About Us

        

After working my entire life outside of the home, in 2014 we felt called to become foster parents. Shortly after we received our second placement, a 3 year old girl and her 6 year old brother, I left the corporate world to stay at home. Fourteen children later, one adoption, one kinship addition and 5 years in the wind, this mama is tired! Earlier this spring when our two little boys were reunited with their mama, we decided we would take a little break from fostering and wrap around our 3 at home. For some unknown reason, I started down the crafting path and offered to help a friend with a project and I got hooked! I believe all good things come from the good Lord above, including my new found passion for creating some unique items. I have a lot to learn, but truly enjoy making quality items that others can enjoy.

        Now, onto The Restoration House. This is much more than the name of my business. Throughout our time fostering, we have experienced many, many different situations within the foster system. We have met many different people, many different lifestyles, many different workers, and witnessed and experienced much heartache. But we believe that his Grace is sufficient for ALL these situations and we also believe that His plan is for these families to be restored, not just reunified. We were so incredibly blessed to have the opportunity to walk beside many of our bio parents during the time their kids were in our home. The one constant we kept seeing was they had zero support system. Not only had they fallen so deep that their kids were taken, but they had no one to pull them out of the deep, dark hole they were in. Although we are not currently fostering, we continue to walk beside several of our former foster children and their families. This small business allows additional income to be able to do this and to help others in the foster adopt world who have needs. It takes grit, determination, and a whole lotta grace to walk this path, but this is a huge place of need in our society. This is going to be a marathon, not a sprint. And this is my starting point.........
