Happy Weekend, Everyone!
It's that time again! Let's check out what's airing this weekend...
Hallmark Movies & Mysteries has an all-new movie premiere Friday night starring Andrea Brooks, who portrays Dr. Faith Carter on When Calls the Heart. Since When Calls the Heart's Season 10 is one week away from this Sunday, many Hearties are wondering if there will be any special promos during this new premiere? We will have to tune in to see!
And as *Christmas in July* rolls on... Great American Family will air six classic Christmas movies this weekend; three of my favorites from GAF are airing on Sunday night, and the Hallmark Channel has three special Christmas movie showings airing on Saturday and Sunday!
Plus, check out something fun with Candace Cameron Bure!

And now for something extra fun with Candace Cameron Bure! Since the actors can't really talk about their films right now due to the SAG strike, it's enjoyable to see them talk about their other projects. Candace Cameron Bure was on QVC this morning promoting her clothing line, with jeans, hoodies, sweaters, cute tops, dresses, and more!
Here are three video clips from Candace this morning on QVC...
Candace will be back on QVC on Friday, July 21, 2023, for a shorter segment, sometime within the 5pm-8pm show to promote her clothing.
You can also shop the Candace Cameron Bure clothing line at QVC - here!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend planned. The new Hallmark Movies & Mysteries premiere, A Lifelong Love, looks intriguing to me - with a touch of mystery to the story. Plus, I thought Andrea Brooks and Patch May had wonderful chemistry in their previous UPtv movie, The Wedding Fix, so I think it will be fun to see them together again.
UPDATE "A Lifelong Love" Movie Review- I decided to give this movie a try. Around 30 minutes in, Annika (Andrea Brooks) and Ryan (Patch May) are searching for her grandfather's first love, Ruth Barlow. They meet an older woman with that name, who works at a greenhouse nursery. Even though she's the wrong Ruth, they still ask if she'll share her love story with them for a book they are writing. A couple scenes later, this woman, Ruth, proceeds to talk about her wife, Nancy. From there I stopped watching. It was a lighthearted, interesting movie up to that point. I was disappointed they had to include that. ~Net
For those of you who don't have the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries channel, I hope you will have the opportunity this weekend to see both Long Lost Christmas and Time for Him to Come for Christmas. Both are heartwarming films - filled with emotion. I do want to caution that Time for Him may be too deep for younger viewers. Also, another caution, at the intro of Haul Out the Holly, Lacey is living in the same place as her boyfriend, but nothing is shown. You can read reviews for all of these Christmas movies from 2022 - *here*.
Keep cool, everyone, on these hot and humid Summer days, and enjoy the snowy scenes of Christmas in July!
