Hi! Twin advice from a twin! Something I recommend is a lot of individual time for the twins! Start once they are a bit older or even now if you think you could make it work :) My twin and I found it very difficult as we got older going into situations that separated us, so 1 on 1 time with each twin, such as you and Eric feeding 1 baby each in different rooms while they are still bottle feeding or taking 1 baby at a time to the store will make all the difference and they will definitely thank you later! :) it’s something my mum always wishes she did while we were young 💗
I’m also a twin! I always hated parents or relatives referring us as the twins , like saying our older sister name and then saying the twins in stead of out names idk if that’s werid or what
As a twin I wholeheartedly agree. Since me and my sister have always been grouped together I have experienced a lot of anxiety around being separated and doing my own stuff.
@@breannacasey7718 I’m not a twin but me and my sister are 15 months apart and I feel this! We were always referred to as “the girls” and I HATED it. Like all our aunts and cousins and everyone always said “the girls.” I couldn’t imagine being a twin and people thinking were the same!
Colleen's greatest gift this year: having all of her children home for the holiday season. We supporters love you too, Colleen! See you in the next videos!
Flynn is an amazing little boy and the reason, in my opinion, he’s acting so sweet towards the babies is because both you and Erik are giving Flynn the attention he needs. There is no jealousy just love.
I hope it stays that way. I feel for Flynn because it seems like the universe has been giving him the shaft this Dec. And this is one of the first Christmases he has a chance of remembering.
Coming from a twin just come advice: never compare us and make sure to justify that they are their own individual ppl. It’s hard to feel independent when ppl always make u feel only 1/2 a human. My sister and I are twins. On our birthday we only got 1 cake. And my brother who isn’t a a twin also gets 1. So basically me and my twin had to share everything. Less room for independence and i crave to be my own person a lot when I got older
I see the point but also with the cake it would seem wasteful to have 2 seperate ones for the same number of people? Maybe doing their birthday parties on seperate days or something would mitigate that once they are older and have friends?? Their birthdays (Colleen Flynn W&M) are all going to get steamrolled being so close together and then followed by christmas
@@NoThankUBeQuiet I don't see it as wasteful because it's two seperate human beings you can just get two smaller cakes! That's what my parents did with me and my twin! We greatly appreciated it. We always had our birthdays together and invited the friends that we had together and friends that I had outside of our twinhood!
There's no twins in my family but my brother, cousin, aunt (and my brother's now ex girlfriend) all shared the same birthday and we used to have their party on the same day as everyone came to our grandma's house, we made a point for each of them to have their own cake that represented them and to specifically celebrate each of them at a particular time of the day, as it was like a full day, morning to night even for us. Then when the meals were done we'd all get together and do special little things for each of them♥️
Yes 100% this and only a twin truly understands. They will be in the same class with the same teacher and friends for years. Please don’t compare our grades and share friends. I always had my own bday cake and it was VERY memorable. We have different personalities and I wanted sharks and she wanted ballerinas.
tortilla talk question: How did moose and the cats react to the babies when they were both home? Also, I'm so happy I got to watch this journey, I know nothing about being a mother or twins, but I'm so proud of you for how far you've come. and I love flynns relationship with the twins!
Tortilla talk question: What did you give Eric for Christmas that he can pass down to Wesley? I love the necklace you got to pass down to Maisy. I thought that was super sweet and a great idea.
Hey Colleen - Just wanted to say your discussions on your Dermatillomania got me to get diagnosed/get helped. I never knew there was a name for the behavior and it has been so relieving to have a name and understanding, as well as be able to tell my family & friends that them continuously pointing it out has not been helpful and be able to explain more what is happening. Anyway, thanks again, and would love to hear any tips that have helped you. And, of course, congrats on the two cuties coming home.
You're awesome for getting the help that you need and standing up for yourself again your family❤ I wish you all the luck in the world and in your fight against dermatillomania!
