It weirds me out that people can choose 100% before they even see their baby! My husband and I had names we liked but didn't make any actual decisions until our kids were born and we'd spent time with them.
When that lock popped open, I cant even begin to tell you how hard I laughed. That is such a relatable moment for me. NOTHING EVER WORKS until I try to PROVE it's not working to someone else.
You guys probably felt like fainting cause Calgary is at a much higher elevation than you’re used to experiencing! I felt so proud of Calgary when you were raving about it in this video 🥺 Thank you so much for coming! My friend and I had the best time at your show! 🥰
I absolutely LOVE the black sparkly top + skirt combo with the rhinestone boots, Colleen! I am so excited to see the other sparkly outfit options you showed! These days all I seem to wear are jeans or sweatpants- you’ve got me feeling inspired to dress up in something fun, cute, and comfortable!
Hi Colleen! A little tip for storing your birth control pills: cut the corners into curves using scissors so you will no longer get accidental cuts when going through your bag. I have been doing this and it's been very helpful! I hope this tip will help you and others too! I hope you're all doing well 🤍
I love that we are all unapologetically a blankie generation raising more blankie kids. Power to the comfort objects! (This comment brought to you because I spied your blankie in the first shot 😊)
Colleen, thank you for sacrificing time with your babies for tour. I got my tickets for the Calgary show a long time ago and last night was finally the night. You absolutely blew me away, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but was so impressed. I get nervous going to see people I watch on UA-cam or listen to podcasts because sometimes it can change your perspective of them, but my respect for you and your talent grew even more. I had a baby (my first) April 2020 and it was scary and so unbelievably isolating, but your vlogs brought me comfort each day, and made me feel like I wasn’t as alone. Thank you for all you do and sacrifices you’re making to make this tour happen, you’re truly making an impact on more people than you even know. Also side note: everyone at the show was so nice and cool, I’m proud to be part of this community.
i really recommend listening to the avett brothers episode of pete holmes's podcast, "you made it weird." they talk about being parents and touring and feeling the same types of feelings that you're dealing with leaving the people you love to do the thing you love. they also talk about a lot of other wonderful topics and perspectives as artists, highly recommend to everyone. i love you colleen!!
The sparkle homemade rhinestone moments are so flattering! I personally love them more than your previous dresses! Shine mama shine, sparkle baby sparkle! Sidenote: my son,10, and I are going to the Anaheim show and we are so excited. I'm a long time fan, and i can't begin to explain in how many ways I relate to you (ADHD, dermatillomania, difficult pregnancy, etc) we also have very similar quirks. your blogs make me feel like there are others like us. It's comforting. Thanks. I hope one day I get to meet you to say so in person. ❤️
I came and saw your Calgary show with my husband, I have been watching you for about nine years and wanted to go to your 2020 show, which of course never happened. So glad you were still able to come two years later! I'm glad you enjoyed your time. And you're not missing much at stampede!
Thank you for being an amazing human being, you bring a smile to my face everyday with your stories and family. You give me such motivation to advocate for myself when it comes to my mental health. Thank you for being you 100% and being so real it makes me feel not alone:-)
I'm so excited to see you in Vancouver on Tuesday! I'm so glad you're enjoying Canada, it's really cool to see people who aren't from here enjoy the cities:)❤️ I feel like we get to used to it, we don't notice the beauty everyday. You'd love Vancouver Island, you should take a trip there with your family sometime!
I think it's so sweet colleen always mentions how appreciative she is to her fans for the ability to travel and live her dream but I hope she also gives herself the credit she deserves. She obviously has worked very hard and loves what she does even now. I think she is an inspiration to not only anyone who watches her but also her children.
Colleen right before you said I'm not sure about this outfit I was thinking to myself about how FREAKING GEORGOUS you looked. I love you and your family and watching your videos is always the highlight of my day. ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Collene! I wanted to let you know that today I finished my very first doula training in the process of becoming a certified doula. I wanted to thank you for inspiring me and helping me realize that I wanted to support people on their birthing journey! Your volgs durring your pregnancy with the twins were so informative and such a big part of my becoming interested in doula work and it’s only because you were so transparent with your audience. It’s so nice to see you now being able to look at certain moments of Maisey and Wesley’s birthday with excitement and joy 🤍 Love you!
