For those who don’t know, my best friend and co-Moxie Girl, Kathy, is the brains and beauty behind the very popular child safety site for parents, SafeMama.  She also is the founder of it’s sister site, Lovely SafeMama, which provides eco-friendly beauty and personal care items for women, moms specifically.  This week, Kathy was featured on TodaysMama.com’ South Florida Mama “Dream Big” section. Yay, Kathy!

How did you accomplish [your big dream]?
A little bit of luck, some unforeseen circumstances and hard work. I was working at a big fancy consulting firm and was laid off right before 9/11. I knew it was my chance to pursue what I really loved. I started my own business designing websites that year and have been a self-employed entrepreneur ever since. I don’t regret that decision for a second. Now I am the co-owner of a popular design company Moxie Design Studios, a published author (I co-wrote The IT Girls Guide to Blogging with Moxie with my business partner Joelle Reeder) and the Editor of SafeMama.com and LovelySafeMama.com.

For those who don’t know, Kathy is the founder and editor of SafeMama.com, along with her general fabulousness here at Moxie. She was recently published on HealthyChild.org with an article about becoming a “green” mom and living a healthier, eco-friendly lifestyle.

It’s a really well-written article — I’m very proud!  I grumbled when I discovered my favorite conditioner could give me a tumor (ok, maybe a *little* tumor… a tumorlette, perhaps), but Kathy’s foray into green living for her family has impacted me as well. I pay more attention to those sorts of things and think, “WWKD?”    (She might throw something non-toxic at me for that.)

As I am currently bambino-free, I tend to frequent Safemama’s sister site, Lovely SafeMama, which features eco-friendly, health-conscious, natural beauty products.  So I better go find another conditioner…