Colleen's description of Flynn loving on his sister was so sweet it brought tears to my eyes. I love that he calls the babies cutie bug. Flynn is an angel and I think it's because Erik and Colleen made sure to spend time with him and they never neglected to do that no matter what else was going on. The babes are getting more adorable with every video Colleen gives us and I can't express how much I enjoy watching them! 💜💜💜
I love how your energy from being pregnant to now having the twins has changed so much. P.S your my fav UA-camr. But I have a cousin who gave birth to a premature baby and you have encouraged her. She also said that watching you has made her postpartum depression feel way better and like she’s escaping everything just by watching you . We think that it’s amazing how your twins are growing so fast. ❤️
These vlogs are the only thing keeping me going, I am in an unfortunate situation of living with people that don’t make me feel safe and watching someone who’s so much like me be happy with people who love them gives me so much hope. Thank you for these vlogs and thank you for making me feel safe in this time in my life.
i'm sorry you're in such a hard place right now. there have definitely been a few times in my life where my living situation didn't feel safe and its hard to express the kind of pain that type of isolation can cause. everything hurts more when it comes home with you, truly. i wanna remind you though, that although i have felt so trapped and alone in homes before, i have also found so much belonging and care once i've left those situations. i hope you can cope in the meantime until you're able to be free of that. honestly, things can change so rapidly once you're able to leave find a new sense of home
I’m picturing showing Colleen telling us the stories of Flynn being an angel to the babies during her worst moments of pregnancy/the NICU journey, or when she was scared of growing into a family of 5. I feel like she would have the most beautiful emotional reactions knowing everything was eventually going to be perfect🥺❤️
Can everyone agree that no matter what Colleen posts, it’s always a entertaining video! Though she’s been through a lot ,I love her outlook on life and how she has raised Flynn and will raise Maisy and Wesley:) Happy Holidays everyone !! She’s so creative and kind! Colleen, if you are reading this, WE ALL LOVE AND SUPPORT YOU, QUEEN👑
Tortilla Talk Question: I know Flynn’s been doing well, and it’s so cute to see his relationship with the twins, but how are Wesley and Maisy doing? It’d be nice to see how you handle 2 newborns through feedings and everyday things. We all love seeing you smile again, even through the hard times :)
I really wish I could explain in words how much colleens content helps me through everyday but I dont think I can, my family and I aren't very close at the moment due to differences in opinions but watching your content makes me feel like I have a big sister that is always there for me, thank you colleen
That’s also one of the main reasons I enjoy her videos and her brothers videos. My family is going through some conflict as well. It makes me happy to see her families so close and so grateful she invites us into parts of their family’s lives. Sending you and your family a lot of love!
Tortilla Talk Question: What was the gift that you got for Erik to pass down to Wesley?! Ever since you showed the pearl for little Maisy I’ve been so curious and wanting to know what you got for them! Love you and your family, you guys are rockstars and are doing amazing!❤️
I love to see that your baby’s are doing SO well and that your mental health is doing better, stay strong Colleen I love you ❤️ p.s. tell Flynn I said hi
Flynn being the most amazing big brother is so precious. Take some credit Colleen, that he is such a perfect little boy because you and Eric raised him with the love, care, and thought that was needed to teach him these things!
Tortilla Talk Question: just out of curiosity, does Flynn eat the same meals as you and Erik or does he have his own special meal? love you guys so much💛
Pretty sure they have different dinners. She often mentions how her and Eric cook dinner after Flynn goes to bed, so I’ve always assumed that they had two different dinners
It just feels so right to see y’all be all together ! I love seeing how sweet Flynn is with the babies and how happy you seem having all your babies together ♥️
Tortilla talk: First, what are the babies personalities like right now? They seem very different! Second, how are they doing around other people? They were only surrounded by you and Erik for the first month of their life, so are they okay being held by others? Or do they prefer you and Erik? Love to you, a literal superhero, your handsome hubby, and your 3 adorable kiddos 💗
my cousin had a miscarriage and now she is finally blessed with twins im only 16 but when i see all of the products that you buy for them and love it helps me know what to get her thanks a million 🥳🥰
Flynn cuddling with Maisy is the sweetest thing I've ever heard. He is an incredible big brother. I feel like these 3 kids will be best friends and I'm so excited for it.
TWIN ADVICE… I’m a twin myself, I think it’s amazing to have an instant best friend, wouldn’t change that. But be sure to help them have their own lives, their own interests separate from each other. Foster that unique relationship between them, but help them be their own person. From personal experience, it’s was very difficult and anxiety inducing to learn to be without my twin later in life. So build that independent confidence now. You guys are doing a wonderful job! Much love to you and the littles! 🤟🏽
How can you be blown away by Flynn’s kindness and love towards his brother and sister. You have raised him in a home full of love and kindness. You always treat him so gently and with respect, so he will treat others the same way. Good parenting is the hardest job you will ever have but it is also the most rewarding!
