Vomitrons Giggle and Hoot party

I wanted to host a party to celebrate the blessing bestowed upon me 12 months ago. Vomitron's 1'st birthday! It was meant to be small party, but the guest list kept increasing magically and we ended up with a 60 person party.

Giggle and Hoot is the only TV show he stops to watch. I have no idea why a blue screeching owl and a dancing lanky man are so appealing. I wanted to support as many wahm's as  could. So I began with My friend Kylie Jensen Graphic Design designed the invitations and stationary for us as a gift which were amazing!

We had a cake smash at the party. Cake was made vomitrons nanna who used fresh cream and no sugar. 

His top was a custom made gift by Little Pickers and pants by Al-Ee-Oh

We had a 'giggle gallery' arts and crafts table which was a smash hit! 

You can't have a party without a lolly buffet. The felt owls were created by Made by Y

Baked goodies from Vomitron's nanna who owns a bakery.

 The giggle and Hoot cake! The cake topper was made also as a gift by Kreative K

It was a great party, but oh so exhausting! Now back to the reality of Earthymamma and uni!

Almond Milk

As mentioned in earlier posts, Vomitron was nicknamed vomitron because of his awesome vomiting talents. everything that went in came back up until he was 6 months old and realised he might have a cows protein intolerance. So i cut down my dairy consumption as he is breastfed and stopped giving him any form of dairy for a week. Like magic the vomiting stopped! i no longer had to weigh the kid down with terry towelling bibs.

Although he can process cows protein much better now I still have to be careful. We breast feed during the day but night time feeds and when he is looked after by someone else he normally has formula. As he is a few weeks shy of approaching the big '1' i started looking into alternatives. Goats milk, rice milk and almond milk were my 3 narrowed down winners. So i began with almond milk.

Here is how i made almond milk:

soak 1 cup of almonds for 4-8 hours in water

place soaked almonds plus 3-4 cups of water (depends on how weak/strong you want it)

Whizz it all up!

Then strain the milk in a sieve or cheescloth material. If milk is to be given to a baby please use the cheese cloth to strain as the tiny bits of almond that went through the holes of the strainer will block the teat of a baby bottle. 

Ta dah! This is what you are left with 2 amazing products

To the left is Almond Pulp which i spread out on a try and toasted in the over to make almond meal

To the right is our almond milk! 1 cup of almonds and 3 cups of water made all that!

The Flavour is interesting and will take some getting used to but DS loved it! and took to it straight away!

The whole process took about 10 mins all up. 

Enjoy
