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,

SHINING GOD's LIGHT:

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, and see, the new has come!”

~2 Corinthians 5:17

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.

Two for Tee

Saturday March 21 - 8/7c

Tee is a Chinese American pottery artist who meets new community center handyman Will. As she learns about her family's traditions through art, can she and Will save the center from closure?

Stars Janel Parrish and Chris McNally

Movie Reviews:

🌷 Oh, I was so very saddened to hear about the ratings for 'Two for Tee'! It was such a lovely and heartfelt film. We enjoyed the movie very much. Added bonus was there were two "WCTH" actors. The young actress, who played the daughter is the same girl who played Gwen! Oh my gosh! She made me love her even more in this little gem of a movie. She was seriously great. She is absolutely adorable and such a natural. I believe she will have a long career. Anyway, in addition to that, the film was really wonderful. All of the relationships were believable. Nice chemistry. Good story line and it had some good funny moments. Plus, it was clean. I would definitely watch it again. :-) ~Joan

🌷 Two for Tee is family friendly and quite sweet. -Maria




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

A Royal Setting

Saturday March 28 - 8/7c

Ruby, a world-renowned gemologist is hired by Prince Luca to restore the crown jewels and design his crown challenging tradition and complicating his relationship with his mother, the queen.

Stars Jen Lilley and Dan Jeannotte

Movie Reviews:

🌷 A Royal Setting – What a delight it was seeing Jen Lilley again! She is always like a breath of fresh air. The story was nice, the connection between Ruby (Jen Lilley) and Prince Luca (Dan Jeannotte) was sweet, but I especially enjoyed watching Ruby trying to connect ever so kindly with thoughtful gifts and conversation with the silent guard who stood in the room where she was working on the crown jewels. I thought this was a lovely insight into Ruby’s warm and friendly personality.

Overall, it’s a cozy, enjoyable watch, even if the royal crown isn’t all that impressive. Since the storyline follows a familiar royal romance path, with a prince falling in love with a commoner, I would have loved a little bit more excitement or added sparkle to the plot… but even still, the movie remains lighthearted, wholesome, and family-friendly. And thanks to Jen Lilley’s delightful, cheerful performance, A Royal Setting is a truly pleasant, enjoyable escape. ~Net

🌷 I did watch A Royal Setting this weekend. I am not a fan of the royal movies and only watched it for Jen Lilley. It wasn't bad, it was better than many royal movies.

I liked Jen and Dan. I liked that it started off with mom pushing her choice on her son, but then it quickly went to showing us that Jory only had eyes for Zander and vice versa. So we didn't spend the whole movie with the royal making faces and not being happy being paired with mom's choice. I liked Ruby's pretty pink dress when they went out for an event.

At first I was getting annoyed with Ruby talking to Fred, but then it was just so sweet how she just made him feel he was valued and not just the guard. It seems the movie was showing that while tradition is good, it does not always have to be so rigid and strict.

And then the crown, I mean these movies are so hard cause they have a budget and all, but still. I mean CGI that thing in cause the one they showed looked awful. Hideous. The queens tiara wasn't quite as bad, but the crown was terrible.

Other weird thing, when the countess came to tell Ruby she was done and had to leave then, Ruby put a few things in her bag like her gloves, and then rolled her suitcase right out of there. Did she have it fully packed and all every day? Did she never unpack a thing? Was she ready to leave at a moments notice?

I do wonder what happens now. I know Ruby was going to the coronation, but is she moving to whatever made up nation they were at?

Overall I liked the sweetness Jen brings and her and Dan work so well together. I liked it was still a traditional royal family story, but a little change up on the entire movie wasn't the royal having to endure that he or she will marry someone they don't love. But I wouldn't watch it again. ~Sabrina




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

A Season to Blossom

Saturday April 4 at 8/7c

Starring: Emily Tennant and Carlo Marks

Storyline: An aspiring writer takes over her late grandmother's bookstore and finds love.

Movie Review:

🌷 A Season to Blossom – The leads in this, Emily Tennant and Carlo Marks, are very sweet and the story is equally sweet, but it’s also a little slow, at times. Overall, I enjoyed seeing her character, Elise, return home and run the book store she’s inherited from her grandmother, but like most stories, she’s eager to sell the book store, get back to the big city and leave behind her old friend, Max, who obviously has feelings for her.