Hey Colleen! I wanted to say thank you for all the vlogs for nearly two years! They have gotten me through the holidays which is a tough time for me, and are now helping me get through my breakup. I feel like I have a friend to spend time with every day. Thank you for everything you do ❤️❤️
Colleen, u a queen gurl like who can vlog, be a wife, spend time with family, take care of a Toddler, take care of two premie babies, give all your kids attention, and spend time to take care of yourself all at the same time. Crying is just proving how strong u are and I admire you every time you show the hard times on camera. I am only 13 but still you being strong and surviving through hard times inspires me. We love you and Jesus loves you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi Colleen i have been watching your channel for 5 years and i am so happy that i came across your channel. You are so inspiring and have helped me through so much. Thank you for everything you do. Also just wanted to say i am so proud of you and the twins. You are such an Strong, Inspiring, Amazing, and Kind Woman. I can’t wait to watch Maisy and Welsey grow up and become amazing humans just like You and Erik.
Flynn already being such a good brother. In the Christmas video when he was saying "Mama protect the babies" fricken melted my heart. I'm sure your exhausted but you look beautiful & very happy. Holy moly your setting tour dates. Super Woman!!!!
Colleen is so kind and all her videos are so heartfelt she makes are days so much better and Flynn is so cute! I remember before he was born! Colleen cheers us up and is so relatable. Love you Colleen❤️
Flynn acts that way because you and Erik have genuinely made him feel secure when I’m your eyes, he knows he does not have to compete for your love and that he can love his siblings like you have loved him!!!
Tortilla talk question: How did you honestly feel about the twins’ due date arriving, and having them here and going through what they have? I had a tough time when my daughter’s due date arrived. I grieved the fact that I didn’t get to carry her to term and let her spend her first days at home in mine and her dad’s care 24/7. It was wonderful to have her home by that time, but I wish she didn’t have to go through the NICU experience.
Flynn is just the most amazing angelic little boy! My sons are six and nine now, and they are still incredibly close like that. My older son was just like Flynn, he loved his brother from the first moment and he has continued to amaze me with his patience and grace when little brother steals the show (he's the wild one - keeps me on my toes!). They still sleep together and snuggle, even though they have their own rooms. It's amazing to see siblings love one another. I'm so happy for your family!
My heart just wants to explode hearing about sweet Flynn with your precious newborns. 🥰🥰. So happy everyone is home and healthy! Have a Happy and Safe New Year! Sending so much love to you and your beautiful family!
Colleen, I just feel the need to THANK YOU for your vlogs. This is my happy place. Every time I get the notification, no matter what has happened in my day, I smile. After 8 years being a follower, I have grown so much as a person in every way thanks to you. As I was watching the vlog today, I could feel that although you were extremely tired and with lots things to do, you took the time to upload a vlog, and I will be forever grateful for that. Love you foreverrrrrr!
Maisey and Wesley are far more advanced than the average newborn! Everytime I see them they are always so observant and when they are awake, they are “AWAKE, “ eyes wide open! I’ve never seen anything likes this before! Although they maybe considered premature, they’ve surpassed all mental and visual stages of a newborn, it’s like they’ve been here for five months already ! This is just unbelievable! Anyway congrats to you and your beautiful family on these major milestones! God Bless!
