Private Session - inspired by van Gogh

Saturday, we were honored to teach another fun private session. The attendees were great! Since the group was large, we decided to dedicate the entire class to a painting project inspired by Vincent van Gogh's Yellow Wheat and Cypress. Below are some highlights from the day...


Our host had the most beautiful space, a light-filled sunroom, where we sat up studio. Like at every session, by the end of class we were blown away by how gorgeous (& different) each completed work turned out. It was such a fantastic day!

Family Night @ Earth Fare: activity book



More from our trip to Earth Fare...we decided to give all the kids activity books that went along with our theme of a happy, healthy new year. We took a 3 prong approach to this in the activity books by focusing on making healthy decisions for the body, mind & spirit. Sounds simple enough, right? 

Well try breaking that down for children AND making it fun at the same time! :) Luckily, you don't have to. You can download & print your copy of the activity book below. Illustrations by Lisa, design & text by Molly.

It really was great watching the kiddos color the activity books together, & read the words on the pages to the younger ones! And how excited would your little one be to know that they have their very own activity book made by mom or dad? Which is why we are excited to share this book!

How to:

step 1: download it here
step 2: print it
step 3: bind it (we stapled the books + hole punched them)
step 4: (optional) decorate it with fun ribbon

ps: see more Twice Inspired downloads here

Family Night @ Earth Fare: live painting

Last night we teamed up with Earth Fare at Brier Creek for their Family Dinner Night. In keeping with the season, we decided on a healthy lifestyle theme that included Molly giving out Twice Inspired activity books, titled "A Happy, Healthy New Year," & some live entertainment provided by Lisa.
The beautiful, fresh produce at Earth Fare inspired us to no end. Isn't it gorgeous?
Lisa arranged some of her produce finds into a still life. 
And while the kiddos colored in their coloring books & entered a raffle to win Lisa's finished painting, she painted away. People came over to admire, observe & ask questions. It was so much fun!
So, there it is! Nice, huh? Stay tuned for our next post on the activity books. Watching the children pass them around & the older ones read the text to the younger ones was really really something.