Film highlights…

Even though the movie has a slower pace, it was still genuine and warm and I enjoyed seeing old friends reconnect and work so well with one another – encouraging each other – and sparking creativity.

There’s also an extra adorable cat – who is such a cutie. He actually reminded me of one of our adorable kitty cats!

Overall, this movie is lighthearted, easy-going, and family-friendly. If you want to watch something that is relaxing and peaceful, this would be a good choice. ~Net

🌷 I enjoyed "A Little Park Music", "A Season to Blossom".The Actor who played Carlo Mark's Father was in When Calls the Heart as a traveling minister, the left the show ~Namegirl

🌷 A Season to Blossom, had actor Mark Humphrey as Carlo's Dad. It's good to see him since his time in WCTH as a Mysterious Preacher. The Liberty Bell Romance and A Little Park Music. It was so good to see them before my TV gave up the Ghost. Not to mention the relic of my computer quit I took it Geek Squad yesterday, and got it back this morning. Yes there is a pulse is this old thing. I am grateful for it all these years. Everyone Be happy Bless the Lord! I Love all of my Sisters and Brothers in the Lord. ~Namegirl



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

A Little Park Music

Saturday April 11 at 8/7c

Starring: Laci J. Mailey and Beau Mirchoff

Storyline: When a piano appears in the park gazebo, interfering with important work, city manager Allie joins forces with rookie cop Ryan to remove it, only to find both music and love are hard to resist.

Movie Reviews:

🌷 A Little Park Music is quite charming. -Maria

🌷 A Little Park Music was really cute! Yes it was kind of a strange storyline but Laci and Beau had a sweet chemistry together, and it was fun to see them staking out and trying to solve the mystery together. The reason behind the piano was sweet. It’s always fun for me to see familiar faces in the supporting roles, and I giggled when I saw Lilian from Aurora Teagarden. She was her usual annoyed self Lol. And I enjoyed seeing Frances Flanagan as well. ~Paula

🌷 "A Little Park Music" was also a cute movie. A little bit of mystery, a nice story line that was a bit unique, sweet romance and great cast elevated the movie in my opinion. My gosh Laci has the bluest eyes I have ever seen. She was excellent in her role. I recommend this movie for sure. -Joan

🌷 "Litt Park Music"--I may be the minority here, I thought it was fine, but not great. The story got old for me after the same scenario over and over...and if I'm really picky, I like Laci's hair better brown, ;) but it was good enough, and I always appreciate a "clean" movie! -Lizzy R.

🌷 A Little Park Music was also a bore. I couldn't even tell you much about it, and I wanted to like it cause I love the leads. ~Sabrina

🌷 A Little Park Music was a sweet little movie. Story was different as it didn't fall into the rut that Hallmark seems to do so much of, "girl returns to home town and runs into old love from 20 years ago"! That story line has really gotten old!! Chemistry between the leads was good and it's family friendly. Saw some old familiar faces too. That's always nice! ~Joyce in Carolina

🌷 I'm catching up on a few movies. Just finished a Little Park Music on Hallmark. I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was warm, it was kind, it was uplifting and it was filled with how a community should be together. The leads in this were both very charming and I feel they really had a good chemistry together. I love their scenes and especially their stake out that they had. I recommend this movie highly and feel that it is one of the best movies Hallmark has had recently. –Deanna

🌷 I enjoyed "A Little Park Music", "A Season to Blossom".The Actor who played Carlo Mark's Father was in When Calls the Heart as a traveling minister, the left the show ~Namegirl

🌷 A Little Park Music – I thought this movie was delightful and interesting, and it had a bit of a mystery. It was fun to try and guess who was placing the piano in the town’s gazebo – just as they were trying to tear it down and replace it with a fountain. My hunch was right, but it was still fun to watch Laci and Beau’s characters, Allie and Ryan, unravel clues as they drew closer together.

The romance was sweet, but what I enjoyed most of all – was hearing all of the wonderful various talents play the piano. It was wonderful to see the town draw together – enjoying the singing and dancing! One of the songs I loved best was “When the Saints Go Marching In!” Very sweet movie for Sprig into Love and family-friendly! ~Net

To Philly with Love

Saturday April 18 at 8/7c

Starring Rebecca Dalton and Stephen Huszar

Storyline: A teacher and an archivist decode Revolutionary War-era love letters, taking them on a thrilling journey through Philadelphia where they uncover history—and discover a love story of their own.