Colleen, I am so grateful for you and so happy you came to Calgary. Your the first UA-camr I’ve gotten to see, it was such a privilege and incredible experience to get to be at your live show in person. I’ve watched you for years and never thought I’d ever get the opportunity to see you in person so thank you! I can’t say I’m the biggest fan of Miranda but I’ve been a huge fan of you for such a long time, I haven’t missed a vlog since you started them and they’ve been a major highlight in my life. You’re videos have helped me through so much and I appreciate you beyond words. I am thankful for how real you are, your worst of days have shown me that I am not alone, that it’s okay to not be okay. And they’ve also taught me that nobody’s life is always sunshine and rainbows, so I shouldn’t be so hard on myself. Those vlogs where you’re doing good have been a really good distraction, because for a couple of minutes I get to see a bit of what your life is like, and in those few moments I could forget the nightmare I was living in, for awhile I could at least feel okay. You’ve gotten me through so much and I am so appreciative. I honestly don’t know if I’d be here today, if it wasn’t for you. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you! Thank you for being my flashlight to guide me out of this dark tunnel. You’re show was amazing and I hope you enjoyed Calgary, it’s a beautiful city. Thank you for being such an amazing and admirable human being♥️
TTQ: Now that you’re touring in Canada, it made me remember you mentioning before about possibly moving there, have you and Erik continued to consider this possibility with house hunting you are doing at the moment or are you no longer considering the move? Love watching your daily vlogs❤️
@@reesequam7625 I have never had In n Out but there was a DELICIOUS sub place near my hometown in Wisconsin. I still moved to Canada because and am so happy I did, there are so many other delicious food options, and I look forward to visiting family so I can enjoy the subs then. I don't think a few restaurants alone would deter me from moving, cuisine is similar enough. Not having a Target is a big one though, but I can still make a day (or weekend) trip to the US to get shopping done. So not that big of a deal
Hi Colleen! Just wanted to say, I was watching Lizzo on Carpool Karaoke at 1am, rocking my baby back to sleep, and your TikTok video is shown (11:45)…tiny, but definitely there! That’s all. Have a great day! Love your videos!
Tortilla Talk Question: In the podcast you have talked about the difficulty of introducing important concepts to Flynn. (death, Earth, etc.) Have you come across any more instances like this if so what? And are you dreading him or the twins asking about any topic in particular?
Hi Colleen! I wish I could of seen you here in Winnipeg. I recommend coming to Winnipeg in the winter time because the fork is beautiful in the winter! Lots of Christmas lights, skating, and much more! You came here just in time! 💕
Hello, Colleen! I drove 3 hours with my family to come your Calgary show and it was amazing! You did an awesome job and myself and the audience had lots of laughs. Thank you for being such a good roll model and inspiration for me! (your merch is very good quality and I lobe it)
I’m so psyched to see the Winnipeg footage! I totally suggested some spots to visit in a previous comment, including the Forks and I think I mentioned Wienerpeg because I love the corn dogs and fries there. If you ever visit Winnipeg again, I would definitely show you around for free. I usud to lead tours at a historic site, so showing you around would be so fun! Also Winnipeg weather has big extremes in temp throughout the year. The weather can get down to -40 celsius (with windchill) and up around 32 Celsius at the hotter end. It’s getting more intense with global warming. Our summers are relatively short, usually last frost is mid-May and the first frost is usually around the end of September. Glad you enjoyed your visit here!
Hey Colleen, just wanted to send a little comment saying how my sister and I were blessed with your presence in Calgary. It was one of the best nights I've had in a long time and you all did so well! When we took a picture with you, I was wayyy too uncomfortable to say anything and just awkwardly waved but when we were done, I was making jokes with my sister like "No one here knows they are in the presence of someone who just meet Colleen Ballinger" and more, it was just so fun. Also, all of Calgary probably feels so honoured that you think it's a cool city. Ok love ya byeee
when i was little my mom went on vacation for a week and all i remember from that was how much fun i had with my dad and my sister i guarantee you flynn is having so much fun with his dad and his siblings and will not think of this time as the time he had without you but will think of it as the time he had with his dad and siblings and then he'll remember all the amazing stories you have and the gifts and when he's older he can experience it with you and even be apart of it if he so pleases im sure he misses you but he's also probably so proud of you for chasing your dreams and being the best mother on this planet
The song you played at 6:00 reminded me of Christmas music kind of and I’ve been craving the holidays so now I’m super excited for your holiday videos 🤣🤦🏻♀️
TTQ: As someone who is aspiring to go into theatre, how was your Waitress experience? What were the highs and the lows, is there any advice or things I should know? I'm from the UK, so I would more be aiming for the West End rather than Broadway, but the idea still stands and I think there are definite cross overs between the two Also, how would I help my parents come round to the idea more? They are very adamant that, while they will support me in whatever I do, they just don't think it is the best career path, because of how unreliable it can be, but the ideas of what they think I would be great at are not things I would want to do Basically, what sort of advice do you have for an aspiring theatre performer? Seeing how hard you work, not only as a parent, but doing the things you love is so inspiring for someone within your slightly younger audience - if I could even half as incredible as you are, I would be winning at life. I would love to get to meet you one day if I ever got the chance! Love from across the pond x
Hey Colleen I met you at the meet and greet in Calgary (I was the pregnant nauseous one 😅) you are just as sweet and beautiful in person! Thanks for taking the time to do a meet a greet it is was so nice to met you! I drove 7 hours from Saskatchewan to see you and it was so worth it. Next tour come to Saskatchewan Canada we would love to have you!
I lived in Winnipeg for five years and am from Manitoba, in Canada. The Forks is the best, glad you got to see it! You should definitely go back when you have more time.
