Kory: the slap sound effect when Maisy’s little hand hit Colleen’s face did got go unnoticed and I had to rewind several times and watch again because I was laughing so hard! 😂
Colleen! What I think may help with the present-hiding (as a fellow adhd gal) is keep a list on your notes app of what is where, maybe divide it up by person or location or whatever makes sense to you. Or! You could take pictures of where you put them and make an album on your phone. I think those things would help me!
Tortilla talk: Hi Colleen! I have a friend who just had her baby two months early and she’s in the NICU. It breaks my heart seeing how difficult it is for her. We live on a mountain, and the hospital is about an hour away. Is there anything you can suggest that I do for her to help her through this hard time? Unfortunately her baby girl will be in the NICU for Christmas, and I’d love to do something nice for her.
Not a question but a statement. Colleen, watching you and your sweet family is like sitting next to a warm fire on Christmas Eve. Just so cozy, cuddly, and relaxed! This world that you have created on UA-cam is so amazing, and I am proud to be a small part of it. In short, I just wanted to let you know how happy and inspired you make me. ❤ from AZ.
Yes!!! I had a really rough day today but I knew I had a new colleen vlog to watch. I have comfort shows and movies I watch and Colleen is one of my comfort UA-camrs
Tortilla talk: how do you continue gentle parenting when you’re tired, frustrated or having a bad day? I hope to be a mom like you one day and even babysitting when I’m tired or having a bad day and being a “gentle parent” seems so exhausting! Love you
colleen, your vlogs feel like home. thank you for being our extended family and endless source of happiness. we love and appreciate you more than you know. when you talk about your struggles with your mental health, it helps me cope with mine. Love you Colleen
Hey Colleen. Im a mama with NICU twins. We were in care for 9 weeks! They turned 1 yesterday! I feel the same! I love talking to mums who have been there too! xx
I love the idea that Flynn wants to reward himself for having the best sister. Kids are so funny. 😂 Also, I pretty regularly got Christmas presents way after Christmas because my mom would forget where she hid things. Lol
How is that a good thing? That would have been the perfect teaching moment for Colleen to let Flynn know not everything is his, it’s okay to gift to others and NOT have it be yours in someway. They’re going to be screwed with him as he gets older because they don’t set any boundaries and just give him whatever whenever. It’s disgusting.
I love that you love a birth story!! My mom, who was a labor and delivery nurse for many years and later a nursing professor, also loved a birth story! She passed away earlier this year VERY unexpectedly. She was with me with both my kiddos and would tell my birth story of my first (who is a few days older than Flynn) with her classes. She tells them about it because she coached me in a natural unmediated birth and I basically used every tool the hospital offered to get through birth- things no one knows to ask for. Anyway, I love you. Watching your videos and your sweet children grow and laugh, my GAWD their laughter, brings me such joy in the absolute worst year of my life. Thank you ❤
Oh my goodness, also- my second daughter does the same thing with me that Maisy did with Eric. She SO protective of me and wants no one to be cuddling me, whether it’s my husband or her big sister, she feels the need to shove them off me.
Colleen you make everything so relatable. Maisy slapping you with the sound effects is hysterical. I can watch the babies interact forever. So adorable. Flynn is the best. Always thinking of his brother and sister. Love to all and Merry Christmas! 💖🥰🎄🎅🏼👍
You are honestly like family to me, I’ve watched all your videos for years and years! I love how genuine you are and I wish I could meet you. Please come to Perth Western Australia!! You have opened my eyes about so many things based on your experiences and I can relate to some and cry with you. I love you and your family sooo much ❤️🥰 I wish you all the happiness in the world, you have helped my more than I can put into words 🥹
TORTILLA TALK QUESTION! I would love to hear Guncle Kory’s take on getting to watch his best friends kiddos grow up, and what it’s like being a part of everything with you. What are some of his favorite things about Flynn and the babies? The clip of he and Flynn playing freeze may be the cutest thing I’ve ever seen.