Movie Reviews:

🌷 To Philly with Love was just plain boring. I had such a hard time getting thru it. I ff a lot and watched the ending. Just plain boring. ~Sabrina

🌷 To Philly with Love is family friendly , but just an ok 1 time watch for me. Scenery of Philly is lovely and the story line is definitely different. It's a little slow. I had a hard time staying engaged in the movie. ~Joyce in Carolina

🌷 To Philly With Love – I must say I wasn’t sure what to expect with this movie, but I enjoyed it. There was a bit of mystery to it, decoding old love letters from the Revolutionary War, and the chemistry between the two leads, Emma (Rebecca Dalton) and Nate (Stephen Huszar), was gentle and sweet, not rushed liked most rom-coms. I enjoyed seeing their interest in each other build gradually as they did research together and as they read through the beautiful love letters from centuries ago. That gave me a little feel of Signed, Sealed, Delivered.

I also enjoyed the close relationship with Emma and her mother as they packed away her grandmother’s treasured possessions, who passed recently. There’s one special scene that shows the mother sewing a quilt, and it touched my heart deeply because my grandmother made many beautiful quilts that looked so much like the one she was making. It was also truly heartwarming to see Emma carry on her grandmother’s love of history and interest in the Ladies of Liberty group.

Overall, I enjoyed the history, the mystery, and the gentle romance throughout the movie – from the past and present. It was wonderful to see the Liberty Bell, the Betsy Ross house, and other historic sites in Philadelphia. It’s a family-friendly watch that is wholesome and intriguing and the movie just might spark an interest in learning more U.S. history, especially as we celebrate America’s 250th birthday! ~Net

I'll Be Seeing You

Saturday April 25 at 8/7c

Starring: Tyler Hynes and Stacey Farber

Storyline: When a work errand derails Amy's weekend plans with her grandma, they embark on a road trip with one sentimental detour but need the help of a charming activities director.

Movie Reviews:

🌷 Aww, I'll be Seeing You certainly lives up to it's hype! –Maria

🌷 I’ll Be Seeing You – This movie is charming, sweet, sentimental… and truly just a whole lot of fun. It has heart and humor... keeps you smiling from scene to scene.

One of my favorite parts was watching Tyler Hynes as Mark, the activities director at the senior center. He doesn’t treat the residents like they’re simply part of his job, he actually treats them like family. Whether he’s reminding them to take their medication or making sure everyone feels seen and cared for, Mark has such a warm, genuine heart... and Tyler plays him perfectly.

The story follows Amy, played by Stacey Farber, a workaholic who ends up combining a last-minute work assignment with a road trip with her grandmother, Vivien, played by Christine Ebersole. They also invite Vivien’s friend Sue (BJ Harrison), who’s quietly grieving the loss of her husband on what would’ve been their anniversary. And when Amy’s car decides it has other plans (because of course it does!), Mark steps in and joins the adventure, offering to drive the ladies the rest of the way.

What follows is part road trip, part romance, and part mystery, as they begin searching for Vivien’s long-lost love, Teddy, nearly 50 years after their story began. Yes, you may have to suspend disbelief just a little, between the perfectly timed clues, a decades-old letter suddenly resurfacing, and conveniently crossing paths with someone who might know Teddy, but honestly, that’s part of the fun. Just roll with it!!!!

The chemistry between Amy and Mark is wonderful. Tyler brings his signature easygoing charm to Mark, a guy who’s not used to commitment, while Amy is all schedules and structure. Watching those two personalities clash... and slowly click... is half the fun.

Side note: While this movie is wholesome and family-friendly, there is one scene when they are on the road together where they discuss their horoscopes. I don’t believe in that, so I gave that part a quick fast-forward.

What I really loved most, though, was the heart of this story. It’s funny and touching. And hearing Christine Ebersole sing the title song “I’ll Be Seeing You” was absolutely lovely. That moment alone was worth the trip!

I hope you’ll also enjoy this adventure! ~Net
