Im 21, in college, never had kids but your content brings me so much comfort. The mom talk does not bother your audience at all, haha. Keep on truckin’.
I actually really like this style of vlog where it has more of a domestic feel. it's comforting to see a creator show a more laid back 'this is how my real life is like' side of them, than the over the top things they usually do for the viewers. don't feel pressured at all to do more than you already are, we're going to continue to support you
i love colleen because i feel like she keeps it real and she’s one of those youtubers who give the vibe of you’re hanging out with them. she doesn’t get all perfect and fakes a smile but she talks about her life in such a realistic way and i really love it.
Colleen: “I feel lazy” Also Colleen: * has vlog channel * * has podcast * * has comedy alter ego channel * * has a tour coming up * * is a badass mom of twins * * is anything but lazy *
Somedays I don't even have the energy to do half of what she does in her vlogs alone. And I don't even have children. She is an amazing hardworking mom and woman.
YES, COLLEEN!!!!!!!! I'm so happy you're not apologizing for crying and for how you feel. Whatever it is, you deserve to feel how you feel and express that. If someone doesn't like that you're crying because you're exhausted because you're raising and caring for a toddler and newborn twins, they can go, you're doing so much that requires your attention and energy and you're not a bad mom for feeling tired because you're doing something that's tiring. Sending you much love
same and same!!! except i tended to (and still do sometimes) make up more with french than italian. italian makes decent sense in my brain so i can remember it pretty well. french however always bites me in the a$$. luckily i had multiple juries where this happened but french is so syllable based somehow none of the faculty noticed. 😅 i would even get positive marks on my french sometimes and not be able to not laugh when i got my scoring and notes back.
Fellow twin Mom here- can confirm- one is generally going to be happier than the other. An important thing to know/remember/be reminded of- crying is not bad. Sometimes babies cry because they are bored, it's a way to exercise their lungs. It's always lovely to hear you sing, thanks for that!
no words could explain how much i enjoy colleen’s singing, ESPECIALLY opera. the amount of times i’ve watched the video of her and jon singing pop songs opera-style is.. astonishing
YES. SO PROUD OF YOU FOR OWNING YOUR FEELINGS AND NOT APOLOGIZING!!!!! Feel everything you need to. Sorry is not a word u need to use, remember that we are here watching you no matter what you do.
I second this! Colleen all of your feelings are 100% valid and I think we’re all so proud of you for not apologizing for them this time❤️ we love u queen :))
It breaks my heart to hear Colleen say she feels “lazy” because of her current workload! Colleen love, you’re a mom of three! You’re schedule is full of bottles, pumping, playing, feeding, and supervision among other things! It’s OKAY to be busy being a mom, and there’s no shame on that. As another woman who lived the majority of their life with undiagnosed ADHD, I COMPLETELY understand the impulsive need to be constantly stimulated with work. Sometimes it’s hard when we look back on things we’ve been able to accomplish in the past, and what we’re accomplishing now, but I think it’s important to remind yourself that your circumstances have changed and that’s ok!! Lots of love from NY💗
i love to do lists, and when i had my baby my mom told me to puts things like “feed baby” and “change diapers” on my list because as a mom that is work and you are accomplishing things when you do that!! you might not be able to do all the “normal” work you did before, but the work of motherhood is just as important and valuable if not more! you get so much done for those babies and flynn all day and night! you’re working more than ever before… definitely not being lazy!
I really don’t think I’ll ever stop watching you. I’m about to turn 20 and you’ve shown me what motherhood, a successful career, a loving relationship, and many other things are. I actually consider you a role model and am super proud of all the things you continue to do, like pushing through the hard times of motherhood. I know this is a source of income for you but it’s also apparent that you would probably vlog and make youtube videos if it made you five cents! you’re AMAZING. keep going keep pushing
when you said "I'm not going to apologize -- this is HARD" I CLAPPED. LOUD. you don't need to apologize for being overwhelmed and tired, and I am happy that you didn't. crying and getting it out always makes me feel better and it's NECESSARY otherwise those feelings just build because we all know they don't just go away. thinking of you and your family every day and sending all the positive vibes across the country as I can! I love you!
"I'm not going to apologize" YES!!!! I've been begging you to stop apologizing for expressing your feelings for so long and you did it! You're doing amazing Colleen. Flynn, Maisey, and Wesley are so lucky to have you.
Never feel the need to apologize for any feeling you have. Having one baby is hard so having two I can only imagine. You have the support of all of us and we applaud you for being so real and raw. I feel for you and I hope the babies let you start sleeping but I also believe that you being real and open about all the struggles you’re going through is probably validating other struggling moms and their feelings they are having as well. Never stop being you and never feel the need to apologize! YOU DESERVE MORE COOKIES!
I remember an interview with a mom of multiples and they asked what she did when they were all crying at the same time , she answered I cry too. I thought what a completely honest answer. I never had twins but I think I’d cry also. My heart goes out to you. I can’t imagine the exhaustion . ❤️❤️❤️
I like the realness, like Colleen is just like the rest of us, tired and has a normal “boring” day, feel so related, connected and comforted by these real stuff
I watched these vlogs every day when the pandemic started and now they’re thing I look forward to watching every night before I sleep, thank you for sharing and letting us be a part of your life 🥰
The overhead lights in the ceiling always made my baby cousins cry because when they are being held or on their backs it’s just so bright for their little eyes. Something that’s a bit overlooked!
their house would look super cozy with ambient lights, and maybe a lack of intense light might help everyones sleep schedules with the boost of melatonin!
I just wanna say I adore and love how much Colleen is standing up for herself and taking care of herself, you go Colleen, absolutely yes!!!!! 💕💕 It's so beautiful to see you make cookies while you hold your incredible baby, and ensure that you're not gonna apologize for crying when things get hard. I love you so much and I'm so excited that you're taking care of yourself too among taking care of the rest of your beautiful family!! 💕💕 Sometimes you've gotta take 5 minutes to get some cookies in the oven, and that's more than okay.
