💛🎬 New Beginnings & Adventure Awaits: Hallmark’s *Winter Escape* and "When Calls the Heart"

Happy Winter Weekend, Everyone!

I know it's a really cold one for many of us across the U.S. Please stay safe and bundled-up out there.

If you're looking to warm things up a little, Hallmark Channel’s Love on the Amazon, starring Jaicy Elliott, takes us viewers into the hot, humid Amazon rainforest for a romantic adventure.

And in an all-new episode of When Calls the Heart, the town of Hope Valley opens its arms to the fire victims of Benson Hills. While Nathan and Bill work to uncover what caused the wildfire, tensions may rise as Lee points the finger at A.J. McGinty.

I also share a scripture and thoughts at the end of this post - inspired by this upcoming When Calls the Heart episode.

Movie Reviews - Ainsley McGregor Mysteries: A Case For the Watchmaker:


🎬 Watching Ainsley now and enjoying every moment. Looking at the new schedule, looks like a great season ~Anonymous

🎬 A Case for the Watchmaker is sooo good! -Maria

🎬 The new Ainsley is fantastic! One thing I thought was great about it, was that it was a cold case, so this small town doesn’t really have that many current murders to solve.

The book club was very involved, which I liked. It’s cute they still can’t come up with a new name to call themselves. I think they should just stick with book club.

Candace looked so pretty, as usual. I liked seeing her longer hair again. Christie

🎬 Ainsley McGregor Mysteries: Case for a Watchmaker review

I wasn’t a big fan of the first two, but this one was a big improvement!! I liked that she had more scenes with her corner friend. But really appreciated how honest and faithful Jake was when his ex showed up. And her told Ainsley the truth right way that the mayor texted him. Ainsley never had to doubt him. I would have liked to see more possible suspects, but the mystery was enjoyable.~Abigail

🎬 Also watched A Case For The Watch Maker! Awesome! Best one yet – Joyce in Carolina

🎬 "Ainsley Mcgregor" - I have to agree with everyone here. This installment was definitely the best one of the series so far. We figured out who did it early on, but it was still an enjoyable ride, nonetheless. :-) The main characters all seem very comfortable in their roles now. I liked the supporting characters this time around too. I hope the series continues. ~Joan

🎬 This, in my opinion, is the best "Ainsley" mystery, so far! You could sense a deeper connection with all of the characters, and not only was the mystery intriguing, but the pace of the story was engaging, with clever dialogue. My guess of who-dun-it was right, but that also made it a fun watch.

I especially liked how the book club was more actively involved in solving a cold case, adding both heart and humor to the investigation. A new character is introduced who is wonderfully quirky and instantly memorable. He is so funny... I sure hope we see him again in future episodes!

Also, I liked that Jake was still his usual self, silly and friendly, but he also seemed more mature, confident, and capable. When Ainsley's life is in jeopardy, Jake stays the night at her home on the couch with Ainsley's adorable dog, George. I enjoyed seeing more of his strong, protective side.

This movie was sooo good; it reminded me of how much I always enjoyed the "Aurora Teagarden" mysteries. It has that same cozy mystery feel. I sure hope Great American Family plans to continue this mystery series- since I had such a wonderful *time* watching "A Case for the Watchmaker"! ~Net



*****************************


Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

Since it’s a bitterly cold weekend here in the Midwest, I’m planning to cozy up with some Christmas movies I haven’t watched yet. And, of course, the new episode of When Calls the Heart on Sunday is a must-see for my family! Sundays are always a nice, busy mix of worship, fellowship, and rest.

Please Note: I haven't pre-screened the new Winter Escape movie premiering this weekend. If you'd like to post a review on whether this movie is family-friendly, please share in the comments below. Thank you in advance to everyone who shares with us.

Blessings to You All!

“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”

– Luke 6:38

This weekend’s scripture is inspired by the love and compassion we’ll see Hope Valley extend to the people of Benson Hills after the wildfire that destroyed their homes and belongings. It’s such a beautiful reminder to use whatever God has given us to bless others. Giving doesn’t always mean money; it can also be a warm meal, a helping hand, or simply showing up and spending time with someone who needs it.

My prayer is that this episode will be a true blessing to anyone who has walked through a hard season. May it gently encourage us all to reach out, give back, and offer help or friendship wherever it’s needed.
