❤️ Nicely's Heartstrings Attached is clean, and so lovely! UP TV should consider picking it up. -Maria

❤️ Heartstrings Attached - I had the chance to stream this movie early, and I found it to be very sweet. While some of the acting wasn't so great, at times, the story itself is heartfelt and meaningful. I even got misty-eyed at the end; it was genuinely touching. Best of all, it’s completely family-friendly. ~Net

Reviews:

🐎 “Crossroad Springs” is such a heartwarming look at life on a family ranch. You really feel the love, hard work, and sense of community. It was comforting to watch the characters face challenges and lean on each other. Episode one does a wonderful job of introducing us to the Hamilton family, those in their community, and their neighbor/rival, Daniel Newman. (By the way, Jesse Hutch plays the character very well!) I loved all of the little touches of faith, and I’m looking forward to the next episode! -Net

🐎 We’ve really been enjoying Crossroad Springs. Great family show and focus on faith. Need more of this these days. Thank you for letting us know about the repeat airings Wednesday night. I’ve been wanting to tell others to watch. Robert

🐎 Crossroad springs is beautiful! –Maria

🐎 Crossroads Springs has an enjoyable storyline that may prove to be a wonderful series. Jesse Hutch is great. -Gabe’s Mom

🐎 Watched the first episode of Crossroad Springs. Was a little hard to follow at first but it gets better as the story evolves. Can't wait to see what Daniel Newman (Jesse Hutch) is up to. Don't like him playing the bad guy, but you're right Net...he does an excellent job in the role! This is going to be a great series and the best part, we don't have to worry about the content! ~ Joyce in Carolina

🐎 We liked Crossroad Springs. Great show, so far. Christie

🐎 Crossroad Springs is the best ever!!!
Kudos to the WRITERS and CASTING Director. Coming from a ranching family, this show nailed every issues that we encounter at most times. ~Anonymous

🐎 This episode of Crossroad Springs hit all the right notes! Loved every minute, and did not want it to end. ~Anonymous

Grounded in Love

Premiere Date: September 27, 2025

Starring: Danica McKellar and Trevor Donovan

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 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.

Movie Review:

❤️ 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

Ainsley McGregor Mysteries: A Case For The Yarn Maker

Premiere Date: October 4, 2025

Starring: Candace Cameron Bure, Aaron Ashmore, and Robin Dunne

Storyline: Former criminologist Ainsley McGregor invites renowned yarn maker and company founder, Ellie Mitchem, to speak at her craft store when she is found dead just moments before her speech. Amidst the drama surrounding family inheritance and succession of the company’s head position, Ainsley and the book club lead the charge in solving the mystery of Ellie Mitchem’s murder.

Movie Review:

🔎 Ainsley McGregor Mysteries: A Case For The Yarn Maker - this is a delightful, cozy mystery with heart, humor, and charm. It definitely left me wanting more!

If you also love heartwarming mysteries with a strong female lead, a little romance, good friends, an adorable dog, and a charming small-town backdrop, then this mystery is for you! ~Net
(If you'd like to my extended review, click here!)

🔎 Ainsley McGregor Mysteries: A Case For The Yarn Maker - I am a CCB fan and have enjoyed her movies for years. The Ainsley McGregor Mysteries are a delight to watch with great stories and a wonderful supporting cast. My only cringe is the fireman. He is written like a jokester 14 year old boy- no offense to 14 year old boys. Ainsley is a strong character and should have a solid, strong male counterpart. If they are introducing romance between the characters I would like to see a man that supports her work and encourages growth in her career. He just appears to be there and doesn’t add to the story. It does not deter me from a good series. I can’t wait till the next installment in the series. - Gabe’s Mom

🔎 Ainsley McGregor Mysteries: A Case For The Yarn Maker - My husband and I enjoyed this mystery. It's fun to try to figure out who the bad guy is. This mystery was fun and worth watching. ~Anonymous

🔎 Ainsley McGregor Mysteries: A Case For The Yarn Maker - Loved it! This is going to be a really good series! i have to admit I just watched the first one too. Both great! Was so good to see a lot of familiar faces! The plot kept me guessing till almost to the end of who the killer was. Lots of twist and turns in this one! ~Joyce in Carolina

🔎 Ainsley McGregor Mysteries: A Case For The Yarn Maker - The second Ainsley mystery was good, but didn’t measure up to the first one. It was very corny, for one thing. I didn’t like how they’ve already missed out on some continuing characters. They did bring a few along, but not all of them. It was disappointing. Hello?! What happened to the best friend? She could’ve at least made a couple appearances. They also didn’t continue Candace’s quirky grandma sayings. Unless that’s where the corny stuff came in with the chief this movie. It didn’t equal. They’ve also already got new locations. Like we wouldn’t notice. ;) Oh well. Still good to have a clean mystery to watch! Thanks for that, GAF! -Anonymous1

🔎 Ainsley McGregor Mysteries: A Case For The Yarn Maker - I just watched the second Ainsley McGregor Mystery. I liked it better than the first one. The relationship with the three main cast was better, but there’s so much cheesiness throughout. I thought it was a poor plot too. A famous knitter, with only 20 people waiting for her. And the filming seemed off to me and my family as well. At least it was clean, and something new is always nice. ~Abigail

I hope you all will enjoy "Crossroad Springs," Grounded in Love, and Ainsley McGregor Mysteries: A Case For The Yarn Maker.

