Storyline: Annie (McKellar), a spirited, Manhattan-based flight attendant, thrives on adventure and freedom, until an unexpected airline merger grounds her career and a breakup with a self-absorbed boyfriend leaves her questioning everything. Searching for clarity, Annie takes a road trip to her grandmother’s rural Kentucky farm – a place she hasn’t visited in years, though it holds close to her heart. Nothing on the farm seems to have changed, except Jake (Donovan), Annie’s childhood friend, who recently traded in fast-paced city life for something more intentional. As two old friends reconnect, Annie rediscovers what matters most – family, faith, community, and the kind of love that stays rooted when everything else seems uncertain.

Reviews:
❤️ There’s a certain comfort in stories that feel like home, and for me this one carries that special endearing warmth, especially with its beautiful country setting.
Plus, no matter where you live, “Grounded in Love” has that familiar, feel-good story we movie lovers know all too well... Danica McKellar’s character Annie returns to her hometown after losing her job, she reconnects with her roots, and inevitably crosses paths with her special high school friend, Jake (Trevor Donovan), the one who essentially got away. And no spoilers included, but from there you likely know (as Paul Harvey used to say)… the rest of the story.
However, this movie is much more than just a typical romance. Along the way, Annie deepens her bond with her warm, spirited grandmother, uncovers the rich history of the family farm she once thought she’d leave behind forever, and best of all, she gradually rekindles her faith and trust in God.
The Kentucky farm setting is simply gorgeous on screen- rolling fields, golden sunsets, and a peaceful charm. The colorful Fall leaves in the background really make it a perfect Autumn movie.
While Annie and Jake’s love story is very sweet, it’s the themes of family, community, heritage, and faith that give the movie real heart. At the end, I found myself wishing it had gone on just a little longer. “Grounded in Love” is a wholesome, family-friendly watch I’d happily recommend. ~Net
❤️ I watched "Grounded in Love" on pureflix...and it is my FAVORITE movie that Danica and Trevor have done yet! The scenery was breathtaking, and I just loved these two together. I love that it wasn't a typical romance story, this was about Danica's character finding herself again and finding what matters most. ~Sarah
Note: "Grounded in Love" encores 3 times on Sunday at 4am / 11am / and 8pm EST!

I hope you’re able to enjoy some relaxing time this weekend with one (or both!) of the new movies, along with the latest episode of "Crossroad Springs." I had the chance to stream the episode on PureFlix last night, and it’s another heartwarming story you won’t want to miss. I look forward to hearing what you all think of it, too!
Also, I’ve already watched "Grounded in Love", and if you haven’t seen it yet, you can read both Sarah’s and my review above. It's a wonderful mix of Faith, Farm, and Fall!
Please note: I haven’t pre-screened "Adventures in Love & Birding", so if you'd like to share your thoughts after it airs, please do so in comments below. And please feel free to share your opinion of "Grounded in Love" and "Crossroad Springs.", too.
Have a Blessed

"A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."