I'm from Winnipeg and I appreciate you so much for talking positively about Winnipeg! We are known for our slurpees and murders, and being the "Detroit" of Canada. When I've traveled to other provinces other Canadians have a shit attitude about us. This was such a breath of fresh air! 😊🥰💕
Dear Colleen I hope you see this, You came to Calgary this past weekend when I was at my absolute lowest and I know the trip out was extremely emotional and hard for you as you missed your family and I felt that so much as I have moved to Canada and left my family behind in South Africa, I miss them so much it hurts, recently my anxiety and depression have been at an all time high and I honestly didn't know how to survive anymore your vlogs have helped me cope with the traumatic move and missing my family but also through my chronic illness, endometriosis, which alot of the symptoms are the same as what you had while you were pregnant...so you know they suck and I felt a little less alone, your videos encouraged me to push through the hard days and let me know it was okay to cry my freaking eyes out sometimes because some days just SUCK!! Anyways I just wanted to say seeing your show live put a huge smile on my face and I just wanted to say thank you I know it was hard for you to leave your home, I haven't felt home in a long time and your show helped a bit with my homesickness. I wish I could've afforded the vip and actually meet you as this is a very long message that I hope you'll one day be able to read and know that your vlogs are kind of holding me together some days so thanks for being so kind and real and feeling like a friend when I miss home so much or am in pain cause of my chronic illness xx Love Cara-Leigh a South African 🇿🇦 living in Canada 🇨🇦
i know it seems SO hard as the kids are so so little and don’t understand that their mom has to work away. but trust me as the grow older and experience more of your life as a influencer and performer they will get it! they can even come with you! i promise that they will never ever forget you and they know you love them more than anything in the world. i admire you for the STRENGTH that it takes to leave your babies and toddler for a week. they look up to you and i know they’ll see how hard you work to make others happy💗 you truly are the best colleen! the guilt is normal even though they love you so very much it feels like you’re missing too much but know they love you just the same and the hugs at the end of the trip make it all worth it ❤️hang in there!
Please, the suitcase combination fiasco was so funny 😂😂😂. ALSO, it’s so nice to see you in hotel rooms that aren’t covered in bugs and dirt lol love that for you 😂❤️🥰
as a canadian... i LOVED this vlog and colleen hyping canada up although I am impressed that you made winter-peg (Winnipeg) look so flattering 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Ahhh hearing you talk about stampede MADE my day. I'm from Calgary and I work a lot and couldn't come to the show.. I am beyond sad thinking that you will never come back to Canada, so atleast hearing you talk so sweetly about Canada made me so happy. Hope to come to a future show 💓
Colleen, as someone whose mom occasionally traveled for work when I was little for about a week at a time, I hardly remember it and I was a few years older than Flynn is right now. The only part that I remember is that she got to go to cool places and brought me back gifts that I still have today. I may have missed her while she was gone but I knew that she was going because it was her job and I was never mad at her for leaving. I hope if you see this that it can give you at least a little peace of mind to know that Flynn and the twins may miss you but I don't think they will ever hold it against you. It will just make them all more excited when you come home. ❤
In college I was very active on campus because when I stayed busy and did things I loved, I wouldn’t think too hard about being away from home and missing my family. Doing college theatre didn’t detract from my love for my family, nor did the moments where I just wanted to be home take away from how much I loved performing. Figured I share this tidbit from my life because it’s pretty clear to anyone who watches, how much you adore your family AND your fans 💜
As a Canadian, it so cool to see you experiencing and loving Canada! I’m also very grateful all of the shows went on as planned - a lot of Canada had a telecommunications issue on July 8th and seeing some of the dates in the vlogs made me nervous (hopefully some other Canadians can relate) 😂 enjoy the rest of your time here!!! ❤️🇨🇦
Glad we had Shaw and not Telus... a lot of my friends said they couldn't use their phones or computers at all the internet cut.... I was grateful to at least have wifi to communicate with people. I had some appts and I just kept thinking... is this it? Is the apocalypse happening right now (since it was a huge issue a lot of places)
@@Stephinachan13 hopefully Rogers and Shaw don’t merge! Everything for us was out - internet, phone, we stream instead of using cable so all we had was radio haha. Definitely woke up feeling like I was in apocalypse, especially when we found out interact and 911 were having issues. I had a video appointment and was luckily able to get wifi at a nearby school for it! Such a weird issue and day.