I'm looking forward to hearing everyone's thoughts on the series as it progresses.

I've also included my review of Grounded in Love and Ainsley McGregor Mysteries: A Case For The Yarn Maker above.

Christmas Cheer & Mystery Premiere: Great American Family Releases New Christmas Promo and Ainsley McGregor Date

Happy Saturday, everyone!

Hope you're all enjoying a fantastic weekend so far! Just popping in to share two exciting new promos from Great American Family today!

The first promotion below is for A Christmas List of Blessings, starring Shae Robins and Christopher Russell, which of course, is premiering this upcoming Christmas season on Great American Family.

Storyline via Great American Media:
In A Christmas List of Blessings, Natalie (Robins), a children’s book illustrator struggling with creative burnout, finds unexpected inspiration when she comes across a little girl’s Christmas gift list. Unlike other children’s Christmas lists, Caroline writes her list of heartfelt prayers to Jesus, requesting blessings for her family, friends, and community – including one to ask that her recently widowed dad (Russell) will find happiness again. Touched by Caroline’s list, Natalie begins to secretly fulfill each blessing. In turn, she is inspired to create a new character, Adeline the Angel, to illustrate the ways Jesus quietly works through everyday people to answer prayers with love and grace.

Candace Cameron Bure Reveals Mystery and Christmas Movie News

Fresh off finishing her latest film, Candace Cameron Bure shared some exciting movie updates while on a flight traveling back home!

Mid-flight, Candace invited her Instagram followers to submit various questions, and here are two that I found particularly intriguing for us movie fans...


First question:

Q: "When is the new mystery movie coming out"

A: Soon! I think next month 😊(with a party face emoji)




Next question:

Q: I love your movies. Will you make more Christmas movies this year?

A: Yes! I just finished filming a new Christmas movie and going to film a second one for 2025 next month!

The new mystery movie being referred to in the first question is "Ainsley McGregor Mysteries: A Case for the Yarn Maker." Hopefully, we will get to see this movie in May, as Candace shared.

Here's the promo Great American Family released for this all-new mystery...




As I've mentioned before, another mystery in the "Ainsley McGregor Mysteries" franchise was filmed in late February and early March, titled "Ainsley Mcgregor Mysteries: A Case For The Watchmaker." Aaron Ashmore and Robin Dunne are back for this movie, as well.

As for the Christmas movie Candace just wrapped, I believe I know the title, but I am awaiting confirmation before sharing. Also, I haven't seen/heard any clues as to who her opposite could be? Do you all have any ideas/guesses?

It has already been announced that Candace and Cameron Mathison are doing a sequel movie to "Home Sweet Christmas," so I presume that is the movie she is filming next month.

Also, this Sunday, April 6th, is Candace's Birthday! Visit my weekend post to see the Candace movies airing this Saturday and Sunday, including a marathon!

Blessings to you all!

One of the questions was one I was going to ask...

"When is the next Ainsley coming out?"

Candace responded, "Very soon!! Spring

So, that likely means April or May! (on Great American Family, of course!)

Here's a screengrab of the exchange from Candace's IG stories:

Also, there was a story going around social media recently that President Trump had appointed Candace Cameron Bure to be in charge of programming at PBS. I knew as soon as I read it that it must be a joke someone was putting out, but unfortunately, there were many people online who believed it to be true.

One person asked, 

"Are you so excited for your new job 

working for the President? So thrilled!"

Candace responded with, 

"Being director of programming for PBS 

would be great, but this is FAKE NEWS"

Here's a screengrab of that:

And lastly, something else that might also be of interest to those of you here...

Someone asked, 

"Do you still have your clothing line. It was super cute!!"

Candace replied, 

"I don't 😢. I loved my clothing line so much. 

And while it was incredibly successful on QVC, 

I had to make some hard decisions to best support what was right for me. 

I do hope to bring it back, possibly with a new distributor 

or even back to QVC in the future. 

I'm in continued prayer over it, 

waiting for God to open the right doors."

So... I hope you enjoyed this exciting news from Candace! I'm looking forward to this upcoming mystery premiere... "Ainsley McGregor Mysteries: A Case for the Yarn Maker."

A third movie in this mystery series is also in the post-production phase, "Ainsley McGregor Mysteries: A Case for the Watchmaker." Stay tuned for more movie updates!

Also, be sure to tune in this Thursday, March 6th, to the MovieGuide Awards airing on Great American Family. Candace will be there, along with other stars from Great American Family, such as: Cameron Mathison, Jen Lilley, Mario Lopez, Jesse Hutch, Cindy Busby, and more!

Blessings on your day,
