As a teen who has struggled a lot at home, it makes me really happy to see how happy your kids are. You're a great mom, and don't let anybody tell you otherwise. edit: ty for all the likes! starting to think the trauma was worth momentary clout lol
I can’t stop replaying Maisy’s little echoey “ah”. It’s cracking me right up. Her face while you were talking is hysterical. She’s a tiny little trip. 🥹
When Flynn said the moth’s name was ‘No Flying’ I just busted out laughing! 😂 The innocence & honesty of sweet babies! 🥰 Edit : Flynn is so fearless! I love it!
Tortilla talk question: My daughter was born only 2 shorts months after your twins and we discovered she will need surgery shortly. How did you prepare for Wesley’s surgery as a mom and there is anything advice you can give to get through it on the mom side. I struggle with a lot of anxiety and finding it hard to keep it in perspective.
Tortilla talk question- what’s Flynn’s FAVORITEEEE bug that he has owned! Such as the butterflies, the muffs, cockroaches, etc?! I love how much flynn loves insects!
I like how Colleen mentioned how she doesn’t like how the texture of certain types of watermelon are but then takes a bite of the watermelon and says “this is so good” 😂
I actually know what she means. If it’s overripe it’s soft and smooshy. If it’s perfectly ripe it’s crunchy and flavorful and if it’s under ripe it’s actually flavorless or bitter. But the soft overripe part to me is gross too.
Praying for you that your camera gets returned to you! Colleen, I will forever be grateful that you are here and have put a smile on the faces of so many people, myself included. Hope that you had a wonderful time at the ranch, Happy Birthday Duncan and Parker, as always, keep up the wonderful work.
Watching Colleen’s vlogs have helped me so much. I just graduated college and after how hard it was (family moving across the state, Covid, other world atrocities that occurred) I’ve been thrown into the most scary and lonely part of my life so far. Colleen talking about how she feels like she’s talking to real people reminded me that that’s why I like her vlogs so much, its like a conversation. I’m sitting right now eating dinner alone but I feel so much better watching her ramble about her life because it’s like catching up with a friend and I’m so grateful for it. So yeah that’s my mushy comment for the day.
@emma b Hi, friend! How was dinner? What did you have? I just finished some pasta with grilled zucchini! I live alone, too…sometimes it’s so hard to cook for just one person, but at least I have leftovers for lunch at work tomorrow!! Anyways - luv ya, friend 💜✨💕you rock!!
TTQ- Are there any things that the kids are doing that you or Erik’s parents have said reminds them of you guys when you were little? Or things that the twins are doing that Flynn did as well? I love you and your family! Keep killing it queen! You are an amazing mama to those kiddos!
Colleen, I 200% understand what you mean when you say “us” like the group of us that watches every day and understands, cause I feel the same way. For some of us, you get us through hard times just as much as we’re there for yours. I hope you know we value you just as much as you value us. As someone who has struggled with dermatillomania my whole life, you are the only other person I can name who has it and has been open about it, and knowing I’m not alone in this has been such a comfort, especially with how much I look up to you. I can’t wait to see you in Boston in august! -Rach
Well I may be seeing you in San Antonio and not Boston but other than that, I agree with her comment 200+%! I feel like I'm hearing from a dear friend when I watch your vlogs and feel like I'm talking to the same friend when I leave a comment! It doesn't seem to matter that we've never met .... until August 27th that is!!!!! Can't wait!
I just adore the way you talk to us Colleen, I feel like we're friends even though we've never met! thank you for giving us these vlogs and thank you for being real, vulnerable and honest, that is very rare to find
literally don't know what I'd do without you man, I've had a really bad night and this is exactly what i needed, you are a friend and saviour to so many you need an award. can we create an award? let's create an award.
day two of saying: WE NEED AN ALL COLLEEN SHOW!!! live tortilla talks, watching you sing your favorite musicals and just a vlog with a live audience! everything you do on your vlogs with the same audience but you get to see us :))
What does it say about me that when I read your comment, I thought YES!! Great idea!! Then literally before that thought had left I was thinking, ABSOLUTELY NOT!! She is our secret and we aren't sharing her with everyone else 😂 smh..I think I might be overly attached
You could do the same toddler song but instead of sad you could do happy! All the random funny things that made his day! Like eating a super worm . . . Haha Love you guys!