These vlogs are the thing I look forward to most before bed every night! 💕 Getting to see Colleen, Erik, Kory, the kiddos & cats and any other Ballinger member is literally my favorite part of the day. It feels like they're family at this point, and I feel every emotion alongside of them. Reading the comments is one of my favorite things as well, because there's so many of us united by our love & appreciation for Queen Colleen 💕
I just have to say that there is such a lightness about you in this video. I'm sure it's that babies are home and you guys are settling in to being a great, big, wonderful family of 5! Love you! We all knew you would make it through that tough battle but I was just sending you so much love and positivity to get through it because I know it could not have been easy. You are a powerhouse, girl! And if you can go through that...well, you can do pretty much anything hard, right!? ;)
I love you so queen. You are the sweetest kindest most caring amazing talented human ever. I could never thank you enough for all you have done for me in my life. You are the best mom ever to the sweetest cutest toddler ever with the biggest personality and to Wesley & Maisy. Erik is so loving supportive and encouraging. You are the most beautiful person inside and out. You have benefited my life in so many ways and have had such a positive impact on me. Thank you for making me smile daily and bring joy to my world. I truly don’t know the person I would be without you. I’m so proud of you and all you have accomplished in your life. There are no words to describe how much you mean to me and how amazing you are. Thank you for being the sunshine in mine and so many others life. Thank you for getting me through tough times and making me so happy. Love you to the moon 🌙 and back. 💜💕❤️💙🌻🍪💛🌵🐢🚗
I love how much Flynn loves Maisy he is going to protect her the older he gets . She's so blessed to have Flynn! She's also so blessed to have little Wesley as her Bestfriend forever. I can't wait to see the twins grow up and grow the bond I know their going to be so cute together. I still can't believe how much bigger baby girl is next to Wes lol he is so tiny so precious.
You were blessed with the greatest gift of all and that was your beautiful, precious babies to come home before Christmas 🥰🥰 you are absolutely amazing and deserve the best. You don’t understand how much watching all your videos helps me with my metal health, life can get so hard and having something to take your mind off of it even for a few minutes is life saving and your videos are those few minutes for me. Thank you for all you do for us! Love you and your amazing family so much. 🥰💙💜💚🥰
Colleen thank you for your videos!! I recently got my mom onto you and she LOVES watching them! It gives us such a great opportunity to have some bonding moments while enjoying and laughing at your videos!
i've been watching colleen since i was in eighth grade, im a freshman in college now and genuinely love watching her grow and being able to support her. she's the best :) love u colleen!
Tortilla Talk Question!! - When you had talked about the gift you had gotten yourself, the pearl necklace to pass down to Maisy, you had also mentioned a gift you were getting for Erik for Christmas to pass down to Wes one day !! Id love to know what it was!! xoxo
It makes me so happy To see you mentally stress free from all of the uncontrollable events that unfolded in front of you and Your hubster being over at the hospital -and seeing you able to have all your little Cubs at home together- Eases my heart so much! Of course having two new babies will be stressful but not in any comparable way lol 💕🥰
Hey Colleen ! I wanted to thank you, your blogs are the highlight of my days, I am loving seeing your family, coming from a family of 4 kids, I can only say it will get better, Flynn is the absolute best brother, love your family, xoxo from Paris !
okay i feel like no one will see this and def not colleen but the scene of yall just making the bottles and holding them together made me so happy. i've been watching your videos every day since the beginning of the pandemic and I watched you before, and they have made me so happy and connected to the world lol. you're great colleen
They’re so sweet and cute!!! Love seeing them grow and get bigger. Here’s hoping you’re able to get into a routine and sleep. That’s so awesome that you are keeping their routines together. So smart! 😍
Flynn is an awesome big brother to both Wesley and Maisy!! Enjoy the rest of the holidays and wishing all of you a happy safe and prosperous New Year!!
For some reason it’s killing me that you’re a premie mom but you still make your own croutons!! Just is so cute to me, shows you and Erik have a great way of supporting each other during this phase, but more importantly that croutons are only good homemade lol!
I love how at the end of every video Colleen will say something to the effect of not sure when you will see me again.. and yet always manages to get a blog out lol.. I think at the end of a long day it’s comforting to not go to bed with the obligation of filming the next day but she always manages to find the time.
2022 is less then a day away and my predictive text is still changing vlog to blog.. 🤦♀️ I have never purposely typed blog in my life.. prediction denied 🙅♀️
I have NEVER seen someone scratch lottery tickets with anything other than a coin. So to see Colleen do it with a wrench is actually hilarious to me 😂😂.
