A new soap dispenser - Show and Tell Friday

 

Welcome to Show and Tell Friday! 

 

 Before I get to the little thing I'm sharing this week, I have some good news to share! 

 

 I mentioned before that I was in training to become a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) and I'm happy to say that after 30 hours of training, I was sworn in by the judge on Tuesday!  For those that don't know...I will explain it as quickly as I can. It's a volunteer opportunity to work with kids in Foster Care.  A CASA is an advocate for the child. You spend time with them (2-3 hours a week) and you also are in contact with their social worker, their teacher, etc. You are a volunteer advocate for the child.  Your write reports to the court about them. You go to court when they have hearing about their case (about every 6 months, up to 18 months). 

 

A child in Foster Care has many people in their lives that are being paid (social workers, attorneys, etc.) but a CASA is just there because they want to be a volunteer advocate for a child! It's probably the most fulfilling volunteer opportunity out there! If you love kids and have the time I would strongly suggest looking into it! You can really make a difference! 

 

My next step is to read some cases and pick the child I want to be an advocate for.  That should be happening very soon! I could go on and on but I won't because I'm sure about 90% of you haven't even read this far but if you have...thank you!!!

 

On to the material things...but these days, even though I like beautiful things, they just aren't as important to me any longer but I did buy a cute little soap dispenser at Marshalls the other day. It has hand soap in it now but I plan on using it my kitchen for dish soap. I've been on the look out for a cute dish soap dispenser for years and I finally found one!  It was only $7.99! 

 

Since I'm slowly switching to aqua colors it was perfect!