😂😂 I love how flynn is eating the crickets and enjoying them. I am part of a hispanic household and we eat chapulines (grasshoppers) people eat them in certain parts in Mexico. They are grasshoppers that are like cooked and then are like sour because they put lemon and lime on them. They are really good and crunchy. Love your family and your videos I can sometimes relate to what you are dealing with. Thank you and hope you see this.❤❤
@@mellissamaynard7340 it's not that horrible. It protein. Meat is getting super expensive so we might have to resort to it😂😂😂😂😂😂 insects taste like sunflower seeds
Sometimes when i watch these vlogs my heart gets so happy thinking of your kids being grown and having this footage to look back on. That isnt something my parents did and i always wish they had. Thinking of grown Flynn, and the twins watching dance parties and how cool their parents are and were as new parents...makes my heart smile.
It's so heartwarming to see you have so much fun with your kids. True inspiration to Moms everywhere. Seriously keep up the great work your doing a fantastic job as a mom.
Colleen, I feel so honored that you can talk to us how you do. Having you to talk to through these vlogs throughout the past year has genuinely helped me so much. I moved into my first apartment with strangers this year and did a masters program, and having you along felt like having a friend with me every day you uploaded. Thank you for sharing these parts of yourself!
you’re literally the only person i watch on youtube these days but i watch every single minute of your videos because they’re different, it’s literally like catching up w my friend and her family lol
Hahaha aww I loved this part in the dance party 13:14. It made me think of how awesome it would be if one day at a live show u did a live dance party and all the fans could join in!! Love you all so much, thanks for brightening all our days 💕
It is sooo freaking sweet and heartwarming to know that Colleen is comfortable sharing her life happy and the sad moments with us (her vlog fam) more than she is with someone else she knows.. Yesterday I was going about my day and remembered that Colleen was going back home and I got excited to see the vlog with the babies again.. 🤗♥️ Simply feel like Colleen is one of my close friends now.. I wish it was a two way communication community where I get to share some of my happy and sad moments with her too., it would have been nice.. You know what I mean?
maisy is so adorable i love her so much even though i’ve only seen her through the screen. maisy’s personality shines so much in your videos and i love her vibes. i love wes and flynn, flynn is so awesome and wes is the cutest little guy
Never heard it called sparkle water and i loved that you call it that! That stuff makes you unique to me! Flynns Red Hot Chili Peppers shirt and those pants were absolutely AMAZING! My fav outfit yet! Watching and listening to your beautiful kids laugh and Flynn with his super smart convos he blows me away everytime! Love you all and respect how amazingly you and Eric are doing being parents! ❤👏❤👏❤
Tortilla talk question - I was wondering if you had your mental health struggles through high school and uni? And how did/do you get yourself through times where you just want to give up? Your videos have gotten me through my struggles the last few years with high school and uni, and sometimes it feels like it’ll never get better. I love watching your family grow ( and also be goofy and silly)
TTQ: have you ever thought about getting flynn a bearded dragon or a more exotic pet? i feel like he’d love a pet like that & it would also teach him about the intricacies of owning a pet that has specific needs/care
Unpopular opinion: toddlers don’t need pets. They learn plenty of responsibility other ways without being under the guise of keeping a being alive that really the parents are keeping alive.
@@chloe_3787 that is true but at the same time owning a pet with further his responsibility in ways that a parent can not. Some things only owing a pet can do. I feel like flynn would do amazing with a pet!
@@chloe_3787 I feel like owning a pet DOES at least teach kids about the concept of responsibility, even if its mostly the parents taking care of it. Like they could teach flynn how to do the things and then with minimal help do it with them.