@@Stephinachan13 my shaw at home worked, and the one time i’m thankful for telus, my wifi at work was fine and we could at least take credit cards or it’d have screwed the busiest day of the week for us 😂
tortilla talk question: do you ever fantasize about the kids’ futures or what they’ll be like? like if they do something that you or erik does lots of love ❤️, sophia
@ Hassan Raashid I think they said that at first mainly would be kinda a know it all kinda sassy in a way but behind the scenes sort of thing be very loving and grateful for her family
Tortilla Talk Question: has Flynn ever gotten a little jealous of how much attention the twins get? he was so used to getting all of the attention and then BOOM, he has 2 more siblings! he’s really good at expressing his feelings so that’s why i’m asking this. love you colleen! 🥰
i just got to say, seeing you live has been my dream. i have been watching you for my entire life pretty much. i am currently 14. you are such a huge inspiration to me and so many other people. your show was hilarious and made my day and i really hope that i can see you perform in calgary again! im so sorry that you miss your children i bet its super hard but you are such an amazing person and i love you so much! Have fun touring the rest of the world!
i absolutely LOVE hearing you talk about how much you love canada. it’s refreshing, as a canadian, because we are very overlooked! you’re always welcome in canada 🍁!! i also love that you were in alberta during stampede, you got to see calgary in its truest form 😂 oh also, weather is cold for 70% of the year(for the more southern provinces), summer gets pretty hot now tho because of climate change😬 Love your video as always! you totally got me with the title hahah
@@katwalks i was half joking, bc of the stereotype that canada is always cold and we all live in igloos. but there actually is literal evidence of the summers getting hotter and winters getting colder over the years… so the climate is changing 😂 even if it’s not a lot
Colleen, I know you’re not in LA right now, but I just wanted to say that you and Erik are raising such empathetic, kind, loving and compassionate children. The type of kids you are raising are the type that whoever they decide to be friends with or be in relationships with will feel safe around. Love you Colleen. Keep doing what you’re doing!
The reason it can feel warm but only be in 60s and 50 degrees in Canada and northern places is because in the summer the sun is alway directly pointing down on you as if it was noon for the whole day! It’s pretty cool and I love it because I can go to the lake when it is 65 degrees! (I live in Anchorage Alaska!)
I was so excited for the vlog when you reached Calgary because I grew up there ✌ Btw the reason you might have been feeling faint is because Calgary is very high altitude, you went up by about 2500ft from Winnipeg and you're used to living at sea level.
Hey Colleen! I came to your Calgary show. I’m just teenager and I have been watching you since I was 6. I love your work and think you’re absolutely hilarious. Your show was amazing, funny and just so much fun, and i couldn’t have been more pleased to see you in person! I also loved how you tried to become Canadian so you wouldn’t be cancelled- you were great at it!! I love you Colleen 😊
Liking the new end slate, Kory and Colleen! Hope the rest of Canada will treat you well, you'll be hugging Flynn, Wesley, and Maisy again before you know it, Colleen! 💕
Ok Colleen time for you to learn about the Calgary Stampede, The stampede is 10 days in July where everyone dusts off their cowboy hat and boots and heads down to the grounds where there are rides galore and strange but tasty foods, the chuckwagon races and rodeo as well as grandstand show with fireworks are some crowd favorites. There are shops and animals to visit and plenty of fun. There is also lots of live music to enjoy! Its a bummer you didn't get to visit but when Flynn and the twins are older you should definitely bring them for a few days for rides and yummy food.
Tortilla talk question: what is your opinion on teen mom's? Do you support? What advice would you give to teen mother's? And how would you handle it if Maisy became one ? Sending love to you and your family!!🥰❤️❤️✌️
Totally Bias and Proud Canadian here.. but I just gotta say I freaking LOVED this vlog! I'm so glad you are enjoying your time in this beautiful country I'm grateful to call home! You're making me crave a cross-country road trip.. now I just wish I could take some time off work. You live such an interesting life... You may think you're being boring, but I just can't get enough of your little adventures. 🥰
Hey Colleen! Don’t forget to get poutine while you’re in Canada! Also when you said you needed to drink water I drank water too because I never do when I should lol. And when you “complain” there is nothing wrong with “venting”! Sometimes it’s good to let out your frustration so please don’t apologize! We all know you are grateful every day you are a humble and kind person. I love you!! Can’t wait for the next vlog!
I love you so much Colleen, you are such an inspiration to millions of people. I aspire to be just like you one day because you are literally the kindest most genuine person. You are such a role model to so many of us and i want to thank you for everything you do. We love you xxoxoxo
Colleen, I’m glad you enjoyed my hometown of Winnipeg. I wish I could have seen your show but, it was sold out. So fingers crossed that you can come again one day and explore more of Canada. Love you girl.
Tortilla talk question: you may have talked about this already but I watch almost every single one of your vlogs daily so I hope I didn’t miss the answer but I’ve been wondering what Erik does for work? I know he was doing acting but does he still do that or does he primarily stay home with the kids now? Love you! Also I know you like hearing where everyone’s from so I’m from Ohio! :)
I think he's still an actor, I guess with acting in general a lot of it is auditions and waiting, but I can imagine that he might be waiting to take another job until the twins are older.
I’m so glad that you like Calgary! From where I was sitting in the theatre when we shined our lights, it was so bright in there! I also felt a little nauseous being in there, maybe because I was exited to see you… possibly with a side of lasagna. I haven’t been there so the setting wasn’t what I was expecting. I absolutely loved your show and so did my sister! We both had an amazing time!💗
The room service you always get from hotels always looks so delicious!! Love the little transitions you added in the video, come through editing skills 😊
I know it was only a second of the vlog, but I loved watching you pick out your outfit for some reason!!! I know you think you don't have really good style when it comes to clothes but you do, your outfits are always so pretty!
