“Donut eat that too fast, because you aren’t getting any of mine!”👀 🍩As you may know, these two kiddos were born on the same day, two years apart. This has made birthdays a bit of a challenge but also allows for creating some extra special memories... and only having ONE PARTY! We have established the tradition of party one year, trip the next. Well we are in a party year, so... 🍩We had to do some creative planning because the kids both have large preschool classes and we have a large local family. Where could we possibly have this shindig that would fit everyone and not cost an arm and a leg? 🍩We decided to utilize our neighborhood park. It’s first come first serve, so we scouted it out today to see what kind of crowds it has at the time of our party. We found the perfect spot! And of course we needed a donut rehearsal for our Donut Birthday! #thebeautifulwandering #donutsdonutsdonuts #fresnoparks #neighborhoodpark #brotherandsister #birthdaytwins #judysdonuts

I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and share a bit about my purpose here. So if you don’t know me, I’m Kendall! 🙋‍♀️ I am married to my best friend, Rob, and am mama to two young kiddos that push me to my limit daily, but inspire me to grow and feel more love than I ever thought possible. I teach social studies at a public charter high school where I get to work with opportunity youth❤️. I am passionate about celebrating diversity, appreciating the world around us, and doing our best to do some good. I LOVE to travel but our big trips come only once or twice a year. So we try to find new things (usually just new to us😉) in our city of Fresno or nearby communities. When I started this account and blog I envisioned a place to share REAL family travel and local outing experiences: the good, the bad, and the ugly. Shortly thereafter @kluearls joined me and we had all kinds of big, creative plans. We dove in head first and became a bit overwhelmed with the pressures of a perfect picture, growing a following, and balancing screen time and family time in our own lives... all while being working mamas. So we took some time away from this account. I came back a month ago because I missed it and I needed an outlet. Somewhere to be creative and also to work through the day to day struggles. Writing about parenting and disastrous Disneyland trips has been cathartic and helps me process. And, if it helps you feel a little less crazy knowing someone else is going through the same thing, or if you are inspired to take your family somewhere new, then, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! Thanks for following along on this wild journey with me and my family! Happy Friday! #thebeautifulwandering