Yes, less sleep 🛌 over stimulates the babies so they are going to be grumpy and jumpy!! So sometimes is difficult cause there’s kids that need more sleep than others 🎉🎉🎉 send great vibes and lots of hugs 🤗
When you come to Cincinnati for your show, you should definitely check out the Cincinnati nature center’s playscape with Flynn. It’s a total outdoor play space with all natural materials. I think Flynn would absolutely love it. He could build dams in the stream, catch bugs, play in the mud, etc.
Awe that reminds me of when I was a baby I would cry when my mom was in the chiropractor because I thought they were hurting her ❤It just shows how empathetic Maisy is
hi collen ! I started watching your vlogs when you were pregnant with the twins and I was pregnant with my daughter. I'm a teen momma and it helped so much watching you be so real about how much pregnancy can suck and how real ppd and ppa can be. you've helped me grow as a mom more then you know. I'm a single mom now and watching you and Erik has showed me that I deserve better and that my right person will find me someday. I love watching your videos every day because of how real you are when it comes to struggles of motherhood. this probably didn't make any sense cause my daughter keeps trying to grab my phone 😂 but sending love from Texas!!
You can always just buy Maisy the “boy” version of the clothes so she can actually move around instead of always getting her the dresses. I had thought that before when they were younger and Wesley was always in pants and she was always in dresses with her legs not covered up, the dresses are super cute I was just worried about her getting cold 💙
Yeah, clothes that restrict her mobility are just silly to have. Like i get it when it's for a special occasion but for everyday life comfort and play friendly should be prioritized over cuteness.
Hey Colleen! I wanted to say that I have been watching you for a few months more than a year now and these vlogs have become part of every afternoon. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us. (Also don’t worry anytime about the camera settings and stuff. It always looks amazing)
Consider transitioning to 1 nap since they are 1 already and they showed you they can actually handle a longer wake window. Maybe extend their first wake window and see if they'll nap 2-3 hours for 1 nap
For Christmas presents I have an antique armoire that has four big shelves. It locks with a skeleton key so the kids can’t get in it. I have three kids and they each have their own shelf. Then the top shelf is taller. I keep their stockings, Easter baskets, valentine baskets, and Halloween buckets in there. It makes it so easy to toss things in as I buy them. I do sometimes have to put a big box or two of stuff for my niece and nephew or our parents in my closet but I don’t care if my kids were to so that. I put their birthday gifts there at those times. I love it and I no longer forget where I put things.
I just have to tell you how much you help me. Sometimes it feels like there is no good people in the world but when I found your channel you changed my point of view. You mean so much to all of us. Thank you love you and your family💜💜
Dear Colleen, if you happen to read this, I want to ask you to raise your voice for the iranian women. My heart breaks to read the news everyday and the awful things that happen there need to stop. Please help to raise awareness for all these humans, that fight for thier lives right now and help to create pressure on the iranian government. Please like this, because women are incredible!
Colleen I love the picnic you come up with such cool things to do with your family, again love all those very cute faces and smiles I do not know how you keep up with all you do, love you all so very much!
Colleen you are such a doll, love you so much! I am 6th out of 7 kids and one of my favorite Christmas day memories EVERY year is my Mom, all day, periodically gasping and running off to retrieve a present she had forgotten about for one of us. Can you imagine pulling off Christmas for 7 kids? She had to hide Sooo much stuff! "Merry Christmas or whatever you believe in!"
My mom did the exact same thing!! Sometimes we would still be getting Christmas presents every month after Christmas. I had birthday presents wrapped in Christmas paper one year. I looked at my mom, yeah, she found it while looking for my birthday presents that she hid for June! She only had 2 kids. It was so much fun to tease her.
Tortilla talk: Hey Colleen! I’m a new singer and was chosen to sing for my church band. Do you have any tips for stage fright? Did you ever get nervous before live shows? If so what did you go to push past it?
