Crown For Christmas

Danica McKellar pulls off what I say is my new favorite Hallmark movie. Crown for Christmas just debuted on Thanksgiving, and it certainly won me over. A hotel maid suddenly finds herself half way across the world to take on the job of being a nanny, but a nanny to whom? A royal princess! How exciting, right? Not… Princess Theodora ends up being a brat who has chased off every nanny, and plans to add McKellar’s character, Allie, to her list. Will Allie be able to pull it off the job or just be another name on Princess Theodora’s list?

Family For Christmas


Is that Gretchen Wieners? Yes, it is! Famous for her role as Gretchen in the classic movie Mean Girls Lacey Chabert is definitely a member of the Hallmark family as she premieres in yet another great Hallmark movie. Lacey plays a woman named Hanna Dunbar who is a thriving news anchor with minimal time for dating or even thinking about a family. While passing a dressed up Santa on the street Hanna makes a comment wondering what life would be like if she had married her high school sweetheart Ben Matthews. Hanna wakes up in the morning to find her thought having come true. Will Hanna be able to escape her wish and return to a life of cameras and scripts, or will she fall in love with Ben all over again not to mention their two daughters?

A Christmas Detour


Candace Cameron Bure is known for starring in a new Hallmark movie each year, and this year’s movie was no exception to how great she is! A Christmas Detour is about Bure’s character, Paige, who is flying to NYC to meet her fiancé’s parents for the first time. A huge snowstorm hits and Paige is stranded in an airport with the annoying guy that was seated next to her on the plane. Will Paige ever make it to New York?

A Very Merry Mix-Up


Alice, who is played by Alicia Witt, is on her way to meet up with her fiancé’s family for the first time when her phone gets damaged, and the airline loses her luggage! She bumps into a guy who she believes to be her fiancé, Will Mitchum’s brother, and rides to his house with him. With no available contact with Will, Alice settles into the house with whom she believes to be her future in-laws, but what will happen when Will finally returns her call to find out she’s with the wrong family? Make sure to watch and find out!

Christmas Under Wraps

Last year’s Christmas Under Wraps, was certainly a hit for Candice Cameron Bure and David O’Donnell. Burke plays Dr. Lauren Burnell who needs an out-of-the-box residency for her resume. When the only place left to go is a small remote town in Alaska, will she be able to adjust? Will O’Donnell’s character Andy help make Dr. Burnell's stay easier, or will his secret put her over the edge packing?

A Cookie Cutter Christmas

Erin Krakow plays a school teacher named Christie Reynolds. While she is trying to impress one of her student’s widowed father she finds herself accidentally entering a cookie bake-off against a co-worker with the same plan. Will Christie be able to win the cookie competition and win the heart of James? Or will her and her cookies slowly crumble in defeat? Yes, it’s a little corny, but isn’t that why we love Hallmark movies?

Snow Bride


In Snow Bride, Katrina Law plays Greta Kaine, a tabloid reporter whose next big story is all about a Senator’s family staying in town for the holidays. Are the Senator’s sons dating? It’s Greta’s job to get the scoop. Coincidentally, she gets lost in the woods and stumbles upon a cottage where Ben, one of the senator’s sons, was staying. While becoming the family’s guest for Christmas can Greta really open up about who she is, and write the article that can solidify her career, or will love triumph instead?

Merry Matrimony


Jessica Lowndes plays a young woman named Brie who has landed a job organizing the perfect Christmas wedding. This assignment is everything Brie has worked so hard for, and could land her the promotion she so desperately seeks. But will it all get messed up when her ex-boyfriend Eddie, a phenomenal photographer, get paired up together? Can Brie and Eddie work together as partners, or will their feelings for each other come back and jeopardize everything they’ve worked for?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
