Happy Mother's Day Weekend, Friends!
To all the wonderful mommas, grandmothers, and mother figures out there- thank you for the love, wisdom, and care you give so selflessly. Wishing you all a beautiful, joy-filled, and very Happy Mother’s Day!
If you'd like to watch something special with your family on Mother's Day, the "When Hope Calls: Brookfield" finale episode airs this Sunday night on Great American Family! After a season filled with tender moments, quiet longing, and a few unexpected surprises, all eyes are on Brookfield as some of our favorite stories reach what could be life-changing turning points. Will Mountie Michael and Nora finally find the courage to speak the feelings that have been building between them, or will Michael’s duty as a Mountie pull him away from Brookfield just when love seems within reach? And for Hannah and Wyatt or Sam and Maggie, what lies ahead for them... romance, heartache, or perhaps a little drama before the credits roll? However it unfolds, this finale promises plenty of heart, hope, and maybe even a few surprises along the way.
There's also a new Hallmark Channel movie, All’s Fair in Love & Mahjong, premiering this Saturday. I wanted to note that the film has faced a bit of backlash from some critics for focusing the story on a traditional Chinese game while featuring only one actress of Asian heritage in a supporting role. I would love to know what you all think. I'm not personally familiar with the game, but I know it is currently quite popular among people of all colors and ethnic backgrounds across the country. Please share your thoughts, and if you plan to watch in comments below.

As we celebrate Mother’s Day, my heart is especially full of gratitude for my own incredible momma. She is beautiful inside and out, with a heart that is always loving, caring, and devoted to her family. I feel truly blessed by the constant love, strength, and kindness she pours into our lives each and every day. One of the things I admire most is her faithful walk with the Lord... she is a blessing, an inspiration, and a steady source of love in my life, and I am beyond thankful for her!!!!
And, as always... if you have the chance to watch the new movie or the finale episode of When Hope Calls: Brookfield this weekend, we'd love to hear your review!
Blessings to you all,