Tortilla talk question: Colleen! On March 1st, 2022 you will have done two years of straight vlogging almost every singly day. Do you plan on doing anything to celebrate? We all know how you have worked so hard these past two years during Covid, being pregnant with/giving birth to/taking care of twins whilst giving a toddler all the attention possible. You really really really deserve to treat yourself. Love you so so much bestie 😊 💕
Tortilla talk question: have Daisy, Gus, or Moose reacted differently to the new twins? Love watching all your vlogs, makes my day! You’re doing amazing ❤❤
The best Christmas gift is your boy Flynn and those beautiful twinsies. Bless you all. Flynn is the best brother the twins could ever wish for. Their best gift is having awsome loving parents and family. Happy New Year.
colleen, your vlogs mean so much to me! i am so thankful to have a “friend” that talks to me everyday! i dont even talk with my friends in rl this much! thank you! much love to you, erik, flynn, wesley, maisy + kory! 💗
if you get a few numbers close to your numbers..you know its a loss before even scratching. Flynn is literally the cutest. That moment will be with you forever. The babies are growing fast now! Wes is getting more personality like his sis. He couldnt let her have it all! lol So happy for you.
Colleen you are amazing you are an a amazing mother, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, etc. You have three children one toddler and two newborns and you still find time to vlog you are such an amazing person we need more people like you in the world

Eric looks soooo exhausted but so sweet feeding one baby while you feed the other.🥰
Exhaustion is the sign of an awesome dad helping to feed one of the twins. Good job Erick
I love how Flynn is such a loving big brother. Twins are lucky to have Flynn. Their bond is gonna be so adorable

Flynn, Maisy and Wesley are going to grow up and look through all these video memories and realise how lucky they are to be a part of your family.
I’m picturing showing Colleen telling us the stories of Flynn being an angel to the babies during her worst moments of pregnancy/the NICU journey, or when she was scared of growing into a family of 5. I feel like she would have the most beautiful emotional reactions knowing everything was eventually going to be perfect🥺❤️

I hope she answers this one.
Im dying to know!
I love to see that your baby’s are doing SO well and that your mental health is doing better, stay strong Colleen I love you ❤️
p.s. tell Flynn I said hi
Flynn being the most amazing big brother is so precious. Take some credit Colleen, that he is such a perfect little boy because you and Eric raised him with the love, care, and thought that was needed to teach him these things!
Tortilla Talk Question:
just out of curiosity, does Flynn eat the same meals as you and Erik or does he have his own special meal? love you guys so much💛
Ive often wondered that too
it probs depend on what they’re eating
Pretty sure they have different dinners. She often mentions how her and Eric cook dinner after Flynn goes to bed, so I’ve always assumed that they had two different dinners
I’m dying at how exhausted Erik looked trying to rock in the chair … meanwhile Colleen Iooks like a Queen ready for her closeup!💜
It just feels so right to see y’all be all together ! I love seeing how sweet Flynn is with the babies and how happy you seem having all your babies together ♥️
Unrelated, but we have the same name!
Flynn is going to be the big brother everyone wishes they had. He’s just the sweetest boy ever!
Tortilla talk: First, what are the babies personalities like right now? They seem very different! Second, how are they doing around other people? They were only surrounded by you and Erik for the first month of their life, so are they okay being held by others? Or do they prefer you and Erik? Love to you, a literal superhero, your handsome hubby, and your 3 adorable kiddos 💗
They were also surrounded by the nicu nurses though ☺️
So happy that you are going on tour again!
Right cause that's the smart thing to do with two newborns omg she's so quirky 🙄😝
@@pysduckfanforever well obviously they won’t be newborns next year.
@@pysduckfanforever i find this fucked up bc she is already going thru alot
@@pysduckfanforever they won’t be newborns when she is on tour
some of y’all really expect mothers to have no lives of their own and go nowhere or else they’re bad people ….
my cousin had a miscarriage and now she is finally blessed with twins im only 16 but when i see all of the products that you buy for them and love it helps me know what to get her thanks a million 🥳🥰
Flynn cuddling with Maisy is the sweetest thing I've ever heard. He is an incredible big brother. I feel like these 3 kids will be best friends and I'm so excited for it.
“What I got for Christmas…” your babies home at least 💜 that seriously made me so happy knowing you at least got that this year!
i love that we got to see her being all mama bear and taking care of them. it was a really sweet moment that we got to peek in on
Okay, I’m tearing up hearing about Flynn with his Baby Sister! Such an amazing loving soul. ♥️
TWIN ADVICE… I’m a twin myself, I think it’s amazing to have an instant best friend, wouldn’t change that. But be sure to help them have their own lives, their own interests separate from each other. Foster that unique relationship between them, but help them be their own person. From personal experience, it’s was very difficult and anxiety inducing to learn to be without my twin later in life. So build that independent confidence now.
