🍂🍁 This October Weekend is Made for Fall Romances and Country Drama

Happy first weekend of October, everyone!🍂🍁

Fall truly feels like it's on the way now... and we are just one week away from NEW Christmas movies! Yay! I'm holding on tight to this extra special feeling of anticipation!

But before we get ahead of ourselves, there is plenty to enjoy this weekend! We are nearly midway through Season 2 of Crossroad Springs, and this weekend marks the final episode airing on Great American Family this year; however, if you don't want to wait for the rest of Season 2, you can keep watching episodes weekly via streaming on Great American PureFlix. (UPDATE: Season 2 will continue Jamuary 9, 2027 on Great American Family.)

And over on the Hallmark Channel, Fall into Love continues with a romantic fantasy that will whisk us back in time. The movie stars Julie Gonzalo and James Trevena, with a special appearance from Chris McNally - Julie’s real-life husband! That should be fun to see what role he plays.

See all of the details below...

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I’m especially looking forward to watching Crossroad Springs and maybe squeezing in a couple of Christmas movies to mark the 25th… because, of course, we’re officially counting down to Christmas!!! I’m planning to watch There’s No Place Like Christmas, starring Cindy Busby and Sam Page, on Great American Family and Pride, Prejudice, & Mistletoe, starring Lacey Chabert and Brendan Penny, on the Hallmark Channel!

If you’re also planning to watch a Christmas movie today, or this weekend, I’d love to hear what’s on your list in the comments below! It can be one of the movies airing on TV Friday night or anything else!

I also wanted to take a moment to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who prayed for my family after the storm that came through last week. We’re all doing well as we’re in the middle of the clean-up and repairs, but little by little, we’re getting there. We’re hearing now that it may have actually been a tornado, which is honestly a little hard to take in. More than anything, and I truly can't say it enough... I’m just incredibly thankful to God that we all made it through safely.

Take care, everyone...

Have a Blessed Weekend!!!

Have a Great Weekend, Everyone!

I hope all of you who enjoy a good mystery (like me!) will tune in for the new Garage Sale Mystery premiering this weekend! I’m so happy to see this mystery series return.

And Crossroad Springs looks like it will be another wonderful episode, too. I’ve really been enjoying this sweet series - love the faith, family, and farm life!

Speaking of family, I also wanted to share a little bit about what happened to my family this week. We had what seemed like a normal thunderstorm come through at my parents’ home. I was there, along with other family. There wasn’t a thunderstorm watch or warning at the time, so we really weren’t expecting anything severe. The lightning became pretty intense, and then suddenly the wind picked up tremendously. Before we knew it, we started hearing loud crashing sounds around the house. I think we all said all at once, what was that?

More than twenty evergreen trees came down, with three of them crashing into windows. Oh my... the mess!!!! There was broken glass, pine needles, debris, and rain coming into the house. The force of everything even knocked shelves from the walls and broke some glass décor inside. (even some sentimental Christmas pieces)

Needless to say, we were all pretty shaken.

I’m so thankful for the strong men in our family who went right to work, even in the pouring rain, clearing debris and boarding up the broken windows... while all of us girls cleaned the glass and debris on the inside, and we’ve all still been cleaning up inside and outside ever since.

And, of course, our weather was unusually hot this week for September, which has made the cleanup even more challenging!

It has been heartbreaking to see so much damage. Those beautiful trees have been there for years and hold so many wonderful family memories. Some beautiful fencing was also taken down, there is damage to the roof, and seeing the property look so different overnight has been emotional.

But even in the midst of all that devastation, we are ALL praising God.

When I think about how close those trees and flying debris came to where we were, I’m simply overwhelmed with gratitude that we were all safely inside, and no one was hurt. Things can be repaired, and trees can eventually be replanted, but our family is safe, and that is what matters most. And all of the neighbors are safe, too, although they also had plenty of damage to their homes, as well.

So, my friends, please take care and stay safe, especially if storms are headed your way. Sometimes severe weather can come so unexpectedly.

God bless you all,

Net

SHINING HIS LIGHT:

Through it all, I keep coming back to this verse:

“God is our refuge and strength,

a very present help in trouble.”

🍁 A Cozy Fall Romance, A Small-Town Drama, A True Life Story, & More This Weekend - See Here:

The weekend is finally here, friends! I hope we can all enjoy a relaxing, peaceful weekend.

Another *Fall into Love* movie is premiering this Saturday on the Hallmark Channel, and it looks like a sweet, cozy Autumn rom-com... with a Fall bucket list that includes apple-picking, pumpkin carving, a corn maze, a bonfire, and more!

Also on Saturday night, Great American Family has episode 2 of Crossroad Springs! An old friend visits town, which may make James a little jealous, and of course, there's always a little drama between the Hamiltons and the Newmans.

And following the 25th anniversary of September 11th, Lifetime has a new movie premiering Saturday night titled Angel in the Rubble, that tells the inspiring true story of Genelle Guzman's miraculous rescue from the Twin Towers. I've heard Genelle speak about rediscovering her Christian faith while waiting and praying to be rescued; her testimony is truly powerful. (Please note: I do want to caution that this movie is rated TV-14 for violence, language, and adult dialogue.)

☀️ Labor Day Weekend Brings New 'Crossroad Springs,' 'Blue Ridge' Finale, a Splash of Summer, Marathons, & More

Happy Labor Day Weekend, My Friends!

Can you believe we’ve reached Labor Day Weekend already? Summer may be winding down, but there are still some wonderful things to enjoy, and this weekend brings the return of a beloved family drama, along with an exciting season finale!