Colleen: talking about how she thought she was going to faint. Me: She Pregnant! Also Colleen- but Christen and Cory said they felt like they were gonna faint too. Also me: THERE ALL PREGRENT 😂😂
it seems so difficult to choose a person’s name without really knowing how they’re gonna be
Jesus loves you ❤️ ❤️
It weirds me out that people can choose 100% before they even see their baby! My husband and I had names we liked but didn't make any actual decisions until our kids were born and we'd spent time with them.
@@kz689 we picked our boys names before they were born but I think that’s because we used biblical/Gaelic/family names with special meanings to us
@@baxterbunch my friends parents were the same
no Fr i want to give my kids names when there like 5 😭
When that lock popped open, I cant even begin to tell you how hard I laughed. That is such a relatable moment for me. NOTHING EVER WORKS until I try to PROVE it's not working to someone else.
Same and her reaction made it even more hilarious
Omg... SAME!!! 😂

Great question!!
Probably not to have them because they’re the worst.
@Adora Belle right!? 😑 what’s wrong with these people
I don’t have kids but I love to watch them and I would tell myself don’t listen to when people say they steal away your life
To not have kids 😆😆

I don't think a few restaurants alone would deter me from moving, cuisine is similar enough. Not having a Target is a big one though, but I can still make a day (or weekend) trip to the US to get shopping done. So not that big of a deal
I'm loving the production value in this vlog colleen. The transitions, the montages... top tier. ur effort is much appreciated.
Hi Colleen! Just wanted to say, I was watching Lizzo on Carpool Karaoke at 1am, rocking my baby back to sleep, and your TikTok video is shown (11:45)…tiny, but definitely there!
That’s all. Have a great day! Love your videos!
It’s so cool how excited and energized you are after your shows!! I get that way too when I spend time doing what I’m passionate about!!
Tortilla Talk Question: In the podcast you have talked about the difficulty of introducing important concepts to Flynn. (death, Earth, etc.) Have you come across any more instances like this if so what? And are you dreading him or the twins asking about any topic in particular?
oooo good question
i don’t watch the podcast so what do you mean by earth?
@@monica48760 one time Flynn asked “what is earth?” to Colleen cause Flynn only knew that he lived in his house, and not on earth.
Good question!
Hi Colleen! I wish I could of seen you here in Winnipeg. I recommend coming to Winnipeg in the winter time because the fork is beautiful in the winter! Lots of Christmas lights, skating, and much more! You came here just in time! 💕
Hello, Colleen! I drove 3 hours with my family to come your Calgary show and it was amazing! You did an awesome job and myself and the audience had lots of laughs. Thank you for being such a good roll model and inspiration for me! (your merch is very good quality and I lobe it)
I’m so psyched to see the Winnipeg footage! I totally suggested some spots to visit in a previous comment, including the Forks and I think I mentioned Wienerpeg because I love the corn dogs and fries there. If you ever visit Winnipeg again, I would definitely show you around for free. I usud to lead tours at a historic site, so showing you around would be so fun!
Also Winnipeg weather has big extremes in temp throughout the year. The weather can get down to -40 celsius (with windchill) and up around 32 Celsius at the hotter end. It’s getting more intense with global warming. Our summers are relatively short, usually last frost is mid-May and the first frost is usually around the end of September.
Glad you enjoyed your visit here!
Hey Colleen, just wanted to send a little comment saying how my sister and I were blessed with your presence in Calgary. It was one of the best nights I've had in a long time and you all did so well! When we took a picture with you, I was wayyy too uncomfortable to say anything and just
awkwardly waved but when we were done, I was making jokes with my sister like "No one here knows they are in the presence of someone who just meet Colleen Ballinger" and more, it was just so fun. Also, all of Calgary probably feels so honoured that you think it's a cool city. Ok love ya byeee
this is for sure my new comfort vlog
when i was little my mom went on vacation for a week and all i remember from that was how much fun i had with my dad and my sister i guarantee you flynn is having so much fun with his dad and his siblings and will not think of this time as the time he had without you but will think of it as the time he had with his dad and siblings and then he'll remember all the amazing stories you have and the gifts and when he's older he can experience it with you and even be apart of it if he so pleases im sure he misses you but he's also probably so proud of you for chasing your dreams and being the best mother on this planet
this video was so CUTE! i love the little transitions and cute edits
Hey Colleen!
The song you played at 6:00 reminded me of Christmas music kind of and I’ve been craving the holidays so now I’m super excited for your holiday videos 🤣🤦🏻♀️
Ooh me too!!
TTQ: do you know as a vlogger how much it truly means to be there for us by just living your everyday. i love you so much and you saved me
Coleen, I just want you to know that I love you! You are amazing! You inspire me and I hope to be like you when I grow up!