Colleen, are you ever just randomly like 10 years ago I wouldn’t even imagine being in a park playing with my three kids and husband!?!? Like omg the growth and the happiness like girl ur glowing ily
I'm not sure if Colleen will ever see this but I wanted to share anyways I've always felt a bit out of place watchin Colleen's vlogs bc I don't have kids or plan on having them anytime soon, but I just realized I watch bc it's so nice and refreshing to see a diferent family dinamic, my family is complicated and honestly I have a lot of childhood trauma. It's nice to see how a loving family works since all I knew before was so toxic.
TTQ- do you ever worry about how your kids might feel someday about having their childhood being so publicised? I promise this is not an attack, I have nothing but respect for you and your family but I was just curious because I know that you guys are in a very unique situation
Tortilla talk: Hi Colleen! I’ve had some health problems recently some of which involves heart palpitations and shortness of breath but my doctors have done a bunch of tests and the consensus from both doctors is basically me just being in a constant state of anxiety that my medication was no longer helping with. Do you have any tips or tricks that may help you get through really high stress/anxious days? I’ve tried different medicines, meditation, and so many more ways to try to help but it seems like nothing helps. P.s. I love you so much I have been watching you for years, you are one of the only UA-camrs I still consistently watch. Watching your videos is my relaxing time when I come home from a long day at work. Keep being amazing💕
Colleen, please teach you kids that Santa brings ONE TOY and the rest of the presents are from you and Erik. I work at a daycare and it breaks my heart when kids tell their peers what they got from Santa (Ipads, maaany toys, pets, clothes, etc) because some of the other kids come from less fortunate families. There are always kids who question why someone got so much stuff and they got just one thing. They are left with the impression that Santa likes the other kids more...
Hi Colleen! Every time I see the twins I’m just surprised like omg I can’t believe Colleen had twins. It made me realize how much I see you as a friend rather than a celebrity or Internet personality. Like it’s not exciting when random people on the internet have twins but I see you as like the average everyday friend or family member so exciting things for you are so exciting for me. Anyways I just wanted say i love you thank you for being my comfort person for so long. You got me through my awkward middle school Miranda phase and I’m 19 now and you’re comforting me through this weird adulthood transition phase. You are so easy to relate to and so inspiring have the best Christmas with your hubby and babies.🫶🫶🫶
The ducky is so cute! My kids got a dinosaur one last year, and it has been one of their all time favorites! They still all play with the mama and baby dinos (and my kids are ages 3-8). It’s a toy that will get played with over time! I hope you all have an amazing Christmas! ❤️❤️❤️
Colleen you need a Christmas gift list for everyone! I make a list of everyone I get gifts for and I write down what each person is getting and as I buy them I check things off. That way I have a little running inventory and I never have to worry about forgetting anyone. You can even toss it in a note on your phone for easy access.
Coleen you should have a Gift Journal or a note on your phone where you write down where you’re putting the gifts! Like in my phone I do this Mom: -iPad (On my closet shelf) -Pajamas (In bag hung on coat hook in living room) Sister: -Record Player (In garage) -Skateboard (Under guest room dresser) Etc!
@@kandy1643 right, was just curious if she was planning on explaining how millions have seen them grow up or just let them figure it out naturally. Also would she want them in to be creators as well
It's interesting that maisy is so bonded to you since most daughters typically are possessive of their dad. For christmas presents my parents used to just hide our gifts wrapped at our grandma's house so that if we went looking for them we wouldn't find them at home
I just wanted to give a quick little advice, you can write on your phone where you hid the presents! I don't know if it'll work for you but it helps me a lot to remember things! Love you Colleennn☺️
Something that really helped me process my birth trauma was watching the videos of you talking about yours. In a sense, it validated the things I experienced and the intense emotions I had about it that no one else close to me seemed to truly understand. I felt an intense need to share the trauma I experienced after it was all over and I felt like I was a skipping record with my friends and family, just repeating a story they all had heard a thousand times in different words but they never seemed to really HEAR it. “Oh that sounds so hard im sorry” “im so glad you were so strong” BUT I WASNT STRONG and it broke me and still hurts me. Hearing you GET IT validated me when no one else seemed to be able to GET IT. love you always, Colleen
Hey Colleen! Watching you at the dresser with Maisy made me think about securing furniture to the walls so that kids can’t pull it down on to themselves. I know it takes time to do, but because you have less built in furniture, it’s an important thing to do for everyone’s safety!
