☀️ 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!

See all of the details below...

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!

☀️ SHINING HIS LIGHT: ☀️

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
~ 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.

Even though Labor Day weekend is usually considered the last hurrah of Summer, technically, Summer doesn't officially end this year until September 23rd. So... whether you're trying to soak up the rest of Summer as long as you can or you're ready to transition into Fall, September is the perfect time to do both!

For many years, the Hallmark Channel used to do their Summer Movie Countdown on Labor Day weekend, but now they start off the month immediately with their first *Fall Into Love* movie. Since Christmas movies begin at the end of next month, YES, NEXT MONTH, that leaves little, but just the right amount of time for Fall movies.

Are you ready for Fall-themed movies to start this weekend? And... the BIGGER QUESTION... are YOU READY for CHRISTMAS MOVIES to begin NEXT MONTH, near the end of OCTOBER??? Please share in comments below.

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.

Take care, everyone, and Happy Labor Day weekend!

Blessings!