Cry when you need to cry, and laugh when you need to laugh. It's all healing to your soul. You are doing a fantastic job. I've never seen someone try so hard to make your family happy. And it's working well. YOUR DOING A GREAT JOB!!
It literally gives me chills when she sings "She Used to be mine" and remembering the vlogs of her singing that song before she was even on Broadway. Love you so much Colleen
vlogging should be your outlet colleen, you should vlog when you want to, when you can enjoy it and not stress about entertaining us, or talking about the same thing (which I am totally okay with) you should never have to apologize for your feelings that your going through, I started watching you a few months after flynn was born ,your vlogs are still one of the highlights of my day! i love hearing about your wonderful family, the twins and flynn are so pure and amazing, and you're doing such a great job! :)
Just a little a bit of a advice if the twin’s like baths, you should give them one before they have a bottle and it should help them relax so they can eat and fall right to sleep! even just wiping them down with a warm rag! You’re doing so well mama❤️
I LOVE when you sing opera!!!! I also LOVE the “Once upon a time. . .” Stories you improvise with Flynn! If only more parents would play with language like that. Hang in there. You are doing a great parenting job and it’s so NOT boring to watch life unfold. We are all bored with Covid.
YAS I love that you pulled out your musical theatre and vocal performance rep for the babies! Piazza is one of my favorites, love Waitress, and Se tu ma’ami was my college audition aria that I sang soooo many times back then!! They seem to love your soprano stuff (me too!) 🥺❤️🎶
Colleen is the only UA-cam I have consistently watched for YEARS, literally since middle school and now I’m graduating college. You’re definitely doing something right girl and we all love watching 💜 no matter what.
I am a twin. According to our parents, we were never in the same mood at the same time. It's still like that, and we're 20. However, we do make each other happy and angry, and as we grew up we learned to calm each other down (and wind each other up). Being a twin is such a gift, I constantly feel like the happiest girl in the world because I have my twin. You're doing such a great job, Colleen! We love you
I appreciate you being so vulnerable and real with how you’re feeling as a mom to newborns. I’m currently 37 weeks pregnant with my second, and I had a rough go with my first in those newborn days. Thank you for being open with how your feeling, it will help other moms not feel so alone.
When my sons where little, I remember being excited to wash the dishes because I could close my eyes WHILE washing dishes. I felt almost like i was napping. This too shall pass dear Colleen!
You are really impressive Colleen. You should be so proud of yourself how you are handle going from being a mum of 1 to a mum of 3!! And your always make time for each one of your kids. I also love how raw and real you are on here you really show us both sides the good and the bad. Love you 💕
You’re not boring!! I’m a mama of three with my youngest who was born in October 2021. I grew up watching UA-cam, but now you’re the only channel I watch. Usually while I’m pumping or doing dishes, cooking, laundry.. it never ends lol but watching your videos help me get it done. I appreciate how real and transparent you are. I feel like I’m talking to a friend when I watch your vlogs. So please know that you are amazing just as you are! 💜
My heart absolutely melted when you were singing to the babies! I look up to you so much and in the future I will try to be nearly as great of a Mom as you are. Love you!
I can't even imagine how hard having twins and Flynn is. Also, I still love and enjoy watching your videos even when you're not doing anything that you think is interesting. I'm praying for you and your adorable family, Colleen!
I haven’t missed a single video since you started daily vloging. You are the most relatable person and make me feel like a normal mom. Love you ♥️you’re doing great!
Colleen, I worked in Early Childhood Development for almost 20 years. I worked and got my education with infants and toddlers. In an infant classroom we would have 4 infants to one caregiver. No swings, no bouncy seats, just boppies. I found the secret to keeping my sanity was sending all my beautiful babies home at the end of the day with their families and getting a good nights rest. Sleep deprivation is no joke and to see you taking care of your family everyday despite being exhausted is amazing. Being a parent is so hard, thank you for sharing your journey and all the beautiful milestones.
I will always watch all of your videos. NEVER apologize for crying. We all encourage you to express yourself, whether that be crying or laughing. We just want to know how you are genuinely doing. You should never feel like you have to hide any part of yourself from us. We love all sides of you and we will all be here for a virtual hug whenever you feel low or just overwhelmed. We love watching your babies grow and watching you and Erik grow as parents and as a family. You guys are doing amazing. I have been watching you since wayyy before Flynn was born and I love the progress you have made and the happiness you have acquired. You make us all proud mama, keep being exactly who you are❤️
Finding myself saying “awww Colleen” out loud when she starts crying 😭 I know it’s so hard now but I promise when they’re older there are some things that are so much easier having about having twins. When mine turned 18 months they became best friends and stopped bothering me lol I was able to get so much more done while they entertained each other. You can get thru this part I promise it gets so much better!
Colleen this is especially important to say if you feel even a LITTLE bit that your content isn't worth watching! I have NEVER seen pregnancy and postpartum like how you're documenting it, and I can honestly say it's taught me more than any other piece of content what to expect in that stage of my life (I'm in my 20s and not quite there yet). I LOVE to see the rawness of your videos. Everyone else on the internet is so concerned with appearances but you show it all. You're a beaming light, Colleen, even (and maybe especially!) when you feel like you're hitting rock bottom. ❤
Girrrrl! We love you! As a mom we stay tired & it does become our NORMAL. & it’s ok to CRY!!! I have a teen & a 1st grader & needs are ALL over the place. You just learn to Organize the chaos & appreciate the beauty of a healthy chaotic family!!! It’s all part of what life is! So GLAD you share the ride!!
THIS is reality! Thank you for showing these things because it is exactly what all of us mommas go through and it’s not easy! The baking cookies in the night cracks me up bc I always would do something to keep my mind busy and keep it from repeating “I’m tired, so tired, stop crying, I’m so tired” Night always seems the hardest bc we are so worn down and the babies somehow love nighttime parties. Keep chugging along momma you’re killin it!