First up, I’m so happy to head back Saturday night to the Hamilton family ranch for Season 2 of Crossroad Springs! I’m looking forward to seeing what’s ahead for our favorite characters as they face new challenges and adventures on the ranch.

And then, get ready for a dramatic and suspenseful season finale of Blue Ridge: The Series! This Sunday, Season 2 comes to an exciting conclusion on INSP, as a devastating landslide strikes deep in the Blue Ridge Mountains in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. And making this finale even more exciting are special guest stars Keith Carradine (pictured above) and Nancy Stafford!

With Labor Day Weekend being thought of as the last (unofficial) weekend of Summer, I also thought it would be nice to share below a splash of the classic Summer movies airing this weekend, along with some fun Fall classics!

Have a Wonderful Weekend, Everyone!

So, whether you’re enjoying one last summer getaway or simply relaxing at home, I hope you have a nice and blessed Labor Day Weekend!

And of course, I hope you'll be able to make some time to enjoy Crossroad Springs and Blue Ridge: The Series, or be sure to set record for these great series, the movie marathons, & more!

I’m making plans to spend some extra time indoors with my family this Labor Day weekend. Unfortunately, the weather has been dangerously hot here, making it difficult to enjoy much time outdoors, so we’ll be finding other ways to relax and make the most of our time together. If you’re experiencing this same stretch of extreme heat, I hope you’re able to stay cool, hydrated, and safe.

UPDATE: The comment section was down, but it is working now. So sorry for the inconvenience. Looking forward to hearing from you all again!

Blessings to you all!

~ Jeremiah 29:11

There may be times when we cannot understand what God is doing or see how everything will come together, but we can trust that He is always at work, even in the waiting. An unexpected change may be leading us somewhere we never imagined. The One who already knows your tomorrow is faithfully preparing the way today. When we place our future in His hands, we can move forward with peace, knowing He will never leave us or forsake us.

I'm delighted the cast of "Crossroad Springs" is now filming, and it's wonderful to hear that season 2 will have more special, inspirational moments led by Pastor James at the Cowboy Church. Are you excited for season 2, as well? Please share in comments below.

In a previous post, I shared a premiere date that was given in an on screen promo for "Crossroad Springs" season 2; that date was Sunday, August 9th. Since this press release does not mention that premiere date, I'm wondering if there may be a change in plans. Stay tuned for any updates.

UPDATE: "Crossroad Springs" Season 2 Premiere Date has been changed to Saturday, September 5th!

Blessings on your day,

There's lots to enjoy this weekend...

When Calls the Heart Season Finale – it may be springtime for us, but in Hope Valley, it’s all about the Harvest Festival! Will Nathan finally propose marriage to Elizabeth?

Get ready for plenty of heartfelt moments, sweet surprises, and a celebration to remember.

Hallmark is also kicking off its *Spring into Love* movie lineup with Two for Tee - starring When Calls the Heart star, Chris McNally.

In case you missed it, the stars of When Calls the Heart and Hope Valley: 1874, including the lovely Erin Krakow, who is well along in her pregnancy, and Lori Loughlin, who will return to the series in season 14, gathered on Wednesday night (March 18th) in Los Angeles for a special celebration for the season 13 finale of When Calls the Heart and the exclusive premiere of Hope Valley 1874 on Hallmark+!

Here are some pictures via Hallmark+ of the red carpet:

I hope those of you who have been enjoying season 13 of When Calls the Heart will thoroughly enjoy the season finale! I can't help from wondering if there will be a thrilling or puzzling cliffhanger this season? Happy watching to all of you, Hearties!

For those of you who are streaming the first episode of Hope Valley: 1874 on Hallmark+ beginning this Saturday, I hope you'll enjoy this introduction to the new characters from the frontier era.

Also, I wanted to note that the Miniseries, The Faithful: Women of the Bible, brings the Book of Genesis to life through the eyes of women in the Bible - Sarah, Hagar, Rebekah, Leah, and Rachel. The series highlights how their journeys of faith helped shape God's greater plan.

This special three-week event begins on March 22nd on FOX and leads up to Easter Sunday, April 5th. (Please Note: I have not seen any of these episodes, so I’m not sure how closely the stories will follow the Bible.)

Have a Blessed, 

Wonderful Weekend, Everyone,

Spring doesn’t simply cover what was before; it gently brings new life into being. In Christ, you’re not just made better... You are made new! As we come to know and follow Him, He tenderly transforms us from the inside out.

✨This Weekend on TV: NEW Nelly Knows Mystery, When Calls the Heart, and Crossroad Springs

( click here to enlarge image ) 

The weekend is here again, friends! 

It's almost Spring! 🌷✨

I hope this lovely mid-March weekend finds you all doing well and enjoying a little relaxation!

I’m especially excited for the all-new Nelly Knows Mystery starring two of my favorites, Pascale Hutton and Kavan Smith! Sleuthing is always intriguing and fascinating... but it’s even more delightful when the movie stars such a fun and charming duo!

Meanwhile, When Calls the Heart is airing a new episode that centers on the big trial over who started the fire. With just one episode left after this, the suspense is building! Let’s hope Christopher Gowan makes his way back to Hope Valley to testify.

And over on Crossroad Springs, Maggie, James, and the town prepare for a special open mic night at the Daisy Mae Café to support the new Cowboy Church. This gathering brings many from the community together, even Daniel Newman, through music, fellowship, and faith! 🎶
