She also does skit videos and product reviews. The LoraandLayton channel has thousands and thousands of subscribers and their "Perfect Labor and Delivery" video has over 2.5 million views, which led to a two page article about Ellis and her YouTube channel, in American Baby Magazine[2] .

The couple went on to win an international, Mashable Award in 2009 in the category "Most Inspring to Follow" [3]. “As the winner of the ‘Most Inspiring to Follow’ category in the Open Web Awards, LoraandLayton has been voted among the best of the Web in 2009,” Mashable CEO Pete Cashmore said in a press release[4] .