@@chloe_3787 I was 10 when we got my rabbit and what was important that my mom did was if I ever forgot to feed her or anything my mom would do it or remind me to do it if I was home, and then explained the importance of whatever task it was. But I always had someone looking out to make sure she was fed
I really feel so honored that I get to watch your vlogs and get to feel like I’m a part of your life in a way. This really is a safe space. Watching your vlogs will always have a special place in my life, it’s like connecting with a close friend. Thank you so much for sharing your life and talking about the hard things. Sending you so much love always! -Mollie from Virginia :)
I hope you know when you talk to us it feels to us like you’re more than just a video …you make us feel like you’re a really good friend which many of us don’t have a lot of. You’re always there and so comforting for so many of us.
Your vlogs have been such a source of comfort for me over the past few years (I can't believe it's been so long since I started watching you!!) I love the relationship you have with your community on this channel, it feels very cozy. It really feels like I'm just hanging out with a friend. I love that we get to see both your happy and sad moments, I appreciate you being so open about your life and everything you're going through. Some struggles and emotions tend to not be validated by society, and I sometimes feel dramatic and weak for being emotional and sensitive. But you help make me feel like these struggles and emotions are valid, and I'm so happy the internet has a person like you on it. Your community is a safe place that I think many people really need. And I'm so glad that sharing your feelings with us here helps _you_ in many ways too! I'm glad this channel is a safe space for you too. Love you, Colleen!
tortilla talk question! since you’re both involved with tv & film, would you and erik ever think about writing & creating a project together? i absolutely adore you and your family-thank you so much for always being so transparent and willing to share all the love you have with us. we all love you so much colleen!!
Safe space is such a great way to describe this group of people who watch the daily vlogs :) Just going through everyday supporting each other. So lovely to find ❤️
Every time she explains how she gets embarrassed when people that she knows watch her videos, it feels so relatable. Also, I agree that most people here relate to her. Like for me, I’m in love with musical theatre and did it all through high school. I Sing, dance, and play piano in my free time. Not to mention some of the deeper topics she talks about can really be relatable as well.
Maisy is sitting by herself in that cute frilled pink top... Omg my uterus can't handle the cuteness ❤️❤️❤️ Her entire journey just flashed in front of my eyes that how tiny she was in the NICU and took her sweet time to come home and got us all worried and now she is just overloaded with cuteness... I'm married for 2yrs now and we don't have any plans for kids in next 2yrs cz its a huge responsibility mentally and financially and we are not yet ready but I'm completely addicted to your vlogs and your babies gives me major major baby fever... I love your cute little family ❤️ Lots of love from India 🇮🇳❤️
Literally I watch these while I get ready to go to work in the morning. I work at a middle school. These are always so entertaining and funny to me, and I love watching these in the AM while getting ready!
People like to spread negativity to people who don’t deserve it. Colleen is one of the nicest humans on this app. Watching her kids grow with her & erik is so special and not everyone gets that. Colleen apologies sometimes for sharing her struggles but says it makes her feel less alone, I wish she knew that it also helps us feel less alone. No matter where you are in life, there will be bumps, but it’s about how you overcome them, Colleen is one of my biggest role models and I love watching along with her vlogs. Sending you so much love Colleen, from Michaela in Irelanddd
Tortilla talk question :Hi Colleen my name is Chloe I’m 20 and just found out I’m pregnant with twins!! I am so excited but I want to thank you so much for your videos during your pregnancy because they are helping me and allowing me to relate to someone 24/7, I feel like you are a big sister I can go to for advice. Do you have any advice for budgeting for kids or did you and Erik ever talk about how much we should spend on each thing?
Tortilla talk question: Would you ever want to release an album of all the songs that you and Eric have sung on the podcast and on other things!! I know I would love it!!
I haven’t gone through a lot of similar experiences as you in fact we’re almost complete opposites but this feels like a close knit community in a way and I feel like I’m coming to a group meeting every vlog haha 😂 it’s really special and welcoming.
