Cypress’ Newborn Pics {Molly Long Photography}

March 24, 2015 by Bethany Sy

I know I’ve been talking about my baby a lot lately… but you’ll have to give me a pass because I recently birthed her from my loins and I’m kinda obsessed with her. Nevermind the fact that I NOT ONLY waited 9 uncomfortable months to finally meet her, but we also worked our a$$es off to be able to pay for the fertility treatments that ultimately resulted in her cuteness.

So there’s that.

Cypress Jean {Sawdust and Embryos}

She’s weaseled her way into our hearts, and dictates our entire day… some days are productive, and some days we do a whole lotta nothin’. And that’s ok!

Cypress {Sawdust and Embryos}

Molly Long took these AMAZING pics of Cypress. Her work never ceases to amaze me. Somehow she magically makes unruly toddlers and fussy babies adorable little well-behaved model children. I sneaked this behind-the-scenes shot of Molly in action!

It was so fun to sit back and watch her work her miracles with lighting and angles and such. And feeling so honored that my squishy new baby is her subject!

Sawdust and Embryos

I made this flower headband THAT MORNING (using this tutorial) so Cypress would have a little accessory. The little floral print is from a piece of fabric that one of our readers (hi Laura!) send for the patchwork baby quilt… I just love it!

Baby Cypress {Sawdust and Embryos}

Molly took the twins’ newborn pics too, and we’ve been hooked ever since. I wouldn’t trust anybody else with my 8-day-old babe.

This project cost me less than $5 and gave me so m This project cost me less than $5 and gave me so much satisfaction! I’ve been enjoying this little corner of my counter for 6 months now, and I LOVE IT enough that I decided it needed to be a reel. You’re welcome! 😘
Hold finger on screen to pause and read! Making l Hold finger on screen to pause and read!

Making lunches is weirdly fun for me. So I snap a pic here and there to share and give ideas! Keep an eye on my stories for more! 🫶

I try to get at least one fruit and one veggie in there. For main dishes, some ideas besides sandwiches are: bagel, noodles with butter/parm, hotdog/bun, quesadillas, chicken nuggets, rotisserie chicken, ham/cheese rolled up in tortilla, and don’t forget about LEFTOVERS!!

My kids would rather have cold leftovers than a sandwich, so they don’t complain. But there’s also thermos containers if you love your kids more than I do. 

Don’t forget a sweet treat! This is a great way to get rid of Halloween or parade candy. 😬
Every summer, I learn a little more about gardenin Every summer, I learn a little more about gardening. This year I learned:

🥒don’t transplant cucumbers after they’re established or it’ll stunt their growth and they won’t climb your trellis
🥕till deeper for carrots so they aren’t short and fat
🥦plant cruciferous veggies earlier in the spring so they’ll have time to mature fully

 🙌Things I finally nailed: tomatoes, watermelon, basil, lettuce/spinach, strawberries, greenbeans. 

What did you learn this year? And what have you mastered?

@Dimetapp Cold & Cough is our go-to for itchy, stuffy, runny noses and coughs! And I love that it is alcohol free, trusted by pharmacists, and the kids love that the taste is actually sweet! No more spitting out yucky medicine, here. Exactly what they need to feel better, faster. Now we can finally get back to doing all of the things we love together, like getting crafty at home with some fun DIYs. 

What’s your next DIY project now that we’re all feeling better?!

Use as directed. @dimetapp #DimetappPartner #backtoourregularlyscheduledchaos