I'm in my third trimester of pregnancy and you have been an absolute life saver with your transparency and honesty. I feel so lucky to follow behind your journey by a few months so I know what to prepare for. Towards the end of your pregnancy, you talked a lot about how uncomfortable you were and it mentally prepared me for how uncomfortable I am now. I am now hyper aware of how exhausted I am going to be once my son is born. I know it's hard to be vulnerable, but you make the biggest difference in the lives you touch. Thank you for all that you do!
Not a mom here and I love your content, I find myself watching your realistic day to day content way more actually!! It feels relatable and like I’m a friend.
YES COLLEEN!!! good for you for not apologizing for crying !! we all love and appreciate you. we wouldn’t be here otherwise. and yes people will stop watching but that would be true no matter what you’re doing!! the baby content is worth is for those who matter and truly support you!!! we love you colleen
colleen... we don't care how "boring" your life may seem to you (right now)! you are such a strong person and we all love you for it. we will always be watching your videos because *YOU'RE* awesome!
I love your videos. Even though I'm 16 and not even close to having kids, I love you talking about what you're going through. I've learned so much about pregnancy and taking care of babies and other things like that from your videos.
she might not see this but I just wanted to let her know that I wouldn’t ever stop supporting her I’m 14 now and lowkey adore the momma talk😭 love that and her so much. she’s amazing
I cannot tell you how appreciative this is to see. Being a mom is so flipping HARD. Beyond hard. It’s ok. Feel the feelings, Colleen. You never EVER need to apologize. I’m sending you all my love and strength.
Hey Colleen!!! Pleas read this I think it may help! ❤️I am not a mama, but my mom is a lactation consultant, and I asked her for help about how to help you make the transition from bottle to breastfeeding, and she sayed you should probably get a lactation consultant to help you, but she told me a trick to give to you! She stayed you should try instead of feeding the baby's directly from the bottle, you have to use a feeding tube that goes from the bottle to your breast hahaha I don't know how to explain it very well, but you stick the feeding tube that goes from the bottle and the tip of the tube should be next to your nipple, and that way the baby's have it easy to eat cause it's easyer from the tube than from the boob directly, but they go getting use to breastfeeding, and little by little they will like the breast better cause they see its not that difficult and they will give it a chance!! I hope you can understand it, if you need her instagram to ask any cuestions or anything we will be honored to help!! You are amazing!! ❤️❤️ (sorry if my English is not perfect) ✨❤️❤️
This WHOLE vlog all i could think about is how the twins r going to watch this one day and loveee seeing you sing to them, and cry with you at the end, and thank you. This whole video made me sad that i dont have this footage of my own mom when i was a newborn. These vlogs are a gift
I feel the same way! I live in Mass & honestly thought for a second should I move to LA & put my resume in the pile for the nanny position?!? Hahaha Sadly that seemed like a pipe dream & wasn’t realistic.
You are doing so well!! You are such a loving mama and I know how hard it is to see the good things in that much exhausting periods, but you are doing good. It gets better, stay strong and cry it out, if you feel tired and burnt out. Now I am at a point, where I no longer cry every day, but the first year... It's hard to not have enough time for everyone and everything (older kid(s), relationships, end even for yourself...). I feel like the pandemic makes everything so much harder for parents. We have to stay strong, but its not easy to be a mom. At every parent out there: you are doing great! Keep going, keep loving, keep crying, keep caring and keep the family running!
Having hard time does not for a second mean that you don't appreciate every moment of this stage. It means you are a hardworking momma that's doing your absolute best to give every ounce of your love to all three of your babies. You are exhausted because you aren't taking a moment for granted. I can tell how loved all your children are, and you can cry from exhaustion all you need to. Erik as well. This wouldn't be easy for anyone, but it's so worth it. You are doing amazing! Lots of love 💕
I've had bouts of insomnia where I haven't slept in so long and I'm so emotionally drained that it feels like I'm losing my mind - I can't imagine adding 2 new babies to that mix. You guys are doing great
Oh my gosh when you started singing Se Tu Mami I almost started crying. I'm in college right now for a performance degree and I learned that song and love it. The idea of getting to sing it to my kids one day makes me heart want to explode. Everytime I think I can't possibly love you and your family more you do something else that makes me relate to you. Thank you
You are such an amazing mom, I love coming back and seeing how your doing and just listening to you talk about your life in general. Your vlogs are so real and that's what attracts me to them because u can really feel how genuine you are. Also I love how you're starting to accept your emotions and not apologize anymore, negative emotions are what bring out the best in us in the end❤️
Colleen your vlogs have gotten me through a really rough patch in my chronic illness journey! Thank you so so much for sharing your life! I love you so much 🥺💖
She has really helped me as well. I struggle with chronic illness as well. Sending you love. 💗 it’s weird how she describes life for her right now is my daily life but without children. Some days it’s impossible to take care of myself or even get out of bed.
Same. I struggle with chronic illnesses and I really enjoy her videos. I look forward to winding down each night and watching her and her sweet little family. 💜 sending love to you and all chronic warriors!
Ahhhh I cannot wait to see the twins grow, looking back now we’ve literally all watched flynn grow into the coolest little guy ever I cannot wait to see their personalities omg!!
I'm 19; I have 8 older biological siblings, and I've been an aunt since I was 6. Watching her ideas helps me cope with not being able to be with my family. I love listening to my 5 older sisters talk about motherhood! It helps me to prepare to be a mom, because I know that's my purpose in this life, just as you have said before. Thanks, Colleen! 💜💜💜
Don’t ever apologize girl. It is hard. Especially with more than one. Make sure you speak up if you need help. Don’t ever be afraid to ask for help. Stay strong mama! You got this
colleen i am literally 14 and i’m always entertained and hit with good vibes every single time i watch one of your vlogs. I watched you religiously every single day back when i was online and flynn was a little baby and even tho i’m busier now with irl school i still watch you whenever i go on youtube. i also have other friends in my grade that religiously watched or are still watching you too so never underestimate the amount that we appreciate your videos even if to you they may seem boring, they’re the highlight of our days
I feel like now that they’re getting bigger they’re starting to look more alike! Especially when they were laying on the floor while you sang and they were looking the same direction, sweetest little twinsies!
