Hallmark Movies-Seasons Of Love

Starring:   Jen Lilley and Chris McNally Released:   2021 Summary:   A journalist with a distaste for traveling gets the opportunity to tackle her dream assignment and unwillingly mentors an attractive bed-and-breakfast owner. Image:  Crown Media This fun and wintry movie follows Kate, Jayne, Noah, and Simon.  All four characters are "polar" opposites in so many ways, but they end up blending well together, like the cheese, wine, and chocolate they sample in the movie. Which movie character do you relate to the most? Kate   Kate does not like adventure.  She creates a routine for her daily life, and she doesn't deviate from it.  She has no desire to explore other areas of the world because she thinks Manhattan has it all.  She's deathly afraid of heights, and she doesn't enjoy the outdoors.  When it comes to exercise, she prefers a temperature-controlled gym over a hike in nature.  She feels safer with absolutes and ...

Starring:  Alexa PenaVega and Luke MacFarlane Released:  2021 Summary:  A former professional dancer is using ballet to help a hockey player get back on the ice. Taking a Shot at Love premiered January 2, 2021.  Image:  Crown Media Do Stud Athletes Really Take Ballet? Ballet is such a delicate and overtly feminine art form that seemingly has no place for excessive testosterone from buff athletes, but if men can dodge the jabs, jeers, and stigmatization, it offers them a unique form of cross-training to give them an advantage over their competition. What do you think of Luke MacFarlane in ballet shoes?  He's still a hunk! Ballet improves an athlete's agility, coordination, flexibility, balance, footwork, core strength, and lateral movement.  Learning the jumps in ballet is extremely cardiovascular.  With it's precise movements, ballet strengthens muscles and tendons a person might never use otherwise.  This is beneficial, not only to hockey p...

Share Your New Year's Resolution For a Chance to Win! The year 2020 has been challenging and eye-opening in many ways.  For many of us, priorities have changed because when push came to shove, we realized what we value most in life.  As a result, New Year's resolutions for 2021 may be a little different than prior years. The most common New Year's resolutions pre-dating 2020 included exercising more, saving more money, eating healthier, and losing weight.  Those are all great things!  In 2021, however, people are setting different goals, like doing more random acts of kindness, reaching out to others who are isolated and alone, being faithful in church attendance, reading more, or becoming more proactive politically.

Starring:  Chaley Rose and Nathan Witte Released:  2020 (Fall Harvest) Summary:  A hopeless romantic catches the bouquet at her friend's wedding, and she starts letting the bouquet toss convince her that an eligible bachelor is the one. Image:  Crown Media Who Is Chaley Rose? Chaley Rose is best known for her role as Zoey in the drama series Nashville.  Hallmark fans remember her from A Christmas Duet which premiered during the 2019 Christmas season where she wowed us with her musical talent.   Not only is Rose an accomplished singer and songwriter (too bad we didn't get to hear her perform any tracks in My   Best Friend's Bouquet ), but in high school, she was a cheerleader, gymnast, on the track team, and her school's first black homecoming queen.  What a woman! Rose expounds on her heritage--her mom is half black and half white, and her dad is one-quarter white and three-quarters black, despite his fair complexion.  Not only is sh...
