My Best Friend's Bouquet

image: Crown Media

Storyline via Hallmark: Josie Hughes is a hopeless romantic who believes in the kind of romance in black-and-white movies where the leading lady finds her one true love and gets swept off her feet. She also believes the wedding bouquet always finds its way to the right person when tossed by the bride, as proven time and again at weddings dating back to her childhood. But single Josie ends up with the bouquet at her friend Emma’s wedding instead of their not-single friend Athena and fears she’s wrecked her chances of getting engaged. But when Josie begins dating eligible bachelor Will after meeting at the reception – much to the dismay of her long-time friend Alex, who has secretly held a torch for her since college – she decides the bouquet is responsible for the budding romance and begins to think that Will is “the one.” As Josie clings to the notion that the bouquet is always right, she’s missing the real-world signs that her perfect match is someone else who’s been right in front of her all along.

*Please Note: As a pre-caution, I just want to let you know - I have not previewed the new movies above; therefore, I don't know, yet, if they will be 100% family friendly. Please use your own discretion when watching and if you see any content of concern, please share in comments below. Based on the information and trailers we've been given, I'm hopeful these movies will be good ones!

It's hard to believe we are nearing the end of Fall Harvest movies and all of the NEW Christmas movies are fast approaching! Less than 2 weeks to go - before they all begin! If you're getting into the spirit, like I am, you can check out the Christmas TV Schedule - HERE! This year I've decided it will contain the new premieres, along with cherished, classic favorites - such as: It's a Wonderful Life, A Charlie Brown Christmas, and many more! You'll want to be sure to check back for updates & changes along the way - throughout the Christmas season. ( As we faithful Christmas movie watchers know... *sigh* ...there are always changes! )

The leaves on our trees here in the Midwest are still in the incredible turning stage. It is amazing to watch them gradually change daily from their light grassy green color to a pumpkin orange shade, with some rustic tones. What a wonderful reminder it is that "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven..." (Ecclesiastes 3:1)

I pray today is a beautiful season in your life! 

Blessings to you all! Net

Two new great Christmas movies have just been released on DVD!

Double Holiday

Career-minded Rebecca’s plans for Hanukkah don’t go as expected when a promotion opportunity comes up at work. When the company CEO asks Rebecca and her insufferable office mate, Chris – also her main competitor for the promotion – to plan the company’s Christmas party, she realizes they must overcome their opposing styles in order to succeed. Forced to work together on the party, Chris learns more about Rebecca and embraces her family’s Hanukkah traditions, while she also begins to see him in a new light. Although feelings slowly develop between the two, the ongoing competition over the promotion threatens to undermine it all.

This title will be released on October 13, 2020.

Well-loved music duo Averie and Jesse, famous for their duet "Wouldn’t Be Christmas," haven't played together since they went their separate ways years ago. Averie gave up music and opened a beautiful lodge in a snowy Vermont town - while Jesse still tours, struggling to find the same kind of success they had as a duo. When fate brings them together over the holidays at Averie's lodge just in time for the annual Yuletide Festival, can the magic of Christmas help reunite them once again?