Thank you so much for taking us on the wild ride of bringing up your family! From one Mama to another your feelings are so valid. Praying you get a nap soon!
We love you Colleen! I may be at a different stage in life but I've been where you are with preemie babies and I can relate! You're doing an amazing job and I find so much comfort in our shared humanity! Thank you for sharing your life with us and stay strong mama!
I feel like every soprano has sung that Italian aria at some point, I know I have! 😂 I love you and your videos, I’ve been watching you for years. You are doing amazing mama!! ❤️❤️
Idk there’s something about watching your everyday life that is soothing to me. Love seeing the day-to-day mom stuff that you don’t always see on a regular vlogging channel. You should not feel bad about your work load changing as you become a mom! You are definitely NOT lazy!! The other great thing about the daily vlogs is we all get to see just how busy you are!!!
I COMMENTED BEFORE WAITRESSSSSSSSSS omg thanks for a tiny taste of my favorite show. Made me smile ☺️ I wish I was a soprano so much! You sound gorgeous!
Colleen singing You Used to Be Mine gave me the shivers and almost made me cry. She has the gentle, sweet, loving mom energy and her voice sounds so beautiful when she sings that song.
I am just sending you so many hugs. You are so brave, and there is strength in your tears. you love soo deeply. You are doing a great job. Its ok to not be ok. And I love how you are intentionally taking time to make your self a sweet ass coffee and cookies as a part of your self care. You are amazing!!!!
I love how Maisy kept automatically tilting her head back to look straight into the camera while you were singing to the twins on the floor. She might enjoy being in front of the camera and have a flair for the dramatic, just like you described her!
You do not sound lazy! The fact you even keep up with vlogging, the podcast, miranda videos AND full time baby raising is amazing and I do not know how you do ALL of those things!! You're doing a fantastic job
I don’t think I’ll ever stop watching, I am 17 and it makes my day to watch your videos and it really cheers me up, Flynn is hilarious and I’ve loved watching him grow up, I’ve never found a vlog of yours boring
I have watched almost every vlog since Flynn was born, and they have been essential in getting me though lockdown. We love watching you go about your day, no matter how boring you think it is. I feel like we're all a big family, going through our ups and downs together. We love you Colleen!
I totally understand your postpartum struggle it's so hard agreed and indescribable feeling almost !! Hang in there lovely! We hear you girl and support you in spirit !
I'm curious as to whether there are actually people out there that find this boring? Girl I'm entertained the entire time, all the mom talk, cute babies and adorable husb/wife moments.. 💜 I don't know what I'd do if I didn't get these family updates. Even just the sweet little moments with the babies. It makes me feel like I'm a part of this amazing family! 💜
I know, right? Also, I kinda wish I was really part of the fam so I could help them with the babies, because, not to toot my own horn, I kinda am a baby whisperer, so if anything, she'd be able to take that nap that she needs.
Colleen, mother of 3 kids saying she feels boring for not vlogging about anything else than her life. ME sitting here every day so happy just to see a few minutes of her everyday life. Colleen, youre not boring! You feel like a friend to me kind of in a weird way, like ive followed you since I wasnt sure miranda was a weird girl on the internet or a character. Just seeing you being yourself, and that your life is good and your babies are good is just all I can ask for. You dont have to worry about being boring, cause you never are! Also, you are like a superwoman. Im not a mom, but all moms get this superpower I swear. I dont know how any of you are doing all that
these vlogs have become a part of my daily routine over the last year or two ? i watch them every night before bed and just listening to colleen talk is so therapeutic. im 18 and never get sick of listening to mom struggles i feel like i know colleen because of how relaxed and real her videos are
girl we would NEVER stop supporting and watching you. i’m 19 and ADORE all the mom-talk. we’ll always always be here no matter what. love you!

Colleen: “I feel lazy”
Also Colleen: * has vlog channel * * has podcast * * has comedy alter ego channel * * has a tour coming up * * is a badass mom of twins * * is anything but lazy *
Spot on! Exactly what I thought while listenting to this badass mum just doing so amazing :D
Somedays I don't even have the energy to do half of what she does in her vlogs alone. And I don't even have children. She is an amazing hardworking mom and woman.
Exactly 😭😭I have no kids and just watching her do all this stuff is making me tired in her place
we are our own self critic lol
and a badass amazing mom to flynn as well! and an amazing wife and friend and sister and aunt and daughter!
YES, COLLEEN!!!!!!!! I'm so happy you're not apologizing for crying and for how you feel. Whatever it is, you deserve to feel how you feel and express that. If someone doesn't like that you're crying because you're exhausted because you're raising and caring for a toddler and newborn twins, they can go, you're doing so much that requires your attention and energy and you're not a bad mom for feeling tired because you're doing something that's tiring. Sending you much love

It breaks my heart to hear Colleen say she feels “lazy” because of her current workload! Colleen love, you’re a mom of three! You’re schedule is full of bottles, pumping, playing, feeding, and supervision among other things! It’s OKAY to be busy being a mom, and there’s no shame on that. As another woman who lived the majority of their life with undiagnosed ADHD, I COMPLETELY understand the impulsive need to be constantly stimulated with work. Sometimes it’s hard when we look back on things we’ve been able to accomplish in the past, and what we’re accomplishing now, but I think it’s important to remind yourself that your circumstances have changed and that’s ok!!

So true!!
Like she’s keeping 3 tiny humans and herself alive she’s winning in my book!
