Restored Events for February
Coffee Chat
Thursday, February 6, 2025 | 8:30 AM - 9:30 AM
What to Expect: Restored Coffee Chats are designed to be an informal and intimate virtual gathering for faith-interested moms in the workplace. Whether you’re close by in N.C. or miles away in another state, you can find your people right here. This month, we’re talking about 2025 priorities for yourself, your family, your faith, and your work.
Feel free to participate as much or as little as you'd like. There's no pressure to join the conversation. This virtual, one-hour event gives busy moms an easy way to connect with like-minded moms. Please register in advance, as space is limited to keep the group small. Grab a cup of coffee or tea, and join us Feb. 6 at 8:30 a.m on Zoom.
Galentine’s Night
Thursday, February 6, 2025 | 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Tell your husband he's on kid duty so you can learn more about sex, and he may just push you out the door! Join us for a fun Galentine’s Event at CharleyMadelyn in Apex! Allison Cain and Melissa Bell, hosts of The Sinner & The Saint Podcast, are addressing intimacy in marriage - and it's going to be a spicy one!
It's the perfect time to grab a girlfriend and talk about things that often go unsaid in Christian communities. PLUS, you get a discounted shopping pass to CharleyMadelyn, a fun swag bag, wine, snacks, helpful resources, and some much needed time with the girls. This one will fill up, so register soon!
Doors open at 6, and speakers begin around 6:30 p.m.

Coworking Club
Wednesday, February 19, 2025 | 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM
What to Expect: Coworking Club is a casual way to be socially productive. We meet monthly at Blush Cowork for three hours and work at the same table. Our designated table is marked to help people find us, and we typically have several women join us. You can stay for as long or as little as you like. Blush Cowork provides several meeting spaces in case someone needs to have a private meeting or take a break from the group's chatter.
Coworking days are free, thanks to Blush, and although Restored moms are intentionally gathered from 9 a.m. to noon, you can enjoy the space all day. The atmosphere is very informal – some attendees come in workout clothes because it's their work-from-home day, while others are dressed for work meetings. It's a nice change of scenery from the usual workspace. Blush Cowork has coffee, flavored water, and snacks (for purchase) + childcare services available for $12.75/hour/child for non-members. Please email alison@blushcowork.com to reserve childcare (no drop-ins accepted).
