🎬 TV Series Review - Sullivan's Crossing


Just finished Sullivan’s Crossing Seasons 1–3 and y’all… I am SHOOK.

We’ve got a gorgeous red-headed neurosurgeon, a town so dreamy it makes me wanna sell the ranch,

and a man named Cal who could fix a fence, split firewood, and ruin every other man for me in one afternoon.

Oh — and the cliffhanger at the end? Ruder than serving unsweet tea in Texas.



Well butter my biscuit and pour me a sweet tea — Adapted from the New York Times bestselling novels by Robyn Carr, Sullivan's Crossing ropes you in faster than a cowboy at the rodeo finals. It follows the journey of a gorgeous, red-headed bombshell, Maggie Sullivan — a big-city neurosurgeon whose life is so perfectly planned you’d think she laminated it. But then, BAM! Stepdaddy Walter pulls a boneheaded move that lands her smack dab in some unexpected legal trouble. And let me tell you, sugar, this wasn’t the fun kind of unexpected like finding queso in the fridge.

To make matters messier, Maggie’s tied to a weenie of a doctor — bless his little stethoscope — who she doesn’t even seem to like, but is still ridin’ life’s trail with anyway. So what does our gal do? She hightails it outta Boston and heads for her childhood home of Sullivan’s Crossing, a downright drool-worthy campground in Nova Scotia run by her estranged daddy, Sully.

Now Sully… oohhh Sully. The kind of man who makes you wanna jump through the screen, wrap him in the biggest Texas hug, and feed him chicken fried steak ‘til he forgets every bad thing that’s ever happened to him. And that town? Lord help me, it’s so picturesque I nearly cried into my sweet tea that it’s fake. If it were real, I’d hitch up my horse, bedazzle my boots, and ride off into the sunset to get me a little cabin by the water.

Of course, this ain’t all campfires and marshmallows — Maggie’s gotta wrestle with her messy present and lasso her painful past. Along the way, she stumbles into the arms of one Mr. California — or as the show calls him, Cal — a man so fine you’ll be fannin’ yourself with the TV remote. The man could split firewood, fix a flat, and make you rethink every decision you’ve ever made, all before breakfast.

Now here’s where I nearly spit out my Coke — I watched Seasons 1 and 2 thinkin’ poor Sully had gone up in smoke in that fire. Next thing I know, Season 3 comes along and BAM — there he is, right as rain, lookin’ just fine. I don’t know if I dozed off or if my jumbo margarita was a little too margarita, but somehow I missed that twist. Thought about rewatchin’ to figure it out, but honey, life’s short and queso waits for no one.

Season 3 ends and wouldn’t you know, they leave me danglin’ like wet socks on the clothesline. Outta nowhere, this mysterious man shows up — and the look on Maggie and Cal’s faces? Lord have mercy, you’d think somebody just told ‘em Buc-ee’s was closin’ early. I don’t know what in the bluebonnet-blazin’ hell Miss Maggie was thinkin’ when she drew up her “perfect life plans,” but it’s clear somebody forgot to sprinkle in a little common sense.

If you haven’t watched it yet, saddle up, buttercup — you’re in for small-town drama, a hunk who can make your heart gallop, and enough twists to keep you hollerin’ at your TV. And when you get to the end of Season 3? Well… don’t blame me when you’re sittin’ there, jaw on the floor, wonderin’ if Maggie’s about to get herself into a whole heap of new trouble.



Cast: Morgan Kohan, Chad Michael Murray, Scott Patterson, Tom Jackson, Andrea Menard, Lindura, Reid Price, Amalia Williamson, Dakota Taylor, Allan Hawco



🎬 Until next time… Wishing you Love, Light & Sparkles,

🌸Mom's Journals, entry #1

My dad recently found two journals that belonged to my mother and gifted them to me—what a treasure!  S he often wrote positive messages and quotes on index cards and placed them strategically throughout the house. I never knew, until today, that she also kept journals filled with these quotes and messages. I've decided to share the wonderful and inspiring entries from her journals with you. I hope you enjoy reading them and that they bring you inspiration or teach you something new. I'll be posting one page at a time, so I hope you'll keep checking back for more.
