heart to heart blog

Name: Kelly Voelker

Position at Graco: Brand Manager, Public Relations and Social Media

How long at Graco: Brand new!

My favorite kids: My cousin has a beautiful baby girl and another one on the way, so they are by far my favorite! Otherwise, I adore babies all around and can’t wait until I get to be a mom someday. Something about their tiny little features and how innocent they are just makes me burst into a smile.

Latest “wondrous” moment: My wedding! My husband, Mike, and I were married on Sept. 12, 2009 and I can’t think of anything more wondrous than that

You just have to know this about me: I LOVE food. Cooking, going out to dinner, trying new recipes, I love it all. To me, there’s nothing better than a delicious meal, a glass of wine and good friends to make a perfect night!

My favorite thing about being a parent: I know I’m not a parent yet, but I think my favorite thing will be to have a little someone to shape and protect and help them grow. The purpose it gives you to have such an impact on another life must be so incredible. I’ve been lucky to have an extremely close relationship with my parents and I hope I will have the same thing someday with my kids.

If someone said “Go to your Happy Place,” where would you go?: Outside on a porch with some great music and Mike sitting next to me.

The first thing I think of when I wake up is: I hope the sun is shining!

Favorite children’s book: The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein, – I think it has a great message.
