Christmas Lodge DVD Review & Giveaway!





      I la la LOVE Christmas time!  And I love films that get me in the mood for Christmas!  I know I know, it's not even Thanksgiving yet, but I'm known to watch the movie Elf in March, that's how much I love Christmas!  Silly I know.  That's how I roll.

      My family and I recently watched the sweetest new family holiday film by Thomas Kindkade called Christmas Lodge.  Along with me, both kiddos (7 & 10) absolutely loved it and were glued to the end.  The main character Mary, accidentally stumbles upon the Christmas lodge she visited as a child and decides to do everything she can to help restore it.  It's a story about family, friendship, a little romance and what it means to lean on the Lord for everything in life!  It's a great film for the whole family!

Synopsis
Thomas Kinkade presents Christmas Lodge: a place where a heart-warming past and loving future meet for one remarkable group of people. During a weekend trip to the mountains, Mary (Erin Karpluk) finds herself at the now- dilapidated lodge where she spent the holidays with her family growing up. She becomes determined to restore the building to its former glory. Inspired by her grandfather and guided by her grandmother in heaven, Mary throws herself into the project, and during the process finds herself drawn to Jack (Michael Shanks), a handsome man who loves the lodge as much as she does. Historically unlucky in love, this chance encounter allows Mary to renew her faith in life and discover her one true love. For an uplifting story about the importance of faith, family and the true holiday spirit, go to the Christmas Lodge. 

View the official trailer for the movie at IMDb, and purchase it on Amazon just in time for Christmas!

WIN IT!

Thanks to Propeller I have one (1) copy of Christmas Lodge to giveaway to one blessed reader!

Review & Giveaway: Brittany Hargest's "Love All the Way" CD Album!



Sometimes I love me some bubblegum feel-good pop music!  Especially when it's Christ/Christian based music!  Brittany Hargest's new album "Love All the Way" delivers just that!  There are 10 songs on the album, and they are all fun and upbeat!  I played this album and my 7-year-old daughter absolutely loved it too!  She danced and tried to sing along, it was really super cute!  And it made me feel good knowing there we no bad words or lyrics about inappropriate lifestyle choices or circumstances.  It's very fun dance music to lift your mood!




This is fun for us ladies, but I would also recommend it for teen girls as well!  It would make a great gift for that teenage girl in your life(daughter, niece, granddaughter, friends daughter, etc...)!  

Here are some links to check out Brittany Hargest's new album, and to follow her!

The Mighty Macs Film Review Screening - RELEASES TODAY!


The Mighty Macs movie releases today in theaters and it's the perfect film to take a girlfriend, sister, or mom to.  I had privilege of watching and reviewing the film before it's release thanks to Propeller.  Although the film has a slow start, it gradually picks up and the characters begin to grow on you.  




A little about the film:

It's 1971. Cathy Rush is a woman ahead of her time ... and she's about to embark on an adventure for the ages. A new era is dawning in the country and in collegiate athletics, where a national champion will be crowned for the first time in women's basketball.

In the lead up to this historical season, major universities are preparing their game plans to win that first title. Meanwhile a tiny all-women's Catholic college in Philadelphia has a more modest goal: find a coach before the season begins. Providentially, Cathy Rush is about to find Immaculata College.

Recently married, Cathy is dealing with the aftermath of a truncated playing career. While cultural norms would have her staying at home, she's willing to do the hard work necessary to help her new team reach their goals—or perhaps she's just trying to achieve her unfulfilled dreams through them.

From the beginning, her challenges are as imposing as the big-school teams Immaculata will face on the court. Cathy learns there is no gymnasium on campus, she receives little support from the school's Mother Superior, and the school is in dire financial straits. To top it off, she may not even have enough players to field a team!
While it appears the Macs don't have a prayer, all hope is not lost. With the help of Sister Sunday—a spunky assistant coach—and the support of a booster club of elderly nuns, Coach Rush creates a new game plan that just might bring the team—and the school—together.

Will this pioneer buck cultural norms and spur her rag-tag team to unexpected heights? Or will her hard-driving ways create a wedge between the coach and everyone around her? One thing's for certain: there's never been anyone like Cathy Rush at Immaculata!