TTQ: As someone who is aspiring to go into theatre, how was your Waitress experience? What were the highs and the lows, is there any advice or things I should know? I'm from the UK, so I would more be aiming for the West End rather than Broadway, but the idea still stands and I think there are definite cross overs between the two
Also, how would I help my parents come round to the idea more? They are very adamant that, while they will support me in whatever I do, they just don't think it is the best career path, because of how unreliable it can be, but the ideas of what they think I would be great at are not things I would want to do
Basically, what sort of advice do you have for an aspiring theatre performer?
Seeing how hard you work, not only as a parent, but doing the things you love is so inspiring for someone within your slightly younger audience - if I could even half as incredible as you are, I would be winning at life. I would love to get to meet you one day if I ever got the chance! Love from across the pond x
Hey Colleen I met you at the meet and greet in Calgary (I was the pregnant nauseous one 😅) you are just as sweet and beautiful in person! Thanks for taking the time to do a meet a greet it is was so nice to met you! I drove 7 hours from Saskatchewan to see you and it was so worth it. Next tour come to Saskatchewan Canada we would love to have you!
You should do a vacation across Canada! Enjoy our beautiful country! 💛💛 I'm from Calgary and I'm glad you enjoyed our city!
I lived in Winnipeg for five years and am from Manitoba, in Canada. The Forks is the best, glad you got to see it! You should definitely go back when you have more time.
i love how colleen goes between her miranda voice and her regular voice when showing us her clothes
I'm from Winnipeg and I appreciate you so much for talking positively about Winnipeg! We are known for our slurpees and murders, and being the "Detroit" of Canada. When I've traveled to other provinces other Canadians have a shit attitude about us. This was such a breath of fresh air! 😊🥰💕
Haha slurpees and murders
@@nelia8352 true story man 😂 going to get myself a slurpee today
The transitions in this video are so cool
OH MY GOSH it’s so funny hearing you talk about stampede! Tons of my friends flew out for it
Dear Colleen I hope you see this, You came to Calgary this past weekend when I was at my absolute lowest and I know the trip out was extremely emotional and hard for you as you missed your family and I felt that so much as I have moved to Canada and left my family behind in South Africa, I miss them so much it hurts, recently my anxiety and depression have been at an all time high and I honestly didn't know how to survive anymore your vlogs have helped me cope with the traumatic move and missing my family but also through my chronic illness, endometriosis, which alot of the symptoms are the same as what you had while you were pregnant...so you know they suck and I felt a little less alone, your videos encouraged me to push through the hard days and let me know it was okay to cry my freaking eyes out sometimes because some days just SUCK!! Anyways I just wanted to say seeing your show live put a huge smile on my face and I just wanted to say thank you I know it was hard for you to leave your home, I haven't felt home in a long time and your show helped a bit with my homesickness. I wish I could've afforded the vip and actually meet you as this is a very long message that I hope you'll one day be able to read and know that your vlogs are kind of holding me together some days so thanks for being so kind and real and feeling like a friend when I miss home so much or am in pain cause of my chronic illness xx
Love Cara-Leigh a South African 🇿🇦 living in Canada 🇨🇦
i know it seems SO hard as the kids are so so little and don’t understand that their mom has to work away. but trust me as the grow older and experience more of your life as a influencer and performer they will get it! they can even come with you! i promise that they will never ever forget you and they know you love them more than anything in the world. i admire you for the STRENGTH that it takes to leave your babies and toddler for a week. they look up to you and i know they’ll see how hard you work to make others happy💗 you truly are the best colleen! the guilt is normal even though they love you so very much it feels like you’re missing too much but know they love you just the same and the hugs at the end of the trip make it all worth it ❤️hang in there!
Please, the suitcase combination fiasco was so funny 😂😂😂. ALSO, it’s so nice to see you in hotel rooms that aren’t covered in bugs and dirt lol love that for you 😂❤️🥰
This was such a fun video and I loved the editing and it looked like you had a great time filing it too.
as a canadian... i LOVED this vlog and colleen hyping canada up
although I am impressed that you made winter-peg (Winnipeg) look so flattering
🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Ahhh hearing you talk about stampede MADE my day. I'm from Calgary and I work a lot and couldn't come to the show.. I am beyond sad thinking that you will never come back to Canada, so atleast hearing you talk so sweetly about Canada made me so happy. Hope to come to a future show 💓
I love her face when she unlocked the suitcase!😂 It was so funny!
It was birth 🤣
That outfit is everything. The fit the combo, it's all incredible.
TTQ: Does Flynn ever get jealous when you play with the babies? I love your podcast! Its so fun and hilarious! Love yall! -H
It's probably more likely that Colleen and Erik get jealous seeing how much the twins adore Flynn :)
i love the outfit you wore in this more than the dresses and heels tbh because i loveee sparkles and the outfit is so so cute!