You guys are doing a wonderful job! Much love to you and the littles! 🤟🏽
Also, Flynn is a GREAT big brother. He is so sweet and gives me so much hope for humanity.
I don't know how I would have gotten through this year without Colleen and her beautiful family❤Happy early New Year🥳
Love your family all together and I love how Flynn acts around the twins🙂 Love you Colleen!
How can you be blown away by Flynn’s kindness and love towards his brother and sister. You have raised him in a home full of love and kindness. You always treat him so gently and with respect, so he will treat others the same way. Good parenting is the hardest job you will ever have but it is also the most rewarding!
Hey Colleen! I wanted to say thank you for all the vlogs for nearly two years! They have gotten me through the holidays which is a tough time for me, and are now helping me get through my breakup. I feel like I have a friend to spend time with every day. Thank you for everything you do ❤️❤️
Colleen, u a queen gurl like who can vlog, be a wife, spend time with family, take care of a Toddler, take care of two premie babies, give all your kids attention, and spend time to take care of yourself all at the same time. Crying is just proving how strong u are and I admire you every time you show the hard times on camera. I am only 13 but still you being strong and surviving through hard times inspires me. We love you and Jesus loves you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi Colleen i have been watching your channel for 5 years and i am so happy that i came across your channel. You are so inspiring and have helped me through so much. Thank you for everything you do. Also just wanted to say i am so proud of you and the twins. You are such an Strong, Inspiring, Amazing, and Kind Woman. I can’t wait to watch Maisy and Welsey grow up and become amazing humans just like You and Erik.
Flynn already being such a good brother. In the Christmas video when he was saying "Mama protect the babies" fricken melted my heart. I'm sure your exhausted but you look beautiful & very happy. Holy moly your setting tour dates. Super Woman!!!!
Colleen is so kind and all her videos are so heartfelt she makes are days so much better and Flynn is so cute! I remember before he was born! Colleen cheers us up and is so relatable. Love you Colleen❤️
I think we can all say colleen is quite literally the best most amazing mother in so many ways
Yes
I'm so happy that your family is all together!!! Love you Colleen 💕
Flynn acts that way because you and Erik have genuinely made him feel secure when I’m your eyes, he knows he does not have to compete for your love and that he can love his siblings like you have loved him!!!
You’re so adorable Colleen❤️I love seeing you feel happier, etc. So proud of you😌your positivity is radiating
I've got disabilities and was physically assaulted recently, your videos are so comforting and are really helping my anxiety, so thank you 💙
Tortilla talk question: How did you honestly feel about the twins’ due date arriving, and having them here and going through what they have?
I had a tough time when my daughter’s due date arrived. I grieved the fact that I didn’t get to carry her to term and let her spend her first days at home in mine and her dad’s care 24/7. It was wonderful to have her home by that time, but I wish she didn’t have to go through the NICU experience.
Flynn is just the most amazing angelic little boy! My sons are six and nine now, and they are still incredibly close like that. My older son was just like Flynn, he loved his brother from the first moment and he has continued to amaze me with his patience and grace when little brother steals the show (he's the wild one - keeps me on my toes!). They still sleep together and snuggle, even though they have their own rooms. It's amazing to see siblings love one another. I'm so happy for your family!
I love you and am so proud of you ❤ Sending your whole family so many good thoughts!
My heart just wants to explode hearing about sweet Flynn with your precious newborns. 🥰🥰. So happy everyone is home and healthy! Have a Happy and Safe New Year! Sending so much love to you and your beautiful family!
your world has lit up since your baby’s have been home. i’m so happy for you
Colleen, I just feel the need to THANK YOU for your vlogs. This is my happy place. Every time I get the notification, no matter what has happened in my day, I smile. After 8 years being a follower, I have grown so much as a person in every way thanks to you. As I was watching the vlog today, I could feel that although you were extremely tired and with lots things to do, you took the time to upload a vlog, and I will be forever grateful for that. Love you foreverrrrrr!
WHEN COLLEEN POST, IT MAKES MY DAY SO MUCH BETTER!
