Why can’t life be like a Hallmark movie?
In celebration of Hallmark’s month of Love Ever After programming, I would like to share one of the most beautiful Real Life love stories that I know. Because when people say “life is not like a Hallmark movie” or any movie for that matter, I think to myself, They don’t know Sarita and Andrew. (The… Continue reading A Real Life Love Story
On last week’s hot chocolate adventure, I enjoyed the company of a friend (see previous post here), but Real Life doesn’t always work out so neatly. When I signed up for a wine and cheese tasting class, I knowingly did so with the idea that I’d be celebrating Hallmark’s Love Ever After lineup. I didn’t,… Continue reading Valentine for One… in Real Life
Up until this point I’ve done a pretty good job of staying one to two weeks ahead of deadline so that I can manage producing new content for the blog in the midst of a demanding job… in Real Life. However, last week all my well-intentioned plans to be ahead of schedule fell short, and… Continue reading Searching for My Hallmark Hot Chocolate Moment
It’s award season and the Oscars are almost upon us, so it seems appropriate to share that this past fall, I was nominated for the Liebster Award, a blogger-to-blogger award that enables bloggers to recognize and support one another. I am honored to receive this recognition not only from a fellow blogger, but a fellow… Continue reading I Won the Liebster Award!

But don’t be surprised if you see this book in movie form next year during Hallmark Channel’s Love Ever After lineup, because this book has all the… Continue reading Book Review of Country Hearts by Cindi Madsen
It’s Winterfest in the Hallmark world and plain ole winter in the real world. Either way, it’s the season of snow, ice skating, skiing, hot chocolate, and fun activities that help us celebrate the wintry chill in the air. I, however, embraced my first Winterfest adventure—ice skating—rather reluctantly. So much so that one might call… Continue reading Embracing Winterfest with Ice Skating
Let It Snow, starring Candace Cameron Bure as Stephanie Beck, is a staple from the 2013 Hallmark movie vault and is widely shown during the Countdown to Christmas. Maybe, like me, you watched it a few times this holiday season. For those who haven’t yet watched Let It Snow, here’s a quick summary: The movie… Continue reading Let It Snow…The Feast of Saint Thomas In Real Life
I got you there with that title right? Let’s just say these real life Hallmark adventures continue to surprise me. As I worked my way through my Christmas Getaway Best Christmas Ever To-Do List (see previous post here), things started out according to plan. I had success setting up a real Christmas tree (see previous… Continue reading Remember that time I hung out with Ruth Hill and met Paul Greene?
Christmas is upon us this week and I continue to check items off my Best Christmas Ever To-Do List (see previous post here).
