The Way Home Season 4 Episode 10, "Ahead By a Century," had the impossible task of wrapping up four seasons of time travel, family mysteries, and enough emotional baggage to fill the Lingermore tunnels - and somehow it mostly pulled it off. Along the way, the finale reminded us what's most important, giving several characters one last chance to say the things they needed to say and spend a few mor...

Every once in a while we feel compelled to talk about things other than Hallmark. And thus, Last to the Party was born. Last summer we took it all of the way back to the beginning and recapped Summer House Season 1. This summer we're talking about the first episode of the currently airing show In the City.

This week on Girls Gone Hallmark, we're reviewing the Lifetime romance When I Said I Do starring Sarah Drew and Eric Johnson. Going in, Wendy fully expected a classic Lifetime thriller - because let's be honest, Lifetime has trained us to expect felonies, not romance.

This week’s The Way Home Listener Mailbag 5 is packed with passionate defenses, growing frustration, and one very humbling realization that Megan and Wendy apparently know absolutely nothing about Canadian geography.
