:

❤ "Harmony in Paradise is family friendly. (I watched an early screening) It’s a story about a writer who steps out of her comfort zone. (it kind of gave me a Love on the Slopes feel) Amelia Dey usually writes her travel stories at home, but this time her boss sends her to Puerto Rico to write about the release of the manatees, who were rescued after the hurricane. She not only puts her notebook down and finds adventure, but she may also discover love. The scenery, by the way, is gorgeous! There are some cheesy moments, and I’m not sure I felt a major connection between the leads, but all the characters were mostly likable. It was nice how everyone was so kind and welcoming to Amelia. This was an okay one time watch for me." ~Net

❤ "Harmony in Paradise was very nice!" -Maria

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟





Heartland Season 15:

❤ "Just a heads up, there is a same sex relationship in this season. I had suspicions last season, and it is definitely mentioned this season. It’s not a major storyline, but so sad it was introduced." ~ Anonymous


❤ "I pre-screened the second episode and it is mostly family-friendly. There is one very brief comment with Lou's assistant about a man adopting children with another man; I believe the name mentioned was Carl. The comment was so quick, I nearly missed it. Otherwise, it was a typical heartwarming episode of Heartland. I enjoyed the story of the missing wild stallion and the search for him with Amy, Sam, and Tim." ~Net


🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟





When Calls the Heart - Season 9 Finale:

SPOILER ALERT: Some of the reviews below contain spoilers from the season finale.

❤ "As for the season finale of "When Calls the Heart," I thought it was a lovely, heartwarming way to end this 9th season. My TWO absolute favorite moments were Henry praying with Joseph and Rosemary telling Lee about the baby! For once, Lee was even more expressive than Rosemary! What a wonderful, memorable moment! One couldn't help from feeling pure joy in Lee finding out he is going to be a father. And Henry getting down on his knees to pray with Joseph in his jail cell was such an impactful moment, as well as Florence's whispered apology and sweet kiss on the cheek. My heart broke for Henry when he said he didn't know how to pray. Tears filled my eyes. The subtle way Henry's character has developed through the years has been beautiful to see. His future was definitely left with great uncertainty. In fact, there were many questions left unanswered with Bill, Molly, Nathan, Faith, and Mei. Hoping for a Season 10!" ~Net

❤ "I was having a terrible night. Then I watched this beautiful finale, and it really helped. :) I'm so glad they're engaged!" -Maria

❤ "I was a bit harsh on my observations of Season 9 in another thread. I find that when I let my intellect take too much control I over think and analyze too much. When I just let my heart see the beauty and wonder of things, in this case WCTH, I am whisked away into the magic of God's love and presence shown through his creation and creatures. I loved the WCTH finale. I didn't analyze. My heart just SAW!! It was wonderful." ~Jim

❤ "Wow! What an heartfelt special episode!!! It was wonderful and precious!❤️ I balled my eyes out when Henry said he didn’t know how to pray, and then he gets down on his knees. I couldn’t help praying for the actors during the scene for salvation. If they only knew the important words they were saying. When Rosemary told Lee he was going to be a father, I cried, laughed, and practically bouncing on my bed. What a sweet scene. Probably the sweetest I’ve ever seen. Better than I could have imagined. Good job John Tinker!!! And when she felt the flutters....awwww! And the proposal scene was so precious. I cried when baby Jack hands the ring to Elizabeth and when Lucas asks to be Jack’s father. What a wonderful end to the season. Hoping for a Season 10! And when Lucas said he was the richest man, I cried some more. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚" ~Abigail

❤ "Net- Your comment about Joseph praying with Henry was spot on. During these troubled times for such a powerful scene to occur on a much-watched program is certainly a message to everyone. PRAY! It is a wonderful series that I hope will be continued. Take care." Gabe’s Mom

❤ "I enjoyed the finale. I'm looking forward to the Christmas movie, too." ~denise

❤ "I agree with you about Henry's storyline. I cried when he Joseph brought Henry the Bible and Henry wanted to learn how to pray. It has been great to see the change in Henry over the seasons! Of course it was very funny when Nathan realized he didn't know where Henry so he went to the jail and in comes Henry with a newspaper and puts himself back in the jail cell. Lee's reaction to the pregnancy was also fabulous!" ~Karen

❤ "Abigail I wholeheartedly agree with your comment. Chris McNally and the little actor who plays Jack are a joy to see. I also get the feeling that several responses by little Jack are not scripted. Lots of connection between the two buddies. I teared up when Lucas asked if he could be Jack's father. The jail scene with Joseph and Henry made me cry. I truly believe that Henry's charachter felt godly sorrow. Lee running around elated & in his p.j.s was so cool and brought me joy. Apparently Mei Tsu was cleared of wrong-doing, so Nathan and Mei have a chance to biuld a relationship. As Faith said, she wasn't ready to get married. I hope that Bill gets well because he's a much needed character." ~Namegirl

❤ "The season finale of WCTH was awesome. So many of the scenes mentioned before were some of my favorites also. I had debated all season about quitting watching after the Season 8 debacle but the finale redeemed the show in my mind and eyes. Glad I stuck with the show. Hope they have more of that caliber show." ~Clara

❤ "I feel that if WCTH is not renewed it ended in a good way so I’ll be happy one way or the other!" ~Anonymous

Praying for the Families in Texas...


Dear Friends,

I had a post previously scheduled for today to celebrate the 25th of May and 7 months 'til Christmas as we countdown to Christmas, but I decided to delay that until tomorrow.

