My sister and I spent a whole day together last Saturday so we could get our Halloween fix! We did a Halloween craft, made no-bake peanut butter bars, and watched Hocus Pocus (for the 27845489364518764 time). Here are a few pictures from our day of Halloween fun!
No-bake Peanut Butter Bars:

I made the bars in a 9×9 pan rather than 9×13 so they would be a bit thicker. I got this recipe from Six Sisters’ Stuff’s blog! Go check it out! They have great recipes!

They turned out great! If you like Reese’s, you will LOVE these! They were so easy to make.
Halloween Silhouettes:
Unfortunately we do not have a Cricut or Silhouette (but I’d like one for Christmas, hint hint) so we googled “free Halloween silhouette print-outs” and found these. We printed them on card stock paper and then cut them out and mod podged them onto scrapbook paper that we purchased from Hobby Lobby. We bought these frames for $1 a piece from the Dollar Tree. This was a cheap, fun project that turned out really cute!

Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty facade is a town at war.
Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils…Pagford is not what it first seems.
And the empty seat left by Barry on the parish council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen. Who will triumph in an election fraught with passion, duplicity, and unexpected revelations?

Happy Ever After by Nora Roberts
Pages: 306
First Line: Grief came in waves, hard and choppy, buffeting and breaking the heart.
The Bride quartet series follows four best friends – Mackensie, Emma, Laurel, and Parker – through their love stories. When they played wedding day as children, they never dreamed they would one day own a successful wedding business named Vows. Happy Ever After follows Parker Brown, the ring leader of the four friends.
Parker Brown is extremely organized, prompt, and always put together, so when she falls for her brother’s friend and mechanic, Malcolm Kavanaugh, she is caught off guard. Parker has become very good at making others happy, but struggles when it comes to her own happiness and romance. She has a hard time figuring out Mal because he is not exactly an open book, but Parker figures out how to peel back the layers. Malcolm realizes that Parker has made him a better person and is the one he wants to spend his life with. At times their relationship is aggravating, and at others it’s amusing. This is a beautiful and honest love story of two people taking a risk and betting on love.
I was reluctant to start this book as I did not want this series to end. You fall in love with the characters and will feel like the girls could be your friends. If you have never thought about being a wedding planner, you will after reading the Bride Quartet. If you’re a hopeless romantic, you will love reading this feel-good series.
Peace, Love, and Books,