Mine too
Maisey and Wesley are far more advanced than the average newborn! Everytime I see them they are always so observant and when they are awake, they are “AWAKE, “ eyes wide open! I’ve never seen anything likes this before! Although they maybe considered premature, they’ve surpassed all mental and visual stages of a newborn, it’s like they’ve been here for five months already ! This is just unbelievable! Anyway congrats to you and your beautiful family on these major milestones! God Bless!
tortilla talk question: would you ever consider a wearable pump? the willow maybe? it might help you being on the go with Flynn so much :)
These vlogs are the thing I look forward to most before bed every night! 💕 Getting to see Colleen, Erik, Kory, the kiddos & cats and any other Ballinger member is literally my favorite part of the day. It feels like they're family at this point, and I feel every emotion alongside of them. Reading the comments is one of my favorite things as well, because there's so many of us united by our love & appreciation for Queen Colleen 💕
I just have to say your babies are so darn cute.💕💕 love you and your family Colleen.
Aww the way Flynn loves his siblings warms my heart
I just have to say that there is such a lightness about you in this video. I'm sure it's that babies are home and you guys are settling in to being a great, big, wonderful family of 5! Love you! We all knew you would make it through that tough battle but I was just sending you so much love and positivity to get through it because I know it could not have been easy. You are a powerhouse, girl! And if you can go through that...well, you can do pretty much anything hard, right!? ;)
You narrating each step of the scratch ticket was the purest sweetest thing and exactly what I need. You’re so cute sometimes Colleen. ❤️
I love you so queen. You are the sweetest kindest most caring amazing talented human ever. I could never thank you enough for all you have done for me in my life. You are the best mom ever to the sweetest cutest toddler ever with the biggest personality and to Wesley & Maisy. Erik is so loving supportive and encouraging. You are the most beautiful person inside and out. You have benefited my life in so many ways and have had such a positive impact on me. Thank you for making me smile daily and bring joy to my world. I truly don’t know the person I would be without you. I’m so proud of you and all you have accomplished in your life. There are no words to describe how much you mean to me and how amazing you are. Thank you for being the sunshine in mine and so many others life. Thank you for getting me through tough times and making me so happy. Love you to the moon 🌙 and back. 💜💕❤️💙🌻🍪💛🌵🐢🚗
I love how much Flynn loves Maisy he is going to protect her the older he gets . She's so blessed to have Flynn! She's also so blessed to have little Wesley as her Bestfriend forever. I can't wait to see the twins grow up and grow the bond I know their going to be so cute together. I still can't believe how much bigger baby girl is next to Wes lol he is so tiny so precious.
We love you Colleen!!! Thanks for letting us be a part of your day.......😀😁😊
You were blessed with the greatest gift of all and that was your beautiful, precious babies to come home before Christmas 🥰🥰 you are absolutely amazing and deserve the best. You don’t understand how much watching all your videos helps me with my metal health, life can get so hard and having something to take your mind off of it even for a few minutes is life saving and your videos are those few minutes for me. Thank you for all you do for us! Love you and your amazing family so much. 🥰💙💜💚🥰
Colleen thank you for your videos!! I recently got my mom onto you and she LOVES watching them! It gives us such a great opportunity to have some bonding moments while enjoying and laughing at your videos!
i've been watching colleen since i was in eighth grade, im a freshman in college now and genuinely love watching her grow and being able to support her. she's the best :) love u colleen!
Tortilla Talk Question!!
- When you had talked about the gift you had gotten yourself, the pearl necklace to pass down to Maisy, you had also mentioned a gift you were getting for Erik for Christmas to pass down to Wes one day !! Id love to know what it was!! xoxo
3:52 How do I express? Precious moment. Such lovely parents you two are.