I used to always do the same thing with Christmas presents. I would find some months after Christmas that I forgot about🤣🤣 The last couple years, I started making a list in my notes app on my phone. I list what the gift is and where it is hidden. My new system has worked really well❤️
Who else had to rewatch 50x the "OMG SHE IS SO GOSH DARN STINKIN CUTE WITH HER SILLY SASSY SELF MISS MAISY" in All her glory!!!: INSTANT DOSE OF HAPPINESS AND SMILES. WITH THE WORLDS MOST BEAUTIFULLY CONTAGIOUS BABY SMILES!!!!
Ttq: What’s Corys story? How did you guys become so close that he’s basically a part of the family? I’m so curious about that whole dynamic but specifically where it all started. I’d love to hear more about it ❤️
@@Emma-hd6zx yeah no, he isn't...that's just what Colleen likes to say and people apparently pick on that despite the twins actually looking the same size
HI GUYS MY MOM AND I LOVE YOU GUYS AND IVE BEEN BATTLING EPILEPSY FOR 6 YEARS I KNOW ITS NOT CANCER BUT THIS STARTED WHEN I WAS 10 I LOVE AND WATCH YALL EVERYDAY BUT TODAY LEAVING THE HOSPITAL I ADKED MY MOM IF WE COULD LOOK AT THE WALL BECAUSE IT WAD CHILDREN HOSPITAL OF LA AND WE FOUND YOUR NAME AND IT INSTANTLY MADE MY DAY BETTER
Colleen on your previous vlog did you notice that Wesley said "maisie" during their little chat? if you go to 5:08 it honestly sounded like he did. its the cutest thing ever.
Colleen - You should listen to the podcast called Australian Birth Stories. There is years worth of stories, multiple each week all categorised. You'd love it 🙂
I can’t believe how fast the twins grew up! This time last year they were the tiniest little things fresh out of the NICU! It has been so fun watching their little personalities develop so much in the past year and watching your family grow in more ways than one! Thank you Colleen for continuing to share your life, family and most importantly yourself with all of us! You have no idea how good your vlogs make so many people feel! I know the holidays can be a hard time for some people, for my family it’s always hard with my dad not being around anymore but your videos give me this sense of comfort and just a good feeling knowing I can always rely on this channel to provide that feeling of a warm conversation that can brighten up the darkest of days even if just a little. So thank you! ❤
Tortilla Talk Question: Have you thought of doing gotcha home day parties for the twins? Like a party to celebrate the days they came home from the Nicu? ( you could always do Wesley's the day before or after, or maybe when everyone got to meet him instead of Flynn's bday)
When Maisy was waving to the camera and saying “hiii” made my heart burst!!😭😊😊
i know hearts don’t smile but it felt like itttt
also, i didn’t know she talks actual words now. like does Maisy usually do that?
@@qelllie she says some words, like duck, and mama, and I think a few others but not fully
It made me smile so big.
@@miawilson8783 oh ok thanks!
Kory: the slap sound effect when Maisy’s little hand hit Colleen’s face did got go unnoticed and I had to rewind several times and watch again because I was laughing so hard! 😂
And the That’s so Raven eye 😂😂😂
Yes! Yes! Yes! Me, too! Kory the king of editing strikes again! Thank you, Kory!

There are girl versions of just T-shirts or trousers it doesn’t have to be boy clothes
Agreed.
Even gathering up the fronts into a high-low sort of effect could help. She can sew, so she could do it.

