When Calls the Heart Review and Giveaway (FlyBy Blog Promotions)

Disclaimer: This post was sponsored by FlyBy Blog Promotions. I received access to Season 2, episodes 1 and 2 for participation. No other compensation was provided.


About the series: (from media kit)


The series is inspired by Janette Oke’s bestselling book series about the Canadian West. “When Calls the Heart” tells the captivating story of Elizabeth Thatcher (Erin Krakow), a young teacher accustomed to her high society life, who receives her first classroom assignment in Coal Valley, a small coal-mining town where life is simple, but often fraught with challenges.

Lori Loughlin plays Abigail Stanton, a wife and mother whose husband, the foreman of the mine, along with a dozen other miners, has just been killed in an explosion. The newly widowed women find their faith is tested when they must go to work in the mines to keep a roof over their heads.
Elizabeth charms most everyone in Coal Valley, except Constable Jack Thornton (Daniel Lissing) who believes Thatcher’s wealthy father has doomed the lawman’s career by insisting he be assigned in town to protect the shipping magnate’s daughter. Living in a turn of the century coal town, Elizabeth will have to learn the ways of the frontier if she wishes to thrive in the rural west on her own.

My Review

I never saw When calls the Heart on Hallmark Channel. I normally watch sometimes in the morning for Golden Girls or that home show. Hallmark has a great range of family programming for all ages. When calls the heart reminds me of Little House on the Prairie or Dr. Quinn, Medicine woman. 

Season 2 premieres on April 25th, on the Hallmark channel. I did find a website, which has season 1, so I can catch up. The first episode starts out with a trial.

Signed, Sealed, Delivered Review Hallmark Channel (FlyBy Blog Promotions)

This post was sponsored by FlyBy Blog promotions. I was provided a sneak peak into an upcoming episode. No other compensation was provided.

About the show (from e-mail)

The new original series "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" is a wonderful combination of romance, comedy and drama that follows the lives of four postal detectives who transform themselves into a team of detectives to track down intended recipients of undeliverable mail. 

Their missions take them out of the office where redirected letters and packages can save lives, solve crimes, reunite old loves and change futures by arriving late but somehow always on time.

The team includes charming Oliver O’Toole (Eric Mabius), the group's leader is a man of faith who prayerfully approaches his work with the goal of making a difference in people's lives; new team member, Shane McInerney (Kristin Booth), a technophile who brings 21st century sensibility to the group; free-spirited, “girl next door” Rita Haywith (Crystal Lowe) who has a photographic memory; and lovable Norman Dorman (Geoff Gustafson), a master in conventional research methods.
The show aires SUNDAYS, 8/7c on Hallmark

My Review


I never heard of Signed, Sealed, Delivered before this campaign. What drew me in was the show was created by Martha Williamson, who was executive producer of Touched by an Angel. The show is about Shane, Oliver, Norman, and Rita, who are mailroom detectives. The staff helps reunite people with missing mail.

I had issues entering the secured site but I was able to obtain access last night. I been watching the show on repeat all day long. Toss in the rain and the episode kept repeating from the beginning. The episode also guest starred, Marilu Hemmingway, as the boss of the post office.

I was not hooked at first, since I never seen the show before. I was trying to get to know the character's names. Yet, as I continued to watch, I was impressed by the story line. The show starts off in an antique shop, where the owner finds a piece of missing mail, with the address torn off. The mail gets passed along to the mail detectives by Ms. Kimmie, a postal worker, who is competing in a Ms. Special Delivery contest. The show had two story lines: The Ms. Special delivery contest and finding the owner of the missing mail, which was a surprise.

The team hit a few road blocks before finding the owner of the letter, who longs to get married to her long-term boyfriend. Both the letter recipient and her boyfriend has down syndrome. And then, I was hooked. As a mother of two special needs kids, I was seriously hooked. The couple was in love and have been waiting almost 10 years to get married, but had challenges.

You can watch previous episodes, including last night's, "Future Me" episode on Hallmark Channel's website.
