BellyBallot Team

Lacey Moler

Co-founder

Lacey was born and raised in Texas, and has spent the majority of her life in Austin. After marrying the love of her life in April 2007, they began building their family in 2008. It was during her second pregnancy that she helped come up with the concept for BellyBallot after asking friends and family to vote on hand-written ballots for her favorite baby names. The idea blossomed from there, and BellyBallot now helps expecting parents all over the world involve loved ones on this joyous occasion. When she's not blogging and reviewing baby products, she loves maintaining an active lifestyle with her family (running, tennis, and barre!).

Lacey graduated Magna Cum Laude from SMU with a bachelors in Mathematics and Engineering Management Science. Prior to BellyBallot, she was a private equity analyst at a boutique firm in New York and a specialist within alliance services for a large IT consulting firm.

  • Favorite Food: Chips and Queso. I can never resist no matter how hard I try!
  • Best Part of the Day: Mornings for sure. The kids waking up with tons of energy, drinking coffee, and making breakfast!
  • Best Show on TV: Modern Family. It is so funny and honest. It just needs to be longer than 30 minutes.
  • Who Inspires You: My parents...they have been married over 30 years and going strong.

Editor

Lucie spent her childhood in the small town of Slavkov within the eastern region of the Czech Republic. She was an only child, but grew up surrounded by a large extended family (over 20 cousins!). From a young age, Lucie became passionate about British Literature and the English language. After finishing her degree she began consulting multi-national corporations such as Siemens, Opavia (Kraft Foods), and Hartmann, helping to apply advertising to the English language and educating employees as a teacher. Lucie became interested in etymology when she arrived in the US three years ago, and her research has helped contribute to the wealth of name information used on BellyBallot today.

Lucie attained her Masters Degrees in Education and Psychology, & English Language and Literature from the renowned Masaryk University in the Czech Republic. When not working, she enjoys yoga with her husband as a form of physical exercise and spiritual meditation.