Colleen, as someone whose mom occasionally traveled for work when I was little for about a week at a time, I hardly remember it and I was a few years older than Flynn is right now. The only part that I remember is that she got to go to cool places and brought me back gifts that I still have today. I may have missed her while she was gone but I knew that she was going because it was her job and I was never mad at her for leaving. I hope if you see this that it can give you at least a little peace of mind to know that Flynn and the twins may miss you but I don't think they will ever hold it against you. It will just make them all more excited when you come home. ❤
In college I was very active on campus because when I stayed busy and did things I loved, I wouldn’t think too hard about being away from home and missing my family. Doing college theatre didn’t detract from my love for my family, nor did the moments where I just wanted to be home take away from how much I loved performing. Figured I share this tidbit from my life because it’s pretty clear to anyone who watches, how much you adore your family AND your fans 💜
Can we all appreciate her posting and making everyones day❤️❤️
Would love if you planned tour dates in either Indianapolis, Louisville, or Cincinnati!
As a Canadian, it so cool to see you experiencing and loving Canada! I’m also very grateful all of the shows went on as planned - a lot of Canada had a telecommunications issue on July 8th and seeing some of the dates in the vlogs made me nervous (hopefully some other Canadians can relate) 😂 enjoy the rest of your time here!!! ❤️🇨🇦
yuuuuuuuup, brutally annoying 🤣🤦🏻♀️
Glad we had Shaw and not Telus... a lot of my friends said they couldn't use their phones or computers at all the internet cut.... I was grateful to at least have wifi to communicate with people.
I had some appts and I just kept thinking... is this it? Is the apocalypse happening right now (since it was a huge issue a lot of places)
@@Stephinachan13 hopefully Rogers and Shaw don’t merge! Everything for us was out - internet, phone, we stream instead of using cable so all we had was radio haha. Definitely woke up feeling like I was in apocalypse, especially when we found out interact and 911 were having issues. I had a video appointment and was luckily able to get wifi at a nearby school for it! Such a weird issue and day.
@@Stephinachan13 my shaw at home worked, and the one time i’m thankful for telus, my wifi at work was fine and we could at least take credit cards or it’d have screwed the busiest day of the week for us 😂
i loved all the different transitions and shots you did in this vlog!
tortilla talk question:
do you ever fantasize about the kids’ futures or what they’ll be like? like if they do something that you or erik does
lots of love ❤️,
sophia
off topic but my name is also Sophia L
@@iphoneadds9945 literally slay 🫶
I'm Sophia D lol
The psychic said that Wesley is going to be more like Colleen, entertainment wise but I'm not really sure about Maisy
@ Hassan Raashid
I think they said that at first mainly would be kinda a know it all kinda sassy in a way but behind the scenes sort of thing be very loving and grateful for her family
I loved the editing in this vlog! It was extra cool!!
Tortilla Talk Question: has Flynn ever gotten a little jealous of how much attention the twins get? he was so used to getting all of the attention and then BOOM, he has 2 more siblings! he’s really good at expressing his feelings so that’s why i’m asking this. love you colleen! 🥰
thank you so much for coming to calgary colleen! your show was amazing and I’m so glad I got to see it after so many years of watching you!
i just got to say, seeing you live has been my dream. i have been watching you for my entire life pretty much. i am currently 14. you are such a huge inspiration to me and so many other people. your show was hilarious and made my day and i really hope that i can see you perform in calgary again! im so sorry that you miss your children i bet its super hard but you are such an amazing person and i love you so much! Have fun touring the rest of the world!
So happy you got to explore Winnipeg a bit, and there can be some shine on it! The Forks is a gem.
i absolutely LOVE hearing you talk about how much you love canada. it’s refreshing, as a canadian, because we are very overlooked! you’re always welcome in canada 🍁!! i also love that you were in alberta during stampede, you got to see calgary in its truest form 😂 oh also, weather is cold for 70% of the year(for the more southern provinces), summer gets pretty hot now tho because of climate change😬
Love your video as always! you totally got me with the title hahah
Nah it’s not climate change. It’s always really hot in July and August
@@katwalks i was half joking, bc of the stereotype that canada is always cold and we all live in igloos. but there actually is literal evidence of the summers getting hotter and winters getting colder over the years… so the climate is changing 😂 even if it’s not a lot
@@bbeth4 haha very true. It’s called seasons 😂
@@katwalks okayy you’re trolling now right? you do know climate change exists and is making the seasons more extreme.... right?
@@bbeth4 no, I was agreeing with you. Climate is always changing.
I love watching you explore Canada as I’m Canadian!!🇨🇦🇨🇦
Colleen, I know you’re not in LA right now, but I just wanted to say that you and Erik are raising such empathetic, kind, loving and compassionate children. The type of kids you are raising are the type that whoever they decide to be friends with or be in relationships with will feel safe around. Love you Colleen. Keep doing what you’re doing!
Colleen you make performing look so easy! Id be obviously nervous and would never have been able to multitask vlogging and performing. Great job!
Colleen I just want to tell you that I am proud of you! You’re an amazing human!
The reason it can feel warm but only be in 60s and 50 degrees in Canada and northern places is because in the summer the sun is alway directly pointing down on you as if it was noon for the whole day! It’s pretty cool and I love it because I can go to the lake when it is 65 degrees! (I live in Anchorage Alaska!)
