AUTUMN DAYS IN THE LIFE | apple picking, pumpkin waffles, homemade apple pie, & a cozy movie night🍂

Hello friends, and HAPPY OCTOBER. I hope you all are having a beautiful autumn season so far. This weekend we venture out to an apple orchard, make a homemade apple pie, and have a cozy movie night. I had really low energy while filming this video so I didn't talk to the camera as much as I was hoping to but I hope you guys still enjoy it!
Also, this video was filmed before I saw the news coverage of how devastating Hurricane Helene was for so many people. I am praying for all of those who have been effected by the hurricane.♡
All the recipes to the meals prepared in this video are below.