You’re smile at Flynn when he was eating the lollipop literally brought me to tears!!! I know you love your kids at all times but those little moments where you can just see you BEAMING with love/pride/admiration for them really make me happy!
Tortilla Talk Question! I love putting your videos on when I’m eating or cleaning. It brightens my day and gets me through to my next task. Do you have any UA-camrs that you watch like that? A channel that you love watching while doing something else like packing or getting ready?
TTQ: After all these years of learning about things you never thought you would ever learn about… what is YOUR favorite truck and YOUR favorite bug?? I’m curious to hear Flynn’s reaction to your favorites as well!
hi colleen! for your tour i would love if you could perform in your home town 💕 you have been such an inspiration and i love your entire family so much! much love from santa barbara 💗
Colleen, your kids are so FREAKIN' adorable. If I'm having a bad day I watch your videos and know that Flynn will say something to make me laugh. Thank you for sharing your family fun with us.
Your the best momma ever and you are doing the right thing and always sending you positive vibes and so proud of you and always put your self first and health and you are such a blessing angel xoxo 😘
Tortilla Talk Question: Have you thought about recording an album of these amazing kids songs you and Eric sing together? I love the snippets you share and feel like this could be such a rewarding project! Love from south Alabama and mom of 2! My son is a few months younger than Flynn and my daughter 1 month younger than Maisy and Wes. Thank you for all you do and share!
I have been watching these vlogs for such a long time now and I have never been in any similar situations as you. I am 21, single, no children, haven't really had any interest in Theater or anything, but every single time I watch even if you are speaking about something I cant particularly relate to, I still feel so attached to the things you are saying and it genuinely helps me get through the struggles I am having or any trauma I've been through. I don't know what it is but you have really pulled me out of some dark places and helped me pursue the things I've always wanted to do. every time I feel sad or happy I watch your vlogs and they just make me feel at home. I don't know if this makes any sense but I love you and I just wanted to thank you for being here.
So cool how you thought about getting that for Flynn. I can tell he obviously really loved it. You and Erik are the best parents for encouraging your kids interests❤️
At the end of your vlog when you said you feel like you're talking TO us, I really feel that! I have cried with and for you SO MANY times!! I really feel like I'm watching my best friend live her life. My boyfriend doesn't watch your videos, but he knows who you are because I talk about you as if we're friends. You've also helped me with my mental health because you're so open about it and especially ADHD. Watching what you go through and how you are made me realize I think I have it too and I'm actually going to be seeking out medical help to understand it more! I don't think I ever would have even assumed that without watching your videos. Thank you!
I want to thank you for making us a little part of your family and your life. It’s kind of weird maybe for some people but I love you like a life long friend.
A friend of mine made cookies with cricket flour one time and didn't tell us that little detail until after a bunch of us had already eaten them haha They were good though! He said they were organic. We just didn't know *how* organic they were 😂
I just want to thank you Colleen! I had the hardest week of my life for many reasons from my family. you being yourself and your family is the only thing that made me laugh this week. Thanks for you and your amazing family! Love you
I’m only 17 and don’t obviously relate to being a mum and having kids, but I find your vlogs really comforting. Also feel like we’re all going through it together in a way. I always watch your videos at the end of the day when I want to relax.
Tortilla Talk Question: How do you handle recycling with all the packages you order? Have you bought additional reciprocals from the town? Or do you drive out to recycling centers periodically?
I've watched almost everyone of your vlogs for years, and the way you feel weird about anybody other than us watching these videos, is how I feel when people ask me who I watch on UA-cam because you aren't just another vlogger that I watch to entertain myself, you're more of a person I genuinely care about and understand and emotionally connect with. So yeah I like our little bubble of youtube.
Hi Colleen! You might never see this because you're a busy and amazing mom, but I'm a teenager and your vlogs have helped me and continue to help me in just life and being a person and getting older! I really love that you shared your hard journey with pregnancy because if not for you, I would have NEVER guessed exactly how hard pregnancies can be! I really appreciate what you do. I hope to be able to go to a show one day, until then I will continue to watch your vlogs. They bring a lot of comfort. Love you!
