Call Us Mommy is a podcast for moms in the trenches of motherhood, new moms feeling a bit shellshocked, or seasoned moms looking for ways to support the younger mamas in their life. We’re here to create a community for all women, wherever they are in their motherhood journey.Aside from Mommy, you can also call us Ariel and Tianna. We’re two best friends who also happen to be business partners and using this podcast to shine a light on the joyful chaos of motherhood while reminding ourselves (and you) that we can do this. Between the two of us, since we began recording our conversations in 2021, we’ve been in all of the seasons at once, recovering from postpartum, learning to parent pre-teens, chasing toddlers, growing babies, and even nursing them. All while working from home in the midst of the messes.Ariel is a mom of 4, project manager, career assistant, and coach, married to her high-school sweetheart, and living in a small town in Indiana. Tianna is a former dental assistant turned career assistant and coach, a former single mom of 3 with one bonus babe and one on the way with her new husband living in a slightly bigger town in Indiana, all after escaping an abusive marriage in 2020. We met in 2015 at a church workout, both in the midst of postpartum with baby number 2 and with no idea of what our friendship would bring 5 years later. Our friendship evolved into life wives in 2020 when we merged our lives even more by starting Laptop + Littles, where we began showing other women how we work from home. We began working and doing life together almost daily until Tianna moved in with Ariel in 2022 after buying and flipping her house while she waited for her new build. Tianna met her now husband shortly after and the rest can be caught up on in our podcast episode “Tianna and Austin’s Story”. Now that we live in different towns, we miss each other every day but spend lots of time coworking on the phone or making the drive to co-work throughout the week. Call Us Mommy has been a perfect excuse to make that happen more than it might without having such an awesome community to show up for.Our goal for the Call Us Mommy community is to create a virtual village for all moms, all women, and all stories to feel supported in their journey. If you want to be apart, come hang, give us grace as we sometimes stumble through our words, or share our hardest moments and celebrate the wins with us! We’re so happy you’re here.

A Mom Group Chat: Limits in Motherhood for New Moms, Moms of Multiples, and Blended Families
Join our mom group chat to hear from 4 different motherhood seasons and experiences. We invited two moms joining us to talk through limits in motherhood (and life in general) and how it can create mom guilt, how we overcome feeling like hitting limits is our fault (spoiler, it's not) and for a few of these moms, how being social media influencers influences their motherhood.
The two moms joining the conversation today are Kelsey Chapman and Brie Matthews. Both of these ladies are new mamas, best friends and self-employed, business building women. They know exactly what it's like for their life to get hit with postpartum and have to re-discover who they are after entering motherhood.

Corporate Mama Finding Freedom in the Online Business World as a Virtual Assistant, Online Business Manager and More
Join Ariel + Tianna as we sit down with Kristi to talk about what working from home looks like for her, how the Virtual Assistant world got her there and her journey along the way. Kristi came from a comfy corporate job and decided during her pregnancy that she needed a change. She stumbled on Laptop + Littles and the lightbulb went off. She knew the Virtual Assistant role would take her where she wanted to go and she was determined to get there before having to return from maternity leave.
Kristi shares what those initial months looked like fresh in the Virtual Assistant role, taking on her first clients, cutting back on clients when her season of life demanded it, the imposter syndrome that can creep in...and how to navigate it all.
We love Kristi's story and seeing her thrive in her career now that she has taken control of it. Something we believe any mom can do with the right support.

Customer Reviews
Mom advice
These recent episodes have really helped me as a new mom. Whether it’s just planning out my day more or trying to get rid of stuff, they have helped me see what I could be! I have loved watching and listening to their families and lives growing in so many ways. These two women are just very inspiring.
So relatable and realistic!!
I absolutely love listening to these podcasts. As a new mom myself and struggling to get into the hang of things, they have helped me through so many things. They share personal information that is so relatable and realistic to many people. So thankful to be able to listen to their stories and feel that I am not alone. ❤️
WOW!!!
As a soon to be first time mom and work from home VA, I feel like I have finally found the spark to ignite my confidence and motivation to take control of my future. I have always wanted to pursue my many personal interests, but never felt I had the time or energy to do so outside of my everyday life as a teacher. Tianna and Ariel have become such an inspiration to me as I work towards become a Virtual Assistant. I have never felt so excited to come home from my long 7-4 workday to listen to them share their advice and knowledge, watch videos and take notes on how to better myself. Not only are they super down to earth and relatable, but they are an inspiration to those in situations similar to mine. I just want to be independent and hardworking girly (while also being there to see my children grow up) + these girls are proof that it is possible.
Love the podcast and truly enjoy listening to it 🤍