I was so excited for the vlog when you reached Calgary because I grew up there ✌
Btw the reason you might have been feeling faint is because Calgary is very high altitude, you went up by about 2500ft from Winnipeg and you're used to living at sea level.
Hey Colleen! I came to your Calgary show. I’m just teenager and I have been watching you since I was 6. I love your work and think you’re absolutely hilarious. Your show was amazing, funny and just so much fun, and i couldn’t have been more pleased to see you in person! I also loved how you tried to become Canadian so you wouldn’t be cancelled- you were great at it!! I love you Colleen 😊
COLLEEN!!! This vlog was so fun, thanks for always taking us on tour 💕
Loving this edit!!! So fresh so clean. Sometimes the music is too loud and you’re a bit quiet but yeah love love love
Whenever you really miss the kids you could also try to remind yourself that it’s good for them to make memories with other people ☺️
8:30 I love this shot so much, you can see how much you love doing your job :)))
Liking the new end slate, Kory and Colleen! Hope the rest of Canada will treat you well, you'll be hugging Flynn, Wesley, and Maisy again before you know it, Colleen! 💕
Ok Colleen time for you to learn about the Calgary Stampede, The stampede is 10 days in July where everyone dusts off their cowboy hat and boots and heads down to the grounds where there are rides galore and strange but tasty foods, the chuckwagon races and rodeo as well as grandstand show with fireworks are some crowd favorites. There are shops and animals to visit and plenty of fun. There is also lots of live music to enjoy! Its a bummer you didn't get to visit but when Flynn and the twins are older you should definitely bring them for a few days for rides and yummy food.
Tortilla talk question: what is your opinion on teen mom's? Do you support? What advice would you give to teen mother's? And how would you handle it if Maisy became one ? Sending love to you and your family!!🥰❤️❤️✌️
Totally Bias and Proud Canadian here.. but I just gotta say I freaking LOVED this vlog! I'm so glad you are enjoying your time in this beautiful country I'm grateful to call home! You're making me crave a cross-country road trip.. now I just wish I could take some time off work. You live such an interesting life... You may think you're being boring, but I just can't get enough of your little adventures. 🥰
Your faces and enthusiasm when you are practicing is life!!! ❤️🤍💙❤️🤍💙
That black sparkly outfit you had one is beautiful! I dig it with the boots too!!
Hey Colleen! Don’t forget to get poutine while you’re in Canada! Also when you said you needed to drink water I drank water too because I never do when I should lol. And when you “complain” there is nothing wrong with “venting”! Sometimes it’s good to let out your frustration so please don’t apologize! We all know you are grateful every day you are a humble and kind person. I love you!! Can’t wait for the next vlog!
So cool to see you loving Canada! Winnipeg is only cold in the winter. In the summer (June to August/September), it is usually hot.
I love you so much Colleen, you are such an inspiration to millions of people. I aspire to be just like you one day because you are literally the kindest most genuine person. You are such a role model to so many of us and i want to thank you for everything you do. We love you xxoxoxo
Me living in Canada and Colleen talking about how good Canada Is makes my heart happy😍
I had never heard Maisy before and now there’s a new movie out with the main characters name Maisie called Sea Beast it’s really good 10/10 recommend
Colleen, I’m glad you enjoyed my hometown of Winnipeg. I wish I could have seen your show but, it was sold out. So fingers crossed that you can come again one day and explore more of Canada. Love you girl.
Tortilla talk question: you may have talked about this already but I watch almost every single one of your vlogs daily so I hope I didn’t miss the answer but I’ve been wondering what Erik does for work? I know he was doing acting but does he still do that or does he primarily stay home with the kids now? Love you! Also I know you like hearing where everyone’s from so I’m from Ohio! :)
I’m also from Ohio!
illinois :)
I think he's still an actor, I guess with acting in general a lot of it is auditions and waiting, but I can imagine that he might be waiting to take another job until the twins are older.
I’m so glad that you like Calgary! From where I was sitting in the theatre when we shined our lights, it was so bright in there!
I also felt a little nauseous being in there, maybe because I was exited to see you… possibly with a side of lasagna. I haven’t been there so the setting wasn’t what I was expecting.
I absolutely loved your show and so did my sister! We both had an amazing time!💗
I love how happy she is here, her energy is so high it’s amazing!!
I'm so glad your hotels are nicer this leg of your tour!! You deserve it!
1:31 someone please make this a meme 😂 love you Colleen ❤️
That's what I thought too!!!!!
The room service you always get from hotels always looks so delicious!! Love the little transitions you added in the video, come through editing skills 😊
Tortilla Talk Question: what is ur funniest airport/hotel experience? Love you and stay strong ❤️
I know it was only a second of the vlog, but I loved watching you pick out your outfit for some reason!!! I know you think you don't have really good style when it comes to clothes but you do, your outfits are always so pretty!
Colleen: talking about how she thought she was going to faint.
Me: She Pregnant!
Also Colleen- but Christen and Cory said they felt like they were gonna faint too.
Also me: THERE ALL PREGRENT 😂😂
They’re
You always make me smile. Your videos are amazing. Love you!