P
i love to do lists, and when i had my baby my mom told me to puts things like “feed baby” and “change diapers” on my list because as a mom that is work and you are accomplishing things when you do that!! you might not be able to do all the “normal” work you did before, but the work of motherhood is just as important and valuable if not more! you get so much done for those babies and flynn all day and night! you’re working more than ever before… definitely not being lazy!
Not to mention most people get maternity leave and here she is just jumping back in! Girl rest
I really don’t think I’ll ever stop watching you. I’m about to turn 20 and you’ve shown me what motherhood, a successful career, a loving relationship, and many other things are. I actually consider you a role model and am super proud of all the things you continue to do, like pushing through the hard times of motherhood. I know this is a source of income for you but it’s also apparent that you would probably vlog and make youtube videos if it made you five cents! you’re AMAZING. keep going keep pushing
Completely agree, about to turn 20, genuinly excited about being a mum one day, so inspired by Colleen's perseverance and honesty ❤️
I get chills every time colleen sings! I tear up when she sings “she used to be mine” because of how personal it is to her. It’s a beautiful song!
when you said "I'm not going to apologize -- this is HARD" I CLAPPED. LOUD. you don't need to apologize for being overwhelmed and tired, and I am happy that you didn't. crying and getting it out always makes me feel better and it's NECESSARY otherwise those feelings just build because we all know they don't just go away. thinking of you and your family every day and sending all the positive vibes across the country as I can! I love you!
YESS THE GROWTH.
Yes yes yes!!
"I'm not going to apologize" YES!!!! I've been begging you to stop apologizing for expressing your feelings for so long and you did it! You're doing amazing Colleen. Flynn, Maisey, and Wesley are so lucky to have you.
even if it’s the same thing everyday, it’s very comforting to watch you everyday
yes i agree!
literallyyyy
Never feel the need to apologize for any feeling you have. Having one baby is hard so having two I can only imagine. You have the support of all of us and we applaud you for being so real and raw. I feel for you and I hope the babies let you start sleeping but I also believe that you being real and open about all the struggles you’re going through is probably validating other struggling moms and their feelings they are having as well. Never stop being you and never feel the need to apologize! YOU DESERVE MORE COOKIES!
I'm honestly so impressed how you're managing with two newborn babies whilst keeping Flynn happy as well! You are amazing👍
I remember an interview with a mom of multiples and they asked what she did when they were all crying at the same time , she answered I cry too. I thought what a completely honest answer. I never had twins but I think I’d cry also. My heart goes out to you. I can’t imagine the exhaustion . ❤️❤️❤️
Your content doesn’t need to be “interesting”, I just like following along ❤️ (especially for the “boring” normal up & down stuff)
I like the realness, like Colleen is just like the rest of us, tired and has a normal “boring” day, feel so related, connected and comforted by these real stuff
I watched these vlogs every day when the pandemic started and now they’re thing I look forward to watching every night before I sleep, thank you for sharing and letting us be a part of your life 🥰
+
Me too😃
Same!!!
Same! She’s so down to earth💕
Truly.. I look forward to them too. I’ve always liked her and in the parenting stage I love her more. Those kids!!! So so precious!!
The overhead lights in the ceiling always made my baby cousins cry because when they are being held or on their backs it’s just so bright for their little eyes. Something that’s a bit overlooked!
their house would look super cozy with ambient lights, and maybe a lack of intense light might help everyones sleep schedules with the boost of melatonin!
👆
I just wanna say I adore and love how much Colleen is standing up for herself and taking care of herself, you go Colleen, absolutely yes!!!!! 💕💕 It's so beautiful to see you make cookies while you hold your incredible baby, and ensure that you're not gonna apologize for crying when things get hard. I love you so much and I'm so excited that you're taking care of yourself too among taking care of the rest of your beautiful family!! 💕💕 Sometimes you've gotta take 5 minutes to get some cookies in the oven, and that's more than okay.
Cry when you need to cry, and laugh when you need to laugh. It's all healing to your soul. You are doing a fantastic job. I've never seen someone try so hard to make your family happy. And it's working well. YOUR DOING A GREAT JOB!!
Exactly!
You’re never boring. We just love being a part of your daily life.
I feel like Im part of the family! I love these vlogs!
It literally gives me chills when she sings "She Used to be mine" and remembering the vlogs of her singing that song before she was even on Broadway. Love you so much Colleen
YESSS!!!
Awe so wholesome
vlogging should be your outlet colleen, you should vlog when you want to, when you can enjoy it and not stress about entertaining us, or talking about the same thing (which I am totally okay with) you should never have to apologize for your feelings that your going through, I started watching you a few months after flynn was born ,your vlogs are still one of the highlights of my day! i love hearing about your wonderful family, the twins and flynn are so pure and amazing, and you're doing such a great job! :)
Just a little a bit of a advice if the twin’s like baths, you should give them one before they have a bottle and it should help them relax so they can eat and fall right to sleep! even just wiping them down with a warm rag! You’re doing so well mama❤️
"I'm doing me best"
Colleen, that's all anyone can do! So that's all that matters! Don't be too hard on yourself. You're a mom of 3!!!
The way that Maisy and Wesley wanted you to sing more opera. 😁💕 Colleen’s children are CULTURED.
@@milea9028 why are u commenting something like this on a family UA-cam page. I understand u gotta make money but this is a lil disturbing
I LOVE when you sing opera!!!! I also LOVE the “Once upon a time. . .” Stories you improvise with Flynn! If only more parents would play with language like that. Hang in there. You are doing a great parenting job and it’s so NOT boring to watch life unfold. We are all bored with Covid.
her opera singing is incredible omg
YAS I love that you pulled out your musical theatre and vocal performance rep for the babies! Piazza is one of my favorites, love Waitress, and Se tu ma’ami was my college audition aria that I sang soooo many times back then!! They seem to love your soprano stuff (me too!) 🥺❤️🎶
Colleen is the only UA-cam I have consistently watched for YEARS, literally since middle school and now I’m graduating college. You’re definitely doing something right girl and we all love watching 💜 no matter what.
honestly just love listening to colleen talk, i don’t think i could ever get bored of your videos
Yeah I agree! It’s kinda like listening to your best friend talk, cry, and laugh with you. And I share in those feelings
Yes!
