SHINING HIS LIGHT:

As the evenings grow darker and the pace of the year begins to slow, I’m reminded of the comforting words from the Psalms...

“Thy word is a lamp to my feet 

and a light unto my path.”

God’s Word lights our way through every season!

At my house this weekend, it's probably going to be a mix of movies and basketball. We'll see which one wins out. It'll will probably depend on which teams play Saturday and Sunday and how the bracket breaks down. Of course, Sunday is always first and foremost, a day of worship for us, as well.

Whatever you watch or do, I hope you all have a great weekend planned. It's going to be a cold one for us, with possibly some snow flurries. Who knows, I may end up watching another Christmas movie I have recorded!

However, I'm also looking forward to the First Day of Spring on Monday, March 20th! I love that UPtv is airing inspirational *Bring the Spring* programming leading up until Easter Sunday!

Please note: I haven't pre-screened the NEW movies listed above. If you'd like to post a review on whether a film is family-friendly, please share in comments.

I hope you all have a wonderful Mid-March weekend!

Blessings,

🎂 Happy Birthday, Candace Cameron Bure! 🔎 Sleuthers, Can YOU Solve this "Aurora Teagarden" Mystery? 🔎 👀 SEE HERE:

I thought this would be a fun post, in honor of Candace Cameron Bure's birthday today on April 6th! This is a little "Aurora Teagarden" mystery - I recently discovered... 🔎

When "Aurora Teagarden: Haunted by Murder" first premiered Sunday night, February 20, 2022, on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, Hallmark released the poster seen above, which features Candace Cameron Bure (as librarian, Aurora Teagarden) and Niall Matter (as college professor, Nick Miller). The newly married couple is featured up close in the foreground, side by side, with Nick shining a flashlight, while the mystifying haunted house appears ominously in the background with a shadowy figure standing in one of the upstairs windows. The caption on the poster reads, "Every home has it secrets."

I noticed a few weeks ago, while I was looking at other movie images, that Hallmark updated the previous key art for "Aurora Teagarden: Haunted by Murder" with a new poster that features Candace Cameron Bure (Aurora "Roe" Teagarden), Lexa Doig (Aurora's best friend, Sally), and their real-life daughters, Natasha Bure and Mia Shanks (who portrayed the teen versions of Roe and Sally in this movie). The haunted house remains in the shadows in the background; however, you'll notice there is a new caption: "As a teen, she witnessed a crime. As an adult, she's returned to solve it." See the new poster below...

So... What do you think? Do you like the original key art with Aurora and Nick or do you prefer the new poster with Aurora, Sally, and their teen versions?

My take...

Although I feel rather bad for Niall being removed from the original key art, I personally prefer the new poster best. By the way, Niall has been featured on 7 previous posters! This is the first time, however, Sally has appeared on one of the "Aurora" posters, and I think it's been a long time coming, especially since actress Lexa Doig has been with the "Aurora Teagarden" series since the very beginning as Roe's bestie and co-conspirator in sleuthing, even if she's a little unwilling, at times, due to being squeamish! It's also fun to see Candace and Lexa's daughters featured on this new cover with them, since the key part of this film was looking back to their past.

I'll be curious to see what image they use if they release this movie individually on DVD. I would love to know your thoughts on the posters, as well! Please share your pick in comments below.

🎂 Happy Birthday, Candace! 🎂

It's disappointing we won't have the kitten bowl this Sunday on the Hallmark Channel, which used to be an annual tradition on the day of the Super Bowl. However, you can still see the Puppy Bowl on Discovery+ and Animal Planet, which includes a halftime show with cats!

UPDATE: Variety.com is exclusively reporting today-
"The Kitten Bowl, once a Hallmark Channel staple, has officially moved to GAC Media, Variety can exclusively reveal. The new special, set to premiere on Sunday, Feb. 12, 2023, will be titled “Great American Rescue Bowl.”

So... we can look forward to the kitties returning next year, along with cats, puppies and dogs, on GAC! As a cat and dog lover myself, I'm so happy to hear this news. Bill Abbott, the CEO of GAC Media, has been such a champion for finding homes for orphaned animals. I'm so glad these cats (and dogs, too!) have found a new home on GAC Family!

I hope you all have a lovely, relaxing weekend. Always remember... God loves you with an everlasting love. Praise God for His unfailing love!

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!

Blessings to You All!

Candace Cameron Bure & daughter, Natasha, Star Together in NEW "Aurora Teagarden" Movie! 🔎

There is some extra fun news newly released from the next installment of the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries' mystery series "Aurora Teagarden!" Candace Cameron Bure (who stars as Aurora Teagarden Miller, the sleuthing librarian) and her real-life daughter, Natasha, are starring together in the all new "Aurora Teagarden Mysteries: Haunted by Murder."

You may recall, Candace and her daughter, Natasha, also starred together in "Switched For Christmas," the Hallmark Channel Countdown to Christmas movie from 2017 in which Candace portrayed twin sisters who traded places. In that previous Christmas movie, Natasha portrayed Candace's daughter.

Eonline recently released all the details + some great press shots from this upcoming film. Natasha will portray the teenage version of her mother in this all new "Aurora Teagarden" mystery. Plus, the younger actress playing the teen version of Sally Allison, Aurora's bestie, is Lexa Doig's real-life daughter, Mia Shanks.

According to the article at E!, Hallmark has released this story synopsis: "When Aurora Teagarden and her best friend, Sally Allison, were teenagers, they entered the infamous 'haunted' Crenshaw Mansion on a dare and, to their shock, came upon a dead body in a secret room! It's twenty years later, and Aurora's mother, Aida, has bought the Crenshaw Mansion with plans to renovate and sell, dismissing the notion that the house is haunted."