Today I wanted to share that my heart and prayers are going out to the victims' families and friends in Uvalde, Texas. The news is absolutely heartbreaking. I know many of you here are also praying earnestly, as well, for the Lord to comfort those who are hurting.

Whether you're the parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, sibling, etc... to young children, I'm sure we'll all be holding our little ones even closer. Life is, indeed, so precious. And children are so innocent. This is a reminder that sadly we live in a sinful word and we must cling tightly to our faith and hope in Jesus. In the midst of darkness, He is the light.

Take care, everyone...
God bless you all, Net

NEW Hallmark πŸŽ„CHRISTMAS IN JULYπŸŽ„ Movie "My Grown-Up Christmas List" + My Thoughts on the Season Finale of When Calls the Heart Season 9... πŸ’•




During the season finale of "When Calls the Heart," a new Christmas in July movie was announced for the Hallmark Channel titled: "My Grown Up Christmas List" and will star two "When Calls the Heart" actors: Kevin McGarry ("The Wedding Veil") and Kayla Wallace ("Feeling Butterflies")! The movie is scheduled to premiere Saturday, July 16, 2022! Kevin and Kayla make such a cute couple in real-life and on screen. The two previously starred in "Feeling Butterflies" on the Hallmark Channel together.


Kayla Wallace shared the image above from the movie on their last day of filming back in December. For some reason, I had a hunch this might be a Christmas in July possibility, and I'm excited to see a new Christmas movie in the middle of July! Hope it ends up being a fun one. A 15 second preview was shown (pictures screen-grabbed in top images above), highlighting both Kevin McGarry and Kayla Wallace in the movie. Kevin is shown wearing military fatigues in the promo, so it looks like this will be a patriotic movie, as well. Too bad it's not premiering before the 4th of July.



As for the season finale of "When Calls the Heart," I thought it was a lovely, heartwarming way end to this 9th season. 

(SPOILERS AHEAD - if you haven't seen it, yet) 

My TWO absolute favorite moments were Henry praying with Joseph and Rosemary telling Lee about the baby! For once, Lee was even more expressive than Rosemary! What a wonderful, memorable moment! One couldn't help from feeling pure joy in Lee finding out he is going to be a father. And Henry getting down on his knees to pray with Joseph in his jail cell was such an impactful moment, as well as Florence's whispered apology and sweet kiss on the cheek. My heart broke for Henry when he said he didn't know how to pray. Tears filled my eyes. The subtle way Henry's character has developed through the years has been beautiful to see. His future was definitely left with great uncertainty. In fact, there were many questions left unanswered with Bill, Molly, Nathan, Faith, and Mei.

Will there be a Season 10? A big announcement, I hear, is coming today! So... let's hope for more stories in Hope Valley! Stay tuned!

Blessings on your day, Net

Wow! What a busy weekend for TV! We certainly have a lot of new and great classic content to choose from this Saturday and Sunday. At the top of my list for the classics are: the Signed, Sealed, Delivered marathon and the GAC Family movie marathon! I will do my best to catch the best of both.

As for the new...., I'm sure I won't be able to catch everything, but I'll most definitely be watching the When Calls the Heart season 9 finale! For me, personally, that is a must-see! So many potential stories have been teased; I can't wait to finally see how everything comes full circle in the finale... for Rosemary, Lee, Elizabeth, Lucas, Nathan, Faith, Bill, Joseph, Minnie, Henry and well... every one in Hope Valley! Plus, I'm wondering if we will hear news on a Season 10 or maybe, even a movie to finish it off? My heart tells me they may go for, at least, one more season, but who knows? I am eagerly longing to find out!

Be sure to share in comments below what you'll be watching this weekend - or what you are longing to see!

Please note: I have not pre-screened the new movies airing this weekend. If you'd like to leave a review, please share in comments.

Have a blessed weekend, everyone! Net

SHARING HIS LOVE:

and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight."

Heartland Season 15 Premiere on UPtv - TONIGHT!




Heartland
Season 15 Premieres in the US
on Thursday, May 19, 2022
at 8pm/7c. on UPtv

I was able to screen the first episode of Season 15, and I can tell you it is a heartwarming, family-friendly start to a whole new season. The episode begins with the patriarch, Grandpa Jack, looking over his land and herd of cattle. I thought this was a strong introduction, with an incredible view of the beautiful Heartland ranch.



Amy's daughter, Lyndy, who somehow looks just like a little Amy, has a special role in this episode, as she's working on a sweet surprise for her mama's birthday and going to school (sort-of) for the first time. I was impressed at how well she said her lines at such a young age.



Unfortunately, we don't see Lou and Peter's daughter's Georgie or Katie in this episode. In fact, Georgie does not appear in this season, at all, and Katie (not sure why) is played by a new actress.



I won't spoil any of the storylines, but we do see Lou in season 15, as she's still working through her love issues and her father, Tim, who returns from his trip with a major surprise. Plus, there is, of course, a special horse with ties to the past, who needs Amy's special attention.

UPDATE: I received this comment regarding Heartland and I wanted to make you all aware: "Just a heads up, there is a same sex relationship in this season. I had suspicions last season, and it is definitely mentioned this season. It’s not a major storyline, but so sad it was introduced." (Thank you, Anonymous, for letting us know.) I wanted to be certain everyone here knew about this - so you can choose if you will watch more of Season 15.


Happy trails to all of you, Net