I am a twin. According to our parents, we were never in the same mood at the same time. It's still like that, and we're 20. However, we do make each other happy and angry, and as we grew up we learned to calm each other down (and wind each other up). Being a twin is such a gift, I constantly feel like the happiest girl in the world because I have my twin. You're doing such a great job, Colleen! We love you
My twin brother and I are exactly the same! We are now 25, and still fight but not nearly as much now.
Also, you better record when they start talking in their twin talk.
Sup fellow twins
These vlogs really keep me going, these times are hard and we're going through it together
Yeah true
So true! Things are so rough for me right now and these always make me feel a little less alone. 💜
@@my_quiet_riot sending love and hugs, you'll get through this, even if it seems impossible!
@@rachelallison6651 me too! Sending love and hugs for you
I appreciate you being so vulnerable and real with how you’re feeling as a mom to newborns. I’m currently 37 weeks pregnant with my second, and I had a rough go with my first in those newborn days. Thank you for being open with how your feeling, it will help other moms not feel so alone.
Singing is amazing for calming babies! There’s some kind of science behind it Singing always helped calm my little girl!
Tortilla talk question: does Erik ever “wear” the babies? Maisy always looks so cozy and squishy. I love it!
a few vlogs back I’m pretty sure she mentioned it ☺️ I think she had Weasley and Erik had Maisy
I believe there a video of him wearing one of the babies lol or a pic Idk for sure I hope this help lol ❤️❤️☺️
Yeah he's definitely worn the babies!
When my sons where little, I remember being excited to wash the dishes because I could close my eyes WHILE washing dishes. I felt almost like i was napping. This too shall pass dear Colleen!
You are really impressive Colleen. You should be so proud of yourself how you are handle going from being a mum of 1 to a mum of 3!! And your always make time for each one of your kids. I also love how raw and real you are on here you really show us both sides the good and the bad. Love you 💕
You’re not boring!! I’m a mama of three with my youngest who was born in October 2021. I grew up watching UA-cam, but now you’re the only channel I watch. Usually while I’m pumping or doing dishes, cooking, laundry.. it never ends lol but watching your videos help me get it done. I appreciate how real and transparent you are. I feel like I’m talking to a friend when I watch your vlogs. So please know that you are amazing just as you are! 💜
Miss your vlogs but I’m glad your taking a break if you need one. Your Super Woman and I love your channel. I hope your doing well!
My heart absolutely melted when you were singing to the babies! I look up to you so much and in the future I will try to be nearly as great of a Mom as you are. Love you!
Same
I can't even imagine how hard having twins and Flynn is. Also, I still love and enjoy watching your videos even when you're not doing anything that you think is interesting. I'm praying for you and your adorable family, Colleen!
I haven’t missed a single video since you started daily vloging. You are the most relatable person and make me feel like a normal mom. Love you ♥️you’re doing great!
Same!!! Look forward to these everyday! And completely understand when she can’t. But it definitely got me through this pandemic 😷
Colleen, I worked in Early Childhood Development for almost 20 years. I worked and got my education with infants and toddlers. In an infant classroom we would have 4 infants to one caregiver. No swings, no bouncy seats, just boppies. I found the secret to keeping my sanity was sending all my beautiful babies home at the end of the day with their families and getting a good nights rest. Sleep deprivation is no joke and to see you taking care of your family everyday despite being exhausted is amazing. Being a parent is so hard, thank you for sharing your journey and all the beautiful milestones.
I will always watch all of your videos. NEVER apologize for crying. We all encourage you to express yourself, whether that be crying or laughing. We just want to know how you are genuinely doing. You should never feel like you have to hide any part of yourself from us. We love all sides of you and we will all be here for a virtual hug whenever you feel low or just overwhelmed. We love watching your babies grow and watching you and Erik grow as parents and as a family. You guys are doing amazing. I have been watching you since wayyy before Flynn was born and I love the progress you have made and the happiness you have acquired. You make us all proud mama, keep being exactly who you are❤️
Finding myself saying “awww Colleen” out loud when she starts crying 😭 I know it’s so hard now but I promise when they’re older there are some things that are so much easier having about having twins. When mine turned 18 months they became best friends and stopped bothering me lol I was able to get so much more done while they entertained each other. You can get thru this part I promise it gets so much better!
Colleen this is especially important to say if you feel even a LITTLE bit that your content isn't worth watching!
I have NEVER seen pregnancy and postpartum like how you're documenting it, and I can honestly say it's taught me more than any other piece of content what to expect in that stage of my life (I'm in my 20s and not quite there yet). I LOVE to see the rawness of your videos. Everyone else on the internet is so concerned with appearances but you show it all. You're a beaming light, Colleen, even (and maybe especially!) when you feel like you're hitting rock bottom. ❤
I just can't imagine how proud your grandpa would be of you.
And stop apologizing!!
You are doing amazing
Girrrrl! We love you! As a mom we stay tired & it does become our NORMAL. & it’s ok to CRY!!! I have a teen & a 1st grader & needs are ALL over the place. You just learn to Organize the chaos & appreciate the beauty of a healthy chaotic family!!! It’s all part of what life is! So GLAD you share the ride!!
THIS is reality! Thank you for showing these things because it is exactly what all of us mommas go through and it’s not easy! The baking cookies in the night cracks me up bc I always would do something to keep my mind busy and keep it from repeating “I’m tired, so tired, stop crying, I’m so tired”
Night always seems the hardest bc we are so worn down and the babies somehow love nighttime parties. Keep chugging along momma you’re killin it!