Also, starring in this movie, are Niall Matter as Nick Miller, Marilu Henner as Aida Teagarden, Lexa Doig as Sally Allison, Peter Benson as Arthur Smith, Miranda Frigon as Lynn Smith, Dylan Sloane as Phillip Pifer, Ellie Harvie as Lillian Tibbett, Cole Vigue as Davis Mettle and Julia Benson as Lizzie Allison Rankart.

"Aurora Teagarden Mysteries: Haunted by Murder" began shooting on November 22, 2021 and wrapped December 11, 2021. Candace shared the picture below on social media with all of her followers with the captioning: "Just wrapped another Aurora Teagarden Mystery. #18 !!!! I can’t believe we started these movies 7 years ago 🤯. I love bringing you family friendly entertainment and can’t wait for you to see this new one! Coming in February on @hallmarkmovie . Follow @aurorateagardenmysteries for more 🔎"

Look for the new "Aurora Teagarden Mysteries: Haunted by Murder" premiere on February 20, 2022 on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries.


Also, I want to be sure to mention - there are new times for some of the "New Year New Movies" airing in January on the Hallmark Channel - *click here* for details!

Get ready for wedding bells and more sleuthing with an all new Aurora Teagarden Mystery, plus look for an all new mystery movie, To Catch a Spy, - this June on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries!

See all of the movie details below...

🔎🔎🔎🔎🔎

Movie: Aurora Teagarden Mysteries: Til Death Do Us Part

Premiere Date: Sunday, June 13, 2021

Starring: Candace Cameron Bure, Niall Matter and Marilu Henner

Storyline via Hallmark: Just days before Aurora’s wedding, a body is discovered, and she fears her father may be a suspect. She and Nick race to solve the cold case before they walk down the aisle.

Review:

🔎 "Aurora Teagarden: Til Death Do Us Part – What a fascinating mystery, especially since it revolved around Aurora’s father, who we finally get to meet for the first time. When he becomes one of the key persons of interest after old skeletal remains are discovered, it rattles Aurora enough to want to postpone her wedding to Nick. Can she solve this cold case before their wedding day? It’s much harder to do this time around, though, since she is so close to all of the suspects. Nick, however, is Aurora’s rock, always concerned over her thoughts and feelings. Another interesting detail, was watching Aurora’s parents together again – very sweet! Even though I figured out who-dun-it before the person was revealed, I still enjoyed watching the mystery unravel, and WEDDING SPOILER – Aurora and Nick do get married! I loved seeing the church with the crosses on the walls and the stained glass windows. Plus, it was lovely to see both parents walk Aurora down the aisle. This was definitely a family friendly movie mystery." ~Net

🔎🔎🔎🔎🔎

Movie: To Catch a Spy

Premiere Date: Sunday, June 20, 2021

Starring: Nathalie Kelley, Colin Donnell and Patti Murin

Storyline via Hallmark: A travel writer witnesses a murder at a hotel in Malta and becomes ensnared in a web of intrigue and espionage as she tries to find the killer before the killer finds her.


Reviews:

🔎 "TO CATCH A SPY - To Catch a Spy was definitely more intense than the typical Hallmark mystery movies. It felt like it was more action-packed, which I don’t see a lot in Hallmark mystery. It kept me on the edge of my seat and engaged all throughout the movie. I liked the two leads. I enjoyed the writing and directing. The story wasn’t super realistic honestly, but the dialogue was funny, entertaining, and the mystery aspect was pretty good. I’m wondering if this is a pilot of a series or is it a single movie. I wish there will be a sequel! I want to see more of Chloe and Aaron😍" ~CH Mom

🔎 "To Catch a Spy – was thrilling and engaging! All the major and minor characters played an important role in putting the pieces of this puzzle together. Some scenes, such as the motor scooter – car chase were absolutely incredible, based on the cinematic style. I could hardly believe I was watching a Hallmark movie; it seemed like something I would see on the big screen - as we watched the scooter and black car dodge in and out of traffic, pedestrians, and around tall buildings. Thankfully, To Catch a Spy was NOT an audacious departure from the PG sort of mystery we are used to on Hallmark, but something about the movie seemed bigger and bolder. There was just a hint of romance, as the mystery itself took the full lead in this story. I enjoyed trying to figure out who-dun-it; all of the possible suspects had me guessing throughout the movie." ~Net, It's Wonderful Movie

🔎 "I have to admit based on the advance storyline I wasn't particularly looking forward to To Catch A Spy - in the event I really enjoyed it - it seemed to be a step up from Hallmark in the mystery stakes with more profound and exciting action. I wasn't that keen on Colin Donnell in Love On Iceland - in fact I would have preferred the heroine to have taken up with the Icelandic tour guide! - but here you would hardly recognise him as the same person. Basically there wasn't a romance in this but I definitely felt that in the scenes between Colin and Nathalie Kelley there was a certain frisson and I loved them together. The mystery was actually intriguing although I would agree with CH Mom that parts weren't exactly realistic and they kept us guessing right up to the end - it really could have been any of the suspects who all played their parts well. I may very well be wrong but my feeling is that this is a one-off although I wouldn't mind at all seeing a sequel. I really do think they could have given us a better ending - something as simple as when Nathalie turns down the job offer and they hug and say goodbye Aaron could say "Actually I have to attend a conference in Seattle in 6 weeks time would you like to meet up?" Chloe could answer "Yes, I'd like that" - nothing concrete but it would have given us a bit of hope! For me one of the most enjoyable Hallmark Mysteries to date." ~Anonymous
