someone just woke up from their nap she was a little upset but i think she's feeling better
there you go we did our morning walk already and she had her nap and i think we're gonna actually
go to an apple orchard which i've been maybe once years ago with my niece and nephew so i haven't
actually been for a very long time and i thought it'd be really fun to take sage and it's not too
cold out today i want to go before it starts to get like frosty and stuff but i just want to get
into the spirit of fall i feel like i'm just not i haven't been embracing it fully i realized we're
kind of matching today in the animal print but before we hop in i just want to say a huge thank

things to leave the house i'm just grabbing a couple of snacks that i meal prepped for sage
just to take on the go so she can have a little lunch i have these little baby falafels that
she really likes and i also made these baby cookies so i'm just gonna grab a couple of
them to take on the go with us for some snacks and like a light lunch until we get back home
falafel mama
this girl just unzoot the whole thing could you please
okay so we got our burlap sacks and these are the priscilla ones so apparently they're sweet
see this is where the good apples are we went all the way to the end
where i feel like no one is and there's definitely better apples here but we're
just happy to be outside we're just saying like even if we don't get that many apples
like we don't care i do want to get seiji picking some though you want to pick an apple
it's an apple
wow right off the tree you want to put in the bag it's just like oh apple put in the bag
look drop it in with the rest of the apples yeah drop it there you go we'll get another
one she's really into it what do you want to make applesauce get that one
this is definitely where the good apples are okay she's double fisting oh so many good apples
so many apples drop it
look watch mom
drop it drop it look play in the big
that one in there put that one in
put that one in
put it in put it
hey can i give it to daddy
oh
daddy's head
that's a good one we're gonna take that one all right filled up a whole bag i don't know
i think she said ten pounds fits in one of these so i think that is a lot of apples
she's fascinated by like the uh the butt end of it i don't even know if that has a name
got my baby of apples here strapped in
trying to cram a cookie in my face i'm on a diet we look so fall today sweater weather
so it is the next day seiji is having a little cookie hey she is a part of no nap team
yes no nap she skipped her morning nap so yeah you did um so yesterday was so much fun apple
picking and stuff and it was just like cool to do as a family we were actually talking about this on
the way back home but it was just like if only we knew what it'd be like now like a year later
because sage is going to be almost one and this time last year like we were there's just like a
lot of unknowns oh this time last year i think we were both like nervous of what was to come um you
know she was like we were in that last month before the baby comes i think there's a lot of
yeah just a lot of uncertainty at that point yeah and like you know i hadn't given birth
yet and what was that going to be like and what was it going to be like adding another member to
the family and any big life change i think it's just really scary before you know like the ending
or how it's going to turn out and that's like with everything because i know it's not just like about
starting a family it's like starting a business like if i look back to when i first started
health and nutrition you know first off what i thought it was going to be was more like me doing
consulting and being a nutritionist and stuff and like now you know i'm able to like work from
home we have a team i'm able to be a stay-at-home working mom with sage mats on pat leave and like
it's just i if only i had known how things would turn out i probably would have been like even more
motivated but it was definitely like a bumpy road and stuff getting to this point and even just like
getting cashew like getting a dog she's like right here she's right beside us yeah there's definitely
some times where it's like oh man what do we get in for now with like cashew you just think like
man how how awesome is it to have a dog but at the time before getting into something unknown
there's always like the what-ifs right it was just us and we were only like responsible for
taking care of us and now it's like where's cashew staying is someone home gonna be home to feed her
and stuff and i feel like it was really good practice for starting a family and also just
like adding like another member to our family like anything we would do like go to the beach or
go to a park or go for a walk like it was always more fun with cashew and i know before we got her
i've had so many people be like you know it's like having a permanent two-year-old bubble and it kind
of is but they're just like you're never gonna be able to do anything and leave the house and like
it's been such if i had known what our life would be like with the dog
i would have gotten a dog sooner but i do feel like we got her at the like the perfect time
that we did yeah because we had gotten this house and you know even getting this house and
moving away from the city and into the suburbs there was a lot of like once again unknowns and
i was just like am i gonna like living in the suburbs i was happy to be closer to family but
um okay can we not put the whole cookie in your mouth please
this time last year is when matt was starting his channel which is so crazy because now you
post videos every single week and this is actually a segue to today's sponsor capital one canada who
are sponsoring this video and it's just such a full circle moment that we get to work together
on the same campaign yeah it's pretty crazy and what's really cool okay all right sagi went down
for her nap she was getting a little cranky oh yeah yeah so she's got matt's temperament
and what's really cool is they have this tool called quick check from capital one and it
basically gives you a hundred percent certainty to know which of their credit cards you will be
approved for before applying and without hitting your credit score which is huge i gotta say that's
a pretty big deal i mean well growing our real estate business and portfolio i've applied for
lots of credit in my time one of the things i always hated was applying for something
