Doorbell cameras have captured so many iconic moments. From a UPS driver grateful for snacks left out at a home she was delivering at, to a new mom receiving heartfelt parenting advice from her mom during a visit, to an Amazon driver doing a solid for a woman looking to conceal her purchases from her husband--they do so much more than serve as a security tool.
And for first-time and working mom Hannah Bell, her doorbell camera has helped her create beautiful memories with her toddler, Landon, each morning she is away from home at the office. Bell shared with Newsweek, "I started consistently leaving for work before my son woke up in the morning, so we didn't get to see each other most mornings."
To make sure she knew Landon (who is 23 months) was thinking of her, Bell's husband George began to encourage Landon to leave his momma messages on their doorbell camera every time they left or entered the house. And she shared a sweet compilation of his messages to her with her followers on TikTok.
"I get so excited waiting for that doorbell notification 🥹💙," she captioned the video.
@hannah.l.bell I get so excited waiting for that doorbell notification 🥹💙 #toddlermom #boymom #doorbellcamera
In the doorbell camera, Landon tells his mom that he "loves her" and blows lots of kisses to the camera (usually while holding a sippy cup or snack) in the compilation, with her husband George doing the same. "Seeing the videos makes me feel so happy, loved, and missed," she told Newsweek. "It's so hard as a working parent to be away from your baby for most of the day, so those little videos get me through the day and remind me he is thinking of me. It is absolutely the highlight of my day. I wait all morning at my work desk waiting for the notification."
Bell told Newsweek that she is usually in the office three days a week now, and that Landon and George have been doing this thoughtful act of kindness for her for a few months. She added that her husband George also gets lots of love from Landon while away on work trips. "Sometimes my husband travels for work for multiple days in a row too and Landon, will talk to him on the doorbell too," Bell said.
The precious video got lots of loving responses from TikTokers who were touched by the heartfeltvideos. One wrote, "This is the sweetest thing ever! I hope he never stops doing this! ❤️" Another added, "🥹🥹🥹 ugh… I just cant."
Others praised her husband George as well. "What a good Daddy he has! ❤️," one shared. Another noted, "my husband holds my son up to the ring camera each morning since he's to[o] little to do this yet. melts my heart."
As a working mom, Bell has shared more about how she takes care of Landon with her followers. In a recent video, she showed off her work from home day with Landon in tow.

"We use[d] to wfh together multiple days a week, but haven’t done it in months. Today reminded me it’s not for the weak😅," she wrote in the video's caption. And many moms could relate. One commented, "I do it everyday with my 2 year old 😂😭," and Bell replied, "You go mamma!!👏🏻 I did it for 16 months but it’s been awhile now, and I forgot how draining it was 😅."
Megan didn't get the dance she thought she would, but got something better instead.