P.s. I love you so much I have been watching you for years, you are one of the only UA-camrs I still consistently watch. Watching your videos is my relaxing time when I come home from a long day at work. Keep being amazing💕
Colleen, please teach you kids that Santa brings ONE TOY and the rest of the presents are from you and Erik. I work at a daycare and it breaks my heart when kids tell their peers what they got from Santa (Ipads, maaany toys, pets, clothes, etc) because some of the other kids come from less fortunate families. There are always kids who question why someone got so much stuff and they got just one thing. They are left with the impression that Santa likes the other kids more...
Are you guys going to be doing any renovations to the house?? Would love to see reno videos
Hi Colleen! Every time I see the twins I’m just surprised like omg I can’t believe Colleen had twins. It made me realize how much I see you as a friend rather than a celebrity or Internet personality. Like it’s not exciting when random people on the internet have twins but I see you as like the average everyday friend or family member so exciting things for you are so exciting for me. Anyways I just wanted say i love you thank you for being my comfort person for so long. You got me through my awkward middle school Miranda phase and I’m 19 now and you’re comforting me through this weird adulthood transition phase. You are so easy to relate to and so inspiring have the best Christmas with your hubby and babies.🫶🫶🫶
I haven’t watched in like 6 months jeez the kids have grown lol
The ducky is so cute! My kids got a dinosaur one last year, and it has been one of their all time favorites! They still all play with the mama and baby dinos (and my kids are ages 3-8). It’s a toy that will get played with over time!
I hope you all have an amazing Christmas! ❤️❤️❤️
Colleen you need a Christmas gift list for everyone! I make a list of everyone I get gifts for and I write down what each person is getting and as I buy them I check things off. That way I have a little running inventory and I never have to worry about forgetting anyone. You can even toss it in a note on your phone for easy access.
Coleen you should have a Gift Journal or a note on your phone where you write down where you’re putting the gifts! Like in my phone I do this
Mom:
-iPad (On my closet shelf)
-Pajamas (In bag hung on coat hook in living room)
Sister:
-Record Player (In garage)
-Skateboard (Under guest room dresser)
Etc!
TTQ: what is your love language? What’s Eric’s love language? Can you start to tell what Flynn’s love language might be? Xox 💜
Tortilla talk question:
Hi Colleen! Do you ever think about how you are going to explain UA-cam to your kids?
I don’t think it has to be explained since they’re growing up with it. For example, her oldest already knows all about it and he’s only 3.
@@kandy1643 right, was just curious if she was planning on explaining how millions have seen them grow up or just let them figure it out naturally. Also would she want them in to be creators as well
It's interesting that maisy is so bonded to you since most daughters typically are possessive of their dad. For christmas presents my parents used to just hide our gifts wrapped at our grandma's house so that if we went looking for them we wouldn't find them at home
I just wanted to give a quick little advice, you can write on your phone where you hid the presents! I don't know if it'll work for you but it helps me a lot to remember things! Love you Colleennn☺️
Something that really helped me process my birth trauma was watching the videos of you talking about yours. In a sense, it validated the things I experienced and the intense emotions I had about it that no one else close to me seemed to truly understand. I felt an intense need to share the trauma I experienced after it was all over and I felt like I was a skipping record with my friends and family, just repeating a story they all had heard a thousand times in different words but they never seemed to really HEAR it. “Oh that sounds so hard im sorry” “im so glad you were so strong” BUT I WASNT STRONG and it broke me and still hurts me. Hearing you GET IT validated me when no one else seemed to be able to GET IT. love you always, Colleen
Hey Colleen! Watching you at the dresser with Maisy made me think about securing furniture to the walls so that kids can’t pull it down on to themselves. I know it takes time to do, but because you have less built in furniture, it’s an important thing to do for everyone’s safety!
I used to always do the same thing with Christmas presents. I would find some months after Christmas that I forgot about🤣🤣
The last couple years, I started making a list in my notes app on my phone. I list what the gift is and where it is hidden. My new system has worked really well❤️
LMAOO, the best sister trophy has me crying
Who else had to rewatch 50x the "OMG SHE IS SO GOSH DARN STINKIN CUTE WITH HER SILLY SASSY SELF MISS MAISY" in All her glory!!!: INSTANT DOSE OF HAPPINESS AND SMILES. WITH THE WORLDS MOST BEAUTIFULLY CONTAGIOUS BABY SMILES!!!!
