This post contains spoilers and affiliate links. When I read the synopsis about the newest Hallmark Hall of Fame movie The Beach House, I was a bit underwhelmed. I figured it would be one of those movies where the girl has a midlife crisis, goes home, falls in love, the end. However, The Beach House was so much more than that. While Cara, played by Minka Kelly, does fall in love, this story was so much more than a love story. My Synopsis Cara left home several years before to pursue a career and to get away from an abusive father. She also resented her mother, Lovie, played by Andie MacDowell. Cara’s brother, Palmer, resented Cara for leaving him and their mother behind to deal with

** This post contains spoilers. I wrote this post in chunks as I processed my feelings after watching When Calls the Heart: Close to My Heart. My emotions have gone up and down and have spun around all day and no doubt it’s reflected in this post.

If there is one show I recommend to everyone, it’s When Calls the Heart. When Calls the Heart is Anne of Green Gables/Road to Avonlea meets Little House on the Prairie. The story was originally written by Janette Oke (also penned the Love Comes Softly series). And it’s the best. You’re totally missing out on if you haven’t watched this show. 9/10 people I’ve met have at least liked it. Even my non-hearties husband who teases me about this seems to like it a liiiiiitle. (That’s a big deal). All right. I’ll give you a quick crash course. And I’ll try not to spoil it… too much. (Edited to Add– there are some spoilers…so read at your own risk!) Before I start on the series, there

Welcome to “{Hall}Mark My Words”! I’ve been toying with this idea for a while… so I thought it would be fun to start a blog on all things Hallmark! Because who doesn’t love a good Hallmark movie, right? I’ll be honest. I used to make fun of Hallmark stuff when I was younger because I thought the movies were just so ridiculously cheesy. And I was immensely hurt by Willie LaHaye’s death in the Love Comes Softly series. Plus, I grew up without cable, so my Hallmark knowledge was very limited. But then, a couple of years ago, I got sucked into When Calls the Heart. Let’s just say, being on maternity leave, I needed something to do while feeding the baby at 2 AM.
