Hallmark Mystery Premiere of




Storyline: Our Warriors work to exonerate a mother wrongly accused of murdering another mother in the Parent School Coalition.

Hallmark Mystery Premiere
Friday, May 29, 2026 at 8pm/7c.


Movie Review:

🔎 True Justice – This one is fast-paced and lots of fun. You have to pay attention closely, because there are lots of names/suspects mentioned, so you have to stay on your game. It was cute that they called themselves the Justice Warriors. That kind of reminded me of Signed, Sealed, Delivered – and the way they call themselves The Postables. Plus, another similarity to SSD… it looks like our 4 Justice Warriors may be pairing up as couples. It was cute to see that they had interest in one another. That added some lightheartedness to the story. (Although, I must admit, sometimes it felt a little middle-school-ish the way they kept asking – do you like so&so? It was still cute and playful, but at times came across slightly immature.)

Also, I didn’t care for a line from Sarah, the dark-haired forensic specialist, who at one point, as she’s attempting a critical test, says, “pray to whoever you pray to.” Personally, that wording felt unnecessary and very distracting. I think a simple “pray this works” would have sufficed. Aside from that moment, and the murder mystery, the film remains fairly family-friendly and is probably best suited for viewers ages 12 and up.

It was great to see Nikki DeLoach and Benjamin Ayres in this again, but I was also hoping to see a bit more of them. While I understand they are not the primary focus of the mystery, their scenes added a wonderful spark, and I found myself wishing for a few more moments with them onscreen.

Near the end, the Justice Warriors also break the fourth wall and directly address the TV audience, revealing clues that lead to who-dun-it. I know some people like that and some people don’t. It was actually kinda fun, but as I mentioned before, it’s extremely fast-paced so you have to pay very close attention. ~Net

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



Have a wonderful last weekend of May, everyone! I'm hoping it's not too hot for those of you in warmer climates - on the West Coast and Down South. I'm so thrilled we are finally going to be in the 80s more consistently!

Also, I wanted to note - I am aware there is a new movie on the Hallmark Channel Saturday night titled Haunted Harmony Mysteries: Key to the Castle; I am not promoting this film because it contains ghosts and paranormal activity.

Scripture tells us this: “Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord.” ~Deuteronomy 18:10-12

The new episodes of County Rescue include more deep emotions from the team as they continue to heal from their loss, lean on their faith, and pursue their service to others.


Have a blessed weekend, everyone!

SHINING HIS LIGHT:

“This is the day that the Lord has made; 
let us rejoice and be glad in it.” 
-Psalm 118:24

This month may end with a busy schedule and a full list of things to do, but we can trust in Him to carry us through all the days ahead. Even in the ordinary moments, God still fills our days with little reminders of joy and hope.

His mercies are new each day, His love never wavers, and His goodness is always enough to meet you right where you are.

❄ Cozy Movie Picks to Make Your Weekend Delightful — Even If the Weather Outside Is Frightful




Hello, Friends!

This weekend, my heart is especially with those of you, like myself, who are awaiting this new winter storm called Fern. I'm praying you all will be safe and warm as the bitter cold settles in once again and this intense storm moves across the U.S.

We’re expecting heavy snow and strong winds here at our home in the Midwest, and I know many of you may also be in the storm’s path. If you have power over the weekend, please leave us a note in the comments and let us know how you’re doing.

I'm praying for those who must work in these tough conditions, travel on the roads, and especially those who will be dealing with ice. My family and I once went through a severe ice storm that left us without power for over a week. It was challenging, but we were grateful for our fireplace to keep us warm, and since the temps were very low, we used a cooler outside for our cold foods. We all pulled together, and in many ways, it became a special time I’ll always cherish. I pray that each of you is able to stay warm, safe, and cozy indoors throughout the weekend.


It's one of those weekends that's ideal for reading a good book, playing board games, or watching movies, of course! I've included some suggestions for movie-watching below, including Hallmark's new Winter Escape and some wonderful classics from Great American Family and all three Hallmark channels.

See details below...

Merry *Mark the 25th!*
as we Countdown to Christmas!



This Sunday will mark *ONE MONTH* since Christmas and 11 months until Christmas 2026!!!

If I have power, I'm planning to watch a Christmas movie to celebrate the day. It will probably be one of the new ones from Christmas 2025 that I haven't seen, but I haven’t decided which one yet, so I'll have to let you know. Perhaps, Single on the 25th, Oy to the World!, or Christmas in Big Sky Country??? If you've seen them, which one would you choose?

And... if you're planning to watch a Christmas movie too, and already have one in mind, please share in comments.

However, if you're not sure and need a movie recommendation, I have a great one for you...




I recently streamed “Christmas Roses” (free on YouTube), and I have to say... it is absolutely beautiful!!! Misty and Lizzy both shared such positive reviews of this film, so I decided to give it a watch, and I’m so glad I did! This movie is truly heartwarming and wonderfully unique, one of those rare stories that draws you into every scene, entertains, and touches the heart!

The young girl in this film, Olive, is absolutely spectacular! Her performance is so adorable, inspiring, and moving. She's a true scene-stealer!

Plus, you'll likely recognize the two leads, Casey Elliott and Stacey Ann Turner, from “Destined at Christmas.”

A small note of caution for young viewers: there is mention of the death of a father/parents, and a young girl travels a long distance on her own without permission or supervision. (I don't want young children to get the idea that it is safe to do that.) Aside from those issues, this is a lovely, meaningful film that I think many of you will fall in love with - just as I did!

This movie is a beautiful reminder that even in the midst of life’s hardships, God's love is always faithful.