I'm in my third trimester of pregnancy and you have been an absolute life saver with your transparency and honesty. I feel so lucky to follow behind your journey by a few months so I know what to prepare for. Towards the end of your pregnancy, you talked a lot about how uncomfortable you were and it mentally prepared me for how uncomfortable I am now. I am now hyper aware of how exhausted I am going to be once my son is born.
I know it's hard to be vulnerable, but you make the biggest difference in the lives you touch. Thank you for all that you do!
Well said 🙌
Not a mom here and I love your content, I find myself watching your realistic day to day content way more actually!! It feels relatable and like I’m a friend.
personally I'm *even more* invested now watching you talk about the 💫reality of raising twins and a toddler💫 than I was before
YES COLLEEN!!! good for you for not apologizing for crying !! we all love and appreciate you. we wouldn’t be here otherwise. and yes people will stop watching but that would be true no matter what you’re doing!! the baby content is worth is for those who matter and truly support you!!! we love you colleen
At 6:00 minutes and before they are both looking at the camera… so cute 🥰
colleen...
we don't care how "boring" your life may seem to you (right now)! you are such a strong person and we all love you for it. we will always be watching your videos because *YOU'RE* awesome!
I love your videos. Even though I'm 16 and not even close to having kids, I love you talking about what you're going through. I've learned so much about pregnancy and taking care of babies and other things like that from your videos.
I'm 16 too and I just love her videos
she might not see this but I just wanted to let her know that I wouldn’t ever stop supporting her I’m 14 now and lowkey adore the momma talk😭 love that and her so much. she’s amazing
I'm 14 too and I'm obsessed with Colleen, her vlogs are the best part of my day 😭
@@xxmiamxx ongggg I love herrr
Same I’m 14 too and love every second of her vlogs
same im 14 and been watching since flynn
My dog literally came into my office from across the house to lay by me when you started singing. So precious.
I cannot tell you how appreciative this is to see. Being a mom is so flipping HARD. Beyond hard. It’s ok. Feel the feelings, Colleen. You never EVER need to apologize. I’m sending you all my love and strength.
Hey Colleen!!! Pleas read this I think it may help! ❤️I am not a mama, but my mom is a lactation consultant, and I asked her for help about how to help you make the transition from bottle to breastfeeding, and she sayed you should probably get a lactation consultant to help you, but she told me a trick to give to you! She stayed you should try instead of feeding the baby's directly from the bottle, you have to use a feeding tube that goes from the bottle to your breast hahaha I don't know how to explain it very well, but you stick the feeding tube that goes from the bottle and the tip of the tube should be next to your nipple, and that way the baby's have it easy to eat cause it's easyer from the tube than from the boob directly, but they go getting use to breastfeeding, and little by little they will like the breast better cause they see its not that difficult and they will give it a chance!! I hope you can understand it, if you need her instagram to ask any cuestions or anything we will be honored to help!! You are amazing!! ❤️❤️ (sorry if my English is not perfect) ✨❤️❤️
What a sweet comment! ❤️🙏🏻 I hope she sees this. We did this for my boys when we had trouble. It really works.
I really hope she sees this!!!
@@hollyruggeri5501 thank you!! I hope so! ❤️❤️
@@esos8006 ❤️❤️✨
This WHOLE vlog all i could think about is how the twins r going to watch this one day and loveee seeing you sing to them, and cry with you at the end, and thank you. This whole video made me sad that i dont have this footage of my own mom when i was a newborn. These vlogs are a gift
I would literally fly out to LA and take care of her kids for free.
Me too!!
I feel the same way! I live in Mass & honestly thought for a second should I move to LA & put my resume in the pile for the nanny position?!? Hahaha
Sadly that seemed like a pipe dream & wasn’t realistic.
Me too!!!
I’m so proud of you for not apologizing for crying Colleen, you deserve the world.
You are doing so well!! You are such a loving mama and I know how hard it is to see the good things in that much exhausting periods, but you are doing good. It gets better, stay strong and cry it out, if you feel tired and burnt out. Now I am at a point, where I no longer cry every day, but the first year...
It's hard to not have enough time for everyone and everything (older kid(s), relationships, end even for yourself...). I feel like the pandemic makes everything so much harder for parents. We have to stay strong, but its not easy to be a mom.
At every parent out there: you are doing great! Keep going, keep loving, keep crying, keep caring and keep the family running!
Having hard time does not for a second mean that you don't appreciate every moment of this stage. It means you are a hardworking momma that's doing your absolute best to give every ounce of your love to all three of your babies. You are exhausted because you aren't taking a moment for granted. I can tell how loved all your children are, and you can cry from exhaustion all you need to. Erik as well. This wouldn't be easy for anyone, but it's so worth it. You are doing amazing! Lots of love 💕
I would LOVE to see Colleen make dedicated videos singing opera! She is so talented!
I've had bouts of insomnia where I haven't slept in so long and I'm so emotionally drained that it feels like I'm losing my mind - I can't imagine adding 2 new babies to that mix. You guys are doing great
Oh my gosh when you started singing Se Tu Mami I almost started crying. I'm in college right now for a performance degree and I learned that song and love it. The idea of getting to sing it to my kids one day makes me heart want to explode. Everytime I think I can't possibly love you and your family more you do something else that makes me relate to you. Thank you
You are such an amazing mom, I love coming back and seeing how your doing and just listening to you talk about your life in general. Your vlogs are so real and that's what attracts me to them because u can really feel how genuine you are. Also I love how you're starting to accept your emotions and not apologize anymore, negative emotions are what bring out the best in us in the end❤️
Colleen your vlogs have gotten me through a really rough patch in my chronic illness journey! Thank you so so much for sharing your life! I love you so much 🥺💖
She has really helped me as well. I struggle with chronic illness as well. Sending you love. 💗 it’s weird how she describes life for her right now is my daily life but without children. Some days it’s impossible to take care of myself or even get out of bed.
