Laura Nicole (06:53):
Not that many, but mommy has helped almost 1 000
other mommies become virtualassistants mine other mommies
become virtual assistants, mindblown.
Our mind blowed everybody.
We were mind blown by thatstatistic.
If you met a mommy right, Ifyou met someone else's mommy who

(07:21):
was really sad because she hadno work all day and she really
missed spending time with herkids, what would you say to her?

Little Miss (07:26):
um, maybe just to check online and see if she
wants to sign up and pew.
She can get as much time as shewants with her family you mean
if she became a virtualassistant?
If she just kind of lookedonline and if I told her to and
ordered it and just kind ofbought it and just got into the

(07:50):
academy, you know, just kind ofworked it out so that way she
could spend as much time as shewant with her family.

Laura Nicole (07:58):
And still be able to make money to help support
her family right.

Little Miss (08:02):
Right.

Laura Nicole (08:04):
So do you think that what mommy does for work is
important?

Little Miss (08:09):
Yes, why?
Because it helps you help othermommies and it also lets you
make money without having toleave your family.
But it doesn't really matter,because your family leads you
every single day.

Laura Nicole (08:27):
What do you mean?
Like daddy goes to work and yougo to school, yes, right, but
we're able to have control ofour days, right?
Like if you are sick, you canstay home, yes, or if we want to
go do something special or havefamily come visit, then mommy
can just change her dayswhenever she needs to, right?
Yes, okay, what is somethingthat you think mommy is really

(08:52):
good at?

Little Miss (08:54):
Helping other mommies.

Laura Nicole (08:56):
Why do you think I'm good at it?
Because you've been practicing?
Oh, I've been practicing, right.
When we practice somethingreally hard, we get better at it
.
Yes, is there anything about?

Little Miss (09:09):
The superpower of practicing Like practice power.

Laura Nicole (09:14):
Oh, practice power .
I like that.
Do you think that practicepower is a good thing for
mommies who are becoming virtualassistants to have?
Yes, how is it going to helpthem?

Little Miss (09:27):
because if you practice makes perfect, but not
actual perfect, actually it doesmake it perfect, it makes it
perfect, so that way the othermommies can just kind of work
through it.

Laura Nicole (09:40):
They can work through it and make it work and
become a virtual assistant.
Yes, what is your superpower?

Little Miss (09:50):
Delicate earth power, delicate fire power,
delicate ice power and delicatewind power.

Laura Nicole (09:55):
So you have a lot of powers, is what I'm
understanding.

Little Miss (09:59):
But my most favorite power is delicate earth
power.

Laura Nicole (10:03):
What exactly does delicate earth power?

Little Miss (10:06):
do.
It is all of the powers.

Laura Nicole (10:11):
Okay, so are you going to use those powers when
you get older, or what do youthink you're going to do those
powers when you get older, orwhat do you think you're?

Little Miss (10:19):
going to do and be when you get older?
I have no clue.
A scientist.

Laura Nicole (10:23):
You're going to be a scientist.

Little Miss (10:25):
I also could be a princess that can turn into
anything.
Clueteen mermaids, like all ofthe magical things, and Clueteen
unicorn.

Laura Nicole (10:40):
Everybody understands that right.
Okay, so we're either going tobe a scientist basing everything
in fact, or we're going to be amagical princess who can turn
into anything, includingunicorns.
Did I get that right?

Little Miss (10:52):
no, it's also mermaids and unicorns, but
everybody better understand thatokay got it.

Laura Nicole (10:59):
I think everyone understands that.
Now, do you think you're gonnabe a mommy when you get big?

Little Miss (11:05):
yes, because I'm gonna have 15 children 15
children.

Laura Nicole (11:11):
Yes, holy guacamole.
Do you know how many kids thatis?
Yes, 15.
How in the world are you goingto support 15 kids when you're a
mommy?

Little Miss (11:32):
I'll be a virtual assistant saying I can also use
my powers and create lots ofmemes with my powers, so that
way I can work it out perfectlynice and smooth.

Laura Nicole (11:38):
Okay, so mommy has been a virtual assistant right
since you were a teeny, tinylittle baby, so I know that you
have no memory of when mommyused to go to work.
But do you remember what mommyused to do for work before I
became a virtual assistant?
Work at a restaurant.
Used to do for work before Ibecame a virtual assistant Work

(11:58):
at a restaurant.
You actually got to go eatlunch at the restaurant that I
used to work at when we were onour trip, didn't you?

Little Miss (12:02):
Yes.

Laura Nicole (12:03):
Was it fun to see?
Yes, was it funny to imaginemommy being there making people
sandwiches?
Yes, why?

Little Miss (12:13):
Because I just don't really think restaurants
really match your personality.

Laura Nicole (12:20):
That's interesting .
Did you know that when you werefirst born, mommy was actually
a teacher?
I was a college professor.

Little Miss (12:27):
No.

Laura Nicole (12:28):
You've never heard that.

Little Miss (12:29):
No.

Laura Nicole (12:30):
That's pretty crazy that you've never heard
that before.
You just thought I worked atrestaurants.
Yeah, yeah, mommy was actuallya teacher for about four years
before you were born.
Mine blowed.
So think back to when you werelike two years old, three years
old.

Little Miss (12:52):
When I was three years old I was kind of a
handful.

Laura Nicole (13:00):
Okay, so think back to when you were like two
and three years old and you usedto take naps all day and you
were home all day with me.
Who was the person who alwaysgot to put you down for your
naps?

Little Miss (13:10):
You, mommy.

Laura Nicole (13:12):
Me.
We got to do nap time andbedtime together every day, huh.

Little Miss (13:16):
Yes.

Laura Nicole (13:18):
That's pretty special that we got to be
together to do those things,don't you think?
Yeah, and we still do themtogether?
Yeah, we still do.
We've done them together yourwhole life.
But that doesn't get to happenfor a lot of mommies.
Do you know how special that is, how it's very special that
mommy was able to do my workfrom home and I could stop
whenever and come do nap timewith you.

(13:39):
Did it make you happy thatmommy gets to do?
your nap times and bed timeswith you.
Yes, very happy.
All right, girlfriend, I am sofreaking excited that you were
able to come on the podcast.

car on the way to school when itcomes out?

(13:59):
Yes, very cool.
It's gonna be your voice on thein the car too, not just
mommy's yeah, that's gonna be sofun all right, well, we are
getting ready to go.
We're gonna go hop in the poolfor a little afternoon swim, but

do this podcast with me and,honestly, it's just so surreal
to think that this is what ourlife is right now.

(14:45):
This is never what I would haveimagined my life or motherhood
to look like when I pictured itprior to getting pregnant and
prior to having her, but nowit's like I couldn't imagine it
any other way.
I could not imagine it anyother way than getting to be
with her for every nap time andevery bedtime, every bath time,
every big milestone and justeverything in between.

(15:07):