and then you know hitting my credit score and then not actually getting approved for which which has
happened before in the past so if i was able to know ahead of time before even applying that i
was going to get approved for something it would just save me probably a lot of stress and a lot of
headache it just helps with the planning process to know okay yeah we have this credit to use
and then kind of go on with like whatever you're looking to do and like you need credit
for everything buying a house renting a house getting a car like any big life's milestone event
like credit is so important and i used to think like oh if i just don't have credit like it's
great i'm not gonna have any debt or anything but like no credit is actually bad credit it's almost
worse right because like you have no it's like your resume of how good are you with money like
good with handling money paying off money and fun fact which is so funny because when they reached
out to work with us they they were like is that a true story i'm like yeah it's actually true
capital one was my first credit card ever it was a green card with a little ladybug on it and i
remember the feeling i got when i got that credit card it was like this responsibility and ownership
and i felt just like more empowered to be able to handle my finances and like also learn how to
do it like use credit pay off the credit and i feel like those are things that like because i
started so young too it's like kind of you know ingrained in you yeah and and then that ingrains
it into my brain every day so it's really cool you guys should definitely check out the
tool i'm going to link it down below for you guys to learn more about capital one's quick
check tool oh and matt is actually going to be doing a video on his channel so make sure you
subscribe to his channel i'll link it down below as well and it's gonna be a great video yeah it's
gonna be good i'm gonna be in it too so hopefully we don't kill each other by the end of it um no i
feel like we do good when we film videos together yeah we just cut out we just cut out all the oh
now on mine so now we're just doubling yeah more and more but it's been fun but yeah we
are gonna go go pick up some pumpkins because i want to decorate the front porch i'm like i'm in
full festive fall mood lately so i want to mark her marshall than me i know matt we picked up
a bundle bayless straw yeah matt's like where is that going and so much but the guy even
like wrapped it up so it didn't make a mess in the car but like matt's face like the guy was
like uh is this going in your car and he's like what like is it yeah throw it in there why not
yeah i want to decorate with the straw and get some pumpkins and stuff and you know just get
into this i complain but when it's done i enjoy it you love it i know i know some of those things
like oh i complained at the time it's like decorating the house and anytime someone comes
over like let me show you around like you didn't decorate anything so you you enjoyed the after
you just complained during the process yeah exactly all right let's go shop for some pumpkins
these are the cool ones we're just at a pumpkin patch
farm i think these are called the cinderella ones okay i think we're gonna grab a couple
of these there are some yellow ones there but they don't look so great
because she's helping me out so i'm trying to figure out which combination
of like pumpkins and the mums i am gonna put one mum in that pot
so i have all the apples that we picked up from the orchard i'm gonna make i think some
apple sauce i have the recipe on my blog i'm gonna make some of that and then maybe even an apple pie
or like apple turnovers i'm not sure yet um i also ended up going to a farmers market on the
way back and we got some mushrooms some yellow squash sweet potato which we cooked up some
for breakfast already a spaghetti squash and then these are actually stuff from our garden we
have tons of tomatoes some peppers which is really cool that we actually have grown our first peppers
this year that did not die so definitely using up this last bit of garden produce
and making some yummy things this will probably be used for i have this like
instant pot chicken rice and mushroom dish that i may feature on the vlog soon i'm going to start
using up these apples so i can bake them into some delicious stuff before they go bad
so i'm making applesauce today and then i think in a couple days i'll make i don't know should i make
apple pie or apple turnovers i was thinking about making a recipe for my cookbook i'll show you
so i have these strawberry rhubarb hand pies basically another name for turnovers and they're
so good and i feel like i could also make them with apples that's what they look like on page 196
and the do they look like fancy but they're really really easy so i might make those this week
i wanted something fun to make with the apples a super simple ingredient so i'm
just going to probably swap the strawberries and rhubarb the same amount for chopped apple
and then probably just add in some cinnamon to it so maybe i'll show that in like a future
vlog i feel like that's the best dessert to make out of this i mean i could also make
my cherry almond jubilee galettes these guys i could also make that with the apples but i
think the hand pies will be really really good so that is going to be on our menu plan this week but
i'm going to make some apple sauce i'm double batching my recipe this recipe is on my blog
and i'm going to double batch it because i've been really enjoying it and so has sage and this is
just like an easy recipe to add to pancakes yogurt eat as is there's just so many things you can do
with applesauce you can bake with it but it's just delicious right off the stove and it's so easy to
make it's my two ingredient applesauce recipe and it's like 20 minutes to cook up and you're
just blend it and you're done i'm switching to a vegetable peeler this is so much easier this guy
is like one of my must-have kitchen gadgets i'll link them below just like makes it such a breeze
it has like kind of a safe guard so it hits your hits your palm
so i'm just going to bring it to a boil and then i will lower it and simmer for 20 minutes
cj is having her dinner
is that good
all right the apple sauce is ready smells so good in here so i'm just gonna pop a lid on
and then we got applesauce for the week i am just gonna put some laundry away and i think we're
gonna go for a little walk before dinner time but i want to thank you for watching today's vlog