Same. I struggle with chronic illnesses and I really enjoy her videos. I look forward to winding down each night and watching her and her sweet little family. 💜 sending love to you and all chronic warriors!
Ahhhh I cannot wait to see the twins grow, looking back now we’ve literally all watched flynn grow into the coolest little guy ever I cannot wait to see their personalities omg!!
Me too!!!
I'm 19; I have 8 older biological siblings, and I've been an aunt since I was 6. Watching her ideas helps me cope with not being able to be with my family. I love listening to my 5 older sisters talk about motherhood! It helps me to prepare to be a mom, because I know that's my purpose in this life, just as you have said before. Thanks, Colleen! 💜💜💜
Don’t ever apologize girl. It is hard. Especially with more than one. Make sure you speak up if you need help. Don’t ever be afraid to ask for help. Stay strong mama! You got this
colleen i am literally 14 and i’m always entertained and hit with good vibes every single time i watch one of your vlogs. I watched you religiously every single day back when i was online and flynn was a little baby and even tho i’m busier now with irl school i still watch you whenever i go on youtube. i also have other friends in my grade that religiously watched or are still watching you too so never underestimate the amount that we appreciate your videos even if to you they may seem boring, they’re the highlight of our days
I feel like now that they’re getting bigger they’re starting to look more alike! Especially when they were laying on the floor while you sang and they were looking the same direction, sweetest little twinsies!
The joy and ease you can see in those babies when they hear their mama sing is so beautiful!
Tortilla talk question: Who do you think the twins are going to look like more when they are older? Love u Colleen 😊❤️
I love that question!
Thank you so much for taking us on the wild ride of bringing up your family! From one Mama to another your feelings are so valid. Praying you get a nap soon!
We love you Colleen! I may be at a different stage in life but I've been where you are with preemie babies and I can relate! You're doing an amazing job and I find so much comfort in our shared humanity! Thank you for sharing your life with us and stay strong mama!
I feel like every soprano has sung that Italian aria at some point, I know I have! 😂 I love you and your videos, I’ve been watching you for years. You are doing amazing mama!! ❤️❤️
I tried it when I was in high School and it didn't go to well
Idk there’s something about watching your everyday life that is soothing to me. Love seeing the day-to-day mom stuff that you don’t always see on a regular vlogging channel. You should not feel bad about your work load changing as you become a mom! You are definitely NOT lazy!! The other great thing about the daily vlogs is we all get to see just how busy you are!!!
I COMMENTED BEFORE WAITRESSSSSSSSSS omg thanks for a tiny taste of my favorite show. Made me smile ☺️ I wish I was a soprano so much! You sound gorgeous!
Don’t EVER apologize you are a valid person!!! You got this, you’re so amazing and strong ❤️ I could never do what you do
Colleen singing You Used to Be Mine gave me the shivers and almost made me cry. She has the gentle, sweet, loving mom energy and her voice sounds so beautiful when she sings that song.
I am just sending you so many hugs. You are so brave, and there is strength in your tears. you love soo deeply. You are doing a great job. Its ok to not be ok. And I love how you are intentionally taking time to make your self a sweet ass coffee and cookies as a part of your self care. You are amazing!!!!
I love how Maisy kept automatically tilting her head back to look straight into the camera while you were singing to the twins on the floor. She might enjoy being in front of the camera and have a flair for the dramatic, just like you described her!
I sang that same song in Italian to my babies when they were little. Who knew the college music training would come into use as a parent.
You do not sound lazy! The fact you even keep up with vlogging, the podcast, miranda videos AND full time baby raising is amazing and I do not know how you do ALL of those things!! You're doing a fantastic job
Collen I will not stop watching you. You post really amazing vlogs while taking care of three kids I could never. Love your vids.
I don’t think I’ll ever stop watching, I am 17 and it makes my day to watch your videos and it really cheers me up, Flynn is hilarious and I’ve loved watching him grow up, I’ve never found a vlog of yours boring
I have watched almost every vlog since Flynn was born, and they have been essential in getting me though lockdown. We love watching you go about your day, no matter how boring you think it is. I feel like we're all a big family, going through our ups and downs together. We love you Colleen!
I totally understand your postpartum struggle it's so hard agreed and indescribable feeling almost !! Hang in there lovely! We hear you girl and support you in spirit !
I'm curious as to whether there are actually people out there that find this boring? Girl I'm entertained the entire time, all the mom talk, cute babies and adorable husb/wife moments.. 💜
I don't know what I'd do if I didn't get these family updates. Even just the sweet little moments with the babies. It makes me feel like I'm a part of this amazing family! 💜
Same ❤️
I mean I enjoy it but it's a bit repetitive
@@marieantoinettepaddelboot3149 then don’t watch 🤷🏻♀️
I know, right? Also, I kinda wish I was really part of the fam so I could help them with the babies, because, not to toot my own horn, I kinda am a baby whisperer, so if anything, she'd be able to take that nap that she needs.
@@hollyruggeri5501 like I said, I enjoy it.
Colleen, mother of 3 kids saying she feels boring for not vlogging about anything else than her life.
ME sitting here every day so happy just to see a few minutes of her everyday life. Colleen, youre not boring! You feel like a friend to me kind of in a weird way, like ive followed you since I wasnt sure miranda was a weird girl on the internet or a character. Just seeing you being yourself, and that your life is good and your babies are good is just all I can ask for. You dont have to worry about being boring, cause you never are! Also, you are like a superwoman. Im not a mom, but all moms get this superpower I swear. I dont know how any of you are doing all that
these vlogs have become a part of my daily routine over the last year or two ? i watch them every night before bed and just listening to colleen talk is so therapeutic. im 18 and never get sick of listening to mom struggles i feel like i know colleen because of how relaxed and real her videos are
