happy birthday

So today this little blog is celebrating it's first birthday.  I know.  They grow up so fast.

I was planning on throwing a bit of a party to celebrate, you know with cake and champagne and all that good stuff.   I even had a crack at blinging up a candle, just like this one that I saw over on  pinterest

But just quietly, I don't think crafting with a hot glue gun and teeny tiny crystals is my strong point. ...

So I put the stupid hot glue gun down and did what any normal mother/blogger would do.  That's right.  I had a drink.  Or two.

Don't panic, I didn't have an apple martini with a Budweiser chaser.  

The Bud belongs to Scott.

Now I don't normally condone drinking as a way to solve your problems,

but lovely readers, those two martini's went down a treat and made me realise that a blog's first birthday, which happens to also fall on the day that we celebrate the Queen's Birthday, doesn't require crappy blingy candles or a cake.  No, it requires all attention to be directed towards The Queen.  

And when your good friends send you pictures like these:

with the words "this sounds like something for your hardcore royalist self"

you take up that challenge and you take it up hard.

So Lovely Readers, this is how the K&Co. blog celebrated it's First Birthday....

with a hardcore celebration of the Queen's Birthday and Diamond Jubilee.

Because let's face it, I've always thought of myself as a bit of a Princess.

So there we have it.

One year down...not sure how many to go?

How about you?

Did you do anything exciting this weekend?

Tell me everything....