TTQ : you were talking about how the twin are interacting (and fighting) more has Flynn been noticing if so how does he react?
Ttq: What’s Corys story? How did you guys become so close that he’s basically a part of the family? I’m so curious about that whole dynamic but specifically where it all started. I’d love to hear more about it ❤️
They met in college.
Since Maisy picked out the grasshoppers, she could have worn the “boy” outfit - it doesn’t have to be dress or bust 👍
Maybe Wesley's grasshoppers would be to big for Maisy.
I had the same thought and then remembered Wesley is a lot bigger than Maisy
@@Emma-hd6zx Yeah Wes is a big fella I thought I remember Colleen saying something about 24 month clothes.
@@Emma-hd6zx yeah no, he isn't...that's just what Colleen likes to say and people apparently pick on that despite the twins actually looking the same size
Maybe she just wants them to match
HI GUYS MY MOM AND I LOVE YOU GUYS AND IVE BEEN BATTLING EPILEPSY FOR 6 YEARS I KNOW ITS NOT CANCER BUT THIS STARTED WHEN I WAS 10 I LOVE AND WATCH YALL EVERYDAY BUT TODAY LEAVING THE HOSPITAL I ADKED MY MOM IF WE COULD LOOK AT THE WALL BECAUSE IT WAD CHILDREN HOSPITAL OF LA AND WE FOUND YOUR NAME AND IT INSTANTLY MADE MY DAY BETTER
TTQ: hi colleen! i was wondering if you are planning to do a new house tour? i would love to see the details of the house.
OMG YES! Mukbang with Trisha!! I was hoping hoping hoping you guys would do one!! I am so excited for that!!!
Colleen on your previous vlog did you notice that Wesley said "maisie" during their little chat? if you go to 5:08 it honestly sounded like he did. its the cutest thing ever.
Oh my that hiii and wave from maisie is to freaking cute!!!
You and your family are so cute. Maisie has become very expressive.
haha duck with baby ducks inside and truck with baby trucks inside!! 😂
I’m so excited for the Trish collab
17:53 make a list of what your presents are and where you keep them! My mom has been doing it since i was little and still does it now.
Omg yes thank you so much I have been waiting for this video
5:07 it’s the sound effect when Maisy slaps Colleen that absolutely has me rolling on the floor
Colleen where did u get that fuzzy purple plaid jacket??? It’s so cute and looks cozy
You should visit Chaucer’s book store! In the Gelson’s shopping center off Las Positas. The BEST!
I twirled baton for many years! That part of you twirling was so cute!!
I love Colleen’s plaid purple shacket!! ❤
Love spotting the Kate Quinn clothing my fave clothes for my baby❤❤❤
Colleen - You should listen to the podcast called Australian Birth Stories. There is years worth of stories, multiple each week all categorised. You'd love it 🙂
I can’t believe how fast the twins grew up! This time last year they were the tiniest little things fresh out of the NICU!
It has been so fun watching their little personalities develop so much in the past year and watching your family grow in more ways than one! Thank you Colleen for continuing to share your life, family and most importantly yourself with all of us! You have no idea how good your vlogs make so many people feel! I know the holidays can be a hard time for some people, for my family it’s always hard with my dad not being around anymore but your videos give me this sense of comfort and just a good feeling knowing I can always rely on this channel to provide that feeling of a warm conversation that can brighten up the darkest of days even if just a little. So thank you! ❤
Ttq:
Have you ever thought about getting you tubes tide?
Ahhh! That pink top is the cutest!!!
Tortilla Talk Question: Have you thought of doing gotcha home day parties for the twins? Like a party to celebrate the days they came home from the Nicu? ( you could always do Wesley's the day before or after, or maybe when everyone got to meet him instead of Flynn's bday)