The twins just keep getting cuter and cuter everyday! 🥰♥️
It makes me so happy To see you mentally stress free from all of the uncontrollable events that unfolded in front of you and Your hubster being over at the hospital -and seeing you able to have all your little Cubs at home together-
Eases my heart so much! Of course having two new babies will be stressful but not in any comparable way lol 💕🥰
Hey Colleen ! I wanted to thank you, your blogs are the highlight of my days, I am loving seeing your family, coming from a family of 4 kids, I can only say it will get better, Flynn is the absolute best brother, love your family, xoxo from Paris !
okay i feel like no one will see this and def not colleen but the scene of yall just making the bottles and holding them together made me so happy. i've been watching your videos every day since the beginning of the pandemic and I watched you before, and they have made me so happy and connected to the world lol. you're great colleen
Omg the twins are getting bigger and looking so healthy! 😊
Colleen you are the best for Vloging every time you could with the busy ness of mother hood with Flynn , the two precious babies ❤❤
They’re so sweet and cute!!! Love seeing them grow and get bigger. Here’s hoping you’re able to get into a routine and sleep. That’s so awesome that you are keeping their routines together. So smart! 😍
Flynn putting his blanket on Maisy is so sweet. He really is such an amazing big brother to her and Wesley.
I look forward to these videos every night ♥️♥️
Flynn is an awesome big brother to both Wesley and Maisy!! Enjoy the rest of the holidays and wishing all of you a happy safe and prosperous New Year!!
For some reason it’s killing me that you’re a premie mom but you still make your own croutons!! Just is so cute to me, shows you and Erik have a great way of supporting each other during this phase, but more importantly that croutons are only good homemade lol!
Still over the moon your entire little family is home 💖💖💖
I love how at the end of every video Colleen will say something to the effect of not sure when you will see me again.. and yet always manages to get a blog out lol.. I think at the end of a long day it’s comforting to not go to bed with the obligation of filming the next day but she always manages to find the time.
2022 is less then a day away and my predictive text is still changing vlog to blog.. 🤦♀️ I have never purposely typed blog in my life.. prediction denied 🙅♀️
Flynn is such a beautiful soul...thank you for sharing that moment with us!
I have NEVER seen someone scratch lottery tickets with anything other than a coin. So to see Colleen do it with a wrench is actually hilarious to me 😂😂.
You explaining Flynn falling asleep with baby Mazie just had my heart actually melting he is such a good big brother ❤️❤️❤️
Tortilla talk question: Colleen! On March 1st, 2022 you will have done two years of straight vlogging almost every singly day. Do you plan on doing anything to celebrate? We all know how you have worked so hard these past two years during Covid, being pregnant with/giving birth to/taking care of twins whilst giving a toddler all the attention possible. You really really really deserve to treat yourself. Love you so so much bestie 😊 💕
I have an obsession with babies and little kids. Maisy,Weasley,and Flynn I love you all. Flynn is such a great brother.
Tortilla talk question: have Daisy, Gus, or Moose reacted differently to the new twins?
Love watching all your vlogs, makes my day! You’re doing amazing ❤❤
You are honestly such an amazing mom and you are raising the kindest children ever.
Tortilla talk question Are you or did you get newborn pics done yet ? All the kids are just adorable 😍 ❤
The best Christmas gift is your boy Flynn and those beautiful twinsies. Bless you all. Flynn is the best brother the twins could ever wish for. Their best gift is having awsome loving parents and family. Happy New Year.
You’re so freaking incredible! 💜 you’ve helped me through so much even if you don’t know it.
colleen, your vlogs mean so much to me!
i am so thankful to have a “friend” that talks to me everyday! i dont even talk with my friends in rl this much! thank you!
much love to you, erik, flynn, wesley, maisy + kory! 💗
Seeing your little ones gets me very excited to meet mine soon. My due date is March 13 and I'm having a boy. I can't wait 🥰
My due date is March 5th and I’m having my first, also a boy ☺️ congrats to you!
if you get a few numbers close to your numbers..you know its a loss before even scratching. Flynn is literally the cutest. That moment will be with you forever. The babies are growing fast now! Wes is getting more personality like his sis. He couldnt let her have it all! lol So happy for you.
Calling them little muffins is so fitting. They're like sweet, little, smooshy, muffins 😍🥰
Colleen you are amazing you are an a amazing mother, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, etc. You have three children one toddler and two newborns and you still find time to vlog you are such an amazing person we need more people like you in the world
Sending lots of love ❤️
So happy you have your babies home 🏠 ❤️
❤️💙
Does anyone else think that it is so cool that Kory, Colleen, and the twins are all Scorpios!! Ps. Love you!
Tortilla talk question: does flynn take more of his personality from you or Eric? And who do you think the twins will act like? ❤
i'm only a teenage right now but in the future i want to be a mom and i just love watching all of your vlogs and seeing you be such an amazing one
