Gone too Soon

As many of you know from reading my status the past few days, I lost a dear, sweet friend in a tragic car accident. We have known each other for over 3 years, and met on a message board dedicated to those who had babies in March 2007. She had two daughters, Ava who is 2.5 and Audrey who is 1. I haven't been active on the boards in a while, but I don't know what I would have done without the ladies I met there while I was pregnant, and the first year of Violet's life. Emily is the same age as me, 25, and I now her husband has to raise those two little girls without their mother.

Although I never met her face to face, I feel like I know Emily personally, and the other girls on the board are trying to raise some money for Ava and Audrey and put it in a savings bond for them that they can use when they are older. This is where you come in. We have a friend that runs her own bath and body business where she makes homemade natural soaps. She has said that she is going to give 40% of her earnings until we get $2,000 ($1,000 for each girl). Her soaps are reasonably priced, and your purchase would be going to a great cause. So if you, or someone you know like homemade soap, go take a look.