Watching these vlogs make me feel so special and part of your friend group or family, but there’s also like thousands of other people watching them too!
TORTILLA TALK Q&A: do you think that you and erik will have the wedding party some time next year ? also where would you guys love to go for your honeymoon. love you and your family
I'll never get over Colleens beautiful singing. I feel like her kids are going to have such fond memories of her making songs for them and playing instruments for them 🤍
I keep noticing Wes’s hair sticking up the way Flynn’s did as a baby! So cute 🥰
you dont know these kids......
@@carolinepeters28 what does that have to do with noticing the baby’s hair?
@@carolinepeters28 life is too short to be mean to people you don’t know on the internet
I noticed that to!
I wonder if they’re styling it as the Mohawk but you’re right it’s so cute it’s happening again!
When you are telling your stories about losing your camera, Maisy’s facial expressions match it all and it’s everything 💕
As a teen who has struggled a lot at home, it makes me really happy to see how happy your kids are. You're a great mom, and don't let anybody tell you otherwise.
edit: ty for all the likes! starting to think the trauma was worth momentary clout lol
Aww yes she is I love seeing her kids happy

Love you sweetheart,your love for your family is so beautiful. You bring me joy with every vlog such a blessing to all of us.
I absolutely LOVE how totally nonchalant Flynn is about eating bugs!!! He's just like, yum, how delicious!!! He's just the best!!! 💕
I kind of expected him to not eat them since he loves them so much!
I really feel so honored that I get to watch your vlogs and get to feel like I’m a part of your life in a way. This really is a safe space. Watching your vlogs will always have a special place in my life, it’s like connecting with a close friend. Thank you so much for sharing your life and talking about the hard things. Sending you so much love always!

I hope you know when you talk to us it feels to us like you’re more than just a video …you make us feel like you’re a really good friend which many of us don’t have a lot of. You’re always there and so comforting for so many of us.
Your vlogs have been such a source of comfort for me over the past few years (I can't believe it's been so long since I started watching you!!) I love the relationship you have with your community on this channel, it feels very cozy. It really feels like I'm just hanging out with a friend.
I love that we get to see both your happy and sad moments, I appreciate you being so open about your life and everything you're going through. Some struggles and emotions tend to not be validated by society, and I sometimes feel dramatic and weak for being emotional and sensitive. But you help make me feel like these struggles and emotions are valid, and I'm so happy the internet has a person like you on it. Your community is a safe place that I think many people really need.
And I'm so glad that sharing your feelings with us here helps _you_ in many ways too! I'm glad this channel is a safe space for you too.
Love you, Colleen!
tortilla talk question! since you’re both involved with tv & film, would you and erik ever think about writing & creating a project together? i absolutely adore you and your family-thank you so much for always being so transparent and willing to share all the love you have with us. we all love you so much colleen!!
ive spent my freee time today watching your beginnnign quarantine vids.
Safe space is such a great way to describe this group of people who watch the daily vlogs :) Just going through everyday supporting each other. So lovely to find ❤️
Sending good vibes in the universe that Colleen gets her precious sd card back ✨ 🙏✨
Every time she explains how she gets embarrassed when people that she knows watch her videos, it feels so relatable. Also, I agree that most people here relate to her. Like for me, I’m in love with musical theatre and did it all through high school. I Sing, dance, and play piano in my free time. Not to mention some of the deeper topics she talks about can really be relatable as well.
TTQ: Does Erik ever get recognized in public for any of the shows or movies he is in?
Maisy is sitting by herself in that cute frilled pink top...
Omg my uterus can't handle the cuteness ❤️❤️❤️
Her entire journey just flashed in front of my eyes that how tiny she was in the NICU and took her sweet time to come home and got us all worried and now she is just overloaded with cuteness...
I'm married for 2yrs now and we don't have any plans for kids in next 2yrs cz its a huge responsibility mentally and financially and we are not yet ready but I'm completely addicted to your vlogs and your babies gives me major major baby fever...
