This weekend there are several Spring-type options of new content on Hallmark, with a road trip (ideal for Spring break!), mystery and chocolate (makes me think of Easter candy!), and there are faith-based films and inspirational Easter programming on UPtv as we enter into Holy Week on this Palm Sunday. I hope you find something you will enjoy!

Is there anything special you are looking forward to watching this weekend? I'm curious about the new Hallmark rom-com with Brant Daugherty, but the actress is new-to-me, so... we'll see!
I'm also quite curious about the new mystery! Nikki DeLoach and Andrew Walker are well-known for their extensive resume of great Hallmark movies. Should be interesting to see how this mystery goes for the two of them; however, since they've already done movies together, they will surely have excellent chemistry in this new one. (This is actually Andrew's second HMM mystery, since he previously starred in "Wedding Planner Mystery." Unfortunately, they only made that one movie.) I presume this will be the first movie in a series of Curious Caterer films.
Please note: I have not 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'm also very grateful UPtv is airing programming that honors the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. I hope you all have a delightful weekend as we prepare our hearts for this upcoming Holy Easter Week.
God's blessings to you all on this Palm Sunday! Net

SHINING HIS LIGHT:
Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King
12 The next day the great crowd that had come for the festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem.
13 They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting,
“Hosanna!”
“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”
“Blessed is the king of Israel!”
14 Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, as it is written:
15 “Do not be afraid, Daughter Zion;
see, your king is coming,
seated on a donkey’s colt.”
16 At first his disciples did not understand all this. Only after Jesus was glorified did they realize that these things had been written about him and that these things had been done to him.
17 Now the crowd that was with him when he called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to spread the word.
18 Many people, because they had heard that he had performed this sign, went out to meet him.
~ John 12:12-18
