Today was King's day for the first time sinds the queen Beatrix abdicated last year.
Her son is now the King of the Netherlands and therefore his birthday became a national holiday. Officially his birthday is tomorrow but it's Sunday. Can you still follow?? :)

H. had to work today so i was alone at home with our 9 months-old son.
I decided to celebrate King's day on my own way.
Since March i'm embracing the Weight Watchers lifestyle (with succes ;)).
Even on special occasion i can integrate it in my life.
Please find underneath my King's day brownie cupcake!