I love your cute little family ❤️
Lots of love from India 🇮🇳❤️
Literally I watch these while I get ready to go to work in the morning. I work at a middle school. These are always so entertaining and funny to me, and I love watching these in the AM while getting ready!
I hope you know how much your vlogs help us, Colleen! The notifications make my day!!!!!

Omg Wesley reminds me of Jimbo from boss baby at 13:06 when you guys are dancing 😂
People like to spread negativity to people who don’t deserve it. Colleen is one of the nicest humans on this app. Watching her kids grow with her & erik is so special and not everyone gets that.
Colleen apologies sometimes for sharing her struggles but says it makes her feel less alone, I wish she knew that it also helps us feel less alone. No matter where you are in life, there will be bumps, but it’s about how you overcome them, Colleen is one of my biggest role models and I love watching along with her vlogs.
Sending you so much love Colleen, from Michaela in Irelanddd

Tortilla talk question :Hi Colleen my name is Chloe I’m 20 and just found out I’m pregnant with twins!! I am so excited but I want to thank you so much for your videos during your pregnancy because they are helping me and allowing me to relate to someone 24/7, I feel like you are a big sister I can go to for advice. Do you have any advice for budgeting for kids or did you and Erik ever talk about how much we should spend on each thing?
I couldnt even pay attention to Colleen talking about the package lol Flynn was so cute with the bugs 😂😂🤍
6:34
Flynn: I'm named... *no flying*
Shouldn't have made me laugh as much as it did. The shade to the poor moth.🤣
Tortilla talk question: Would you ever want to release an album of all the songs that you and Eric have sung on the podcast and on other things!! I know I would love it!!
Omg same!
Loved the spontaneous singing and the family dance time! Super cute!
Love that Flynn just ate the worm like it was no biggie hahaha!
Made your chicken casserole tonight for my family and it was a hit!!! Thank you for the recipe🥰 thank you for being a friend when I need it too
I haven’t gone through a lot of similar experiences as you in fact we’re almost complete opposites but this feels like a close knit community in a way and I feel like I’m coming to a group meeting every vlog haha 😂 it’s really special and welcoming.
Love love love you colleen. You are such a light in this world, literally heaven sent. I’m so glad to be part of this vlog community.
You’re smile at Flynn when he was eating the lollipop literally brought me to tears!!! I know you love your kids at all times but those little moments where you can just see you BEAMING with love/pride/admiration for them really make me happy!
Tortilla Talk Question!
I love putting your videos on when I’m eating or cleaning. It brightens my day and gets me through to my next task. Do you have any UA-camrs that you watch like that? A channel that you love watching while doing something else like packing or getting ready?
A 20min vlog at the weekend?! Colleen you are spoiling us 💛
WHEN THE WATERMELON GOES BEADY AND CRUMBLEY I have never related so hard to this😖😣
TTQ: After all these years of learning about things you never thought you would ever learn about… what is YOUR favorite truck and YOUR favorite bug??
I’m curious to hear Flynn’s reaction to your favorites as well!
hi colleen! for your tour i would love if you could perform in your home town 💕 you have been such an inspiration and i love your entire family so much! much love from santa barbara 💗
Colleen, your kids are so FREAKIN' adorable. If I'm having a bad day I watch your videos and know that Flynn will say something to make me laugh. Thank you for sharing your family fun with us.
Your the best momma ever and you are doing the right thing and always sending you positive vibes and so proud of you and always put your self first and health and you are such a blessing angel xoxo 😘
Tortilla Talk Question: Have you thought about recording an album of these amazing kids songs you and Eric sing together? I love the snippets you share and feel like this could be such a rewarding project! Love from south Alabama and mom of 2! My son is a few months younger than Flynn and my daughter 1 month younger than Maisy and Wes. Thank you for all you do and share!
I have been watching these vlogs for such a long time now and I have never been in any similar situations as you. I am 21, single, no children, haven't really had any interest in Theater or anything, but every single time I watch even if you are speaking about something I cant particularly relate to, I still feel so attached to the things you are saying and it genuinely helps me get through the struggles I am having or any trauma I've been through. I don't know what it is but you have really pulled me out of some dark places and helped me pursue the things I've always wanted to do. every time I feel sad or happy I watch your vlogs and they just make me feel at home. I don't know if this makes any sense but I love you and I just wanted to thank you for being here.
I think it a tortilla blanket! For her new merch. Of maybe like a comfy
So cool how you thought about getting that for Flynn. I can tell he obviously really loved it. You and Erik are the best parents for encouraging your kids interests❤️
I have covid and I’ve been watching you all through my quarantine you truly are the best UA-camr and best mom ever ❤️❤️
Tortilla talk question: can you do a segment of opening or showing the gifts you got on tour?
At the end of your vlog when you said you feel like you're talking TO us, I really feel that! I have cried with and for you SO MANY times!! I really feel like I'm watching my best friend live her life. My boyfriend doesn't watch your videos, but he knows who you are because I talk about you as if we're friends. You've also helped me with my mental health because you're so open about it and especially ADHD. Watching what you go through and how you are made me realize I think I have it too and I'm actually going to be seeking out medical help to understand it more! I don't think I ever would have even assumed that without watching your videos. Thank you!
I love how Flynn just went for that chocolate cricket. He didn’t even hesitate!
I personally love crickets. To me they taste like sunflower seeds 😂 I've also had white chocolate covered Ants.
I want to thank you for making us a little part of your family and your life.
It’s kind of weird maybe for some people but I love you like a life long friend.
A friend of mine made cookies with cricket flour one time and didn't tell us that little detail until after a bunch of us had already eaten them haha They were good though! He said they were organic. We just didn't know *how* organic they were 😂
I just want to thank you Colleen! I had the hardest week of my life for many reasons from my family. you being yourself and your family is the only thing that made me laugh this week. Thanks for you and your amazing family! Love you
Watching the dance party evolution is so cute. Mom dad and flynn.. to pregnant mom dad and Flynn to a family of five. ☺🥰
We went from befriending bugs to eating them real quick 😂😂
Ah I’m super excited you guys are heading back the ranch! I hope you have a lovely time as you always seem to do there :)
I’m only 17 and don’t obviously relate to being a mum and having kids, but I find your vlogs really comforting. Also feel like we’re all going through it together in a way. I always watch your videos at the end of the day when I want to relax.
Same girl ❤️❤️
Tortilla Talk Question: How do you handle recycling with all the packages you order? Have you bought additional reciprocals from the town? Or do you drive out to recycling centers periodically?
flynn would love a bearded dragon! They're not too difficult to take care of and they have so much personality!
Maisies little expressions when you were talking about the camera 😭 they made my day
I've watched almost everyone of your vlogs for years, and the way you feel weird about anybody other than us watching these videos, is how I feel when people ask me who I watch on UA-cam because you aren't just another vlogger that I watch to entertain myself, you're more of a person I genuinely care about and understand and emotionally connect with. So yeah I like our little bubble of youtube.
It was so great seeing your beautiful kids again I missed them so much. I love Wesley’s mohawk so cute. 😻
Hi Colleen! You might never see this because you're a busy and amazing mom, but I'm a teenager and your vlogs have helped me and continue to help me in just life and being a person and getting older! I really love that you shared your hard journey with pregnancy because if not for you, I would have NEVER guessed exactly how hard pregnancies can be! I really appreciate what you do. I hope to be able to go to a show one day, until then I will continue to watch your vlogs. They bring a lot of comfort. Love you!
Watching these vlogs make me feel so special and part of your friend group or family, but there’s also like thousands of other people watching them too!
Okay everyone says this but I’ve LITERALLY never been this early 😂 love you Colleen!!
Nice work being early
Literally same!!
same!
Omg same i have never been this early luuv yall and hope had/have a great day
same haha
