Love the lunchbox bit of the vlog - I can relate to those days when we really need to do a big shop, so have to scrabble around the kitchen cupboards for packed lunch substitutes!🙈😆
TTQ at the bottom 😚 Hey girl, I am a long time fan (like over a decade of watching) but I am never the type that leaves comments as I typically watch on my TV. I just wanted to pop in and say i’ve been binging your vlogs while I’m home recovering from a major spine surgery this week and I just wanted to thank you for getting me through one of the hardest times of my life. And so many more over the years. My mom asked me when I got home from the hospital “what can I put on? What do you wanna watch?” I was like “will you watch Colleen with me🥹?” We are big fans. One of our favorite things to do together is take a weekend trip to go see you at all your NYC shows. We actually stood on the side of your Uber van blowing you kisses and you were blowing them back from inside the van, after your May 2022 show and I talked about it the rest of the night lol. Something you may never remember but I will remember forever. I know you may never see this comment but that’s okay, it’s worth a shot. I do have a question here and it is: can you/ will you be putting out some more of your merch sweatshirts?!? I want your “I cry a lot” one but I’m not a pink girly and that’s the only one I see left on your site😭 I see you wearing them in all your videos and I’m jealous you look so comfy… and I also cry a lot. Anyway, love you. Thank you for just being you 🖤
I love how focused Flynn was making pizza, Maisie was busy playing in the dough and Wesley's like pouring flour on the floor and then being like clean it up mama.
TTQ: I love getting to see all of your rocks!! Do you think you’ll ever create something out of them or just keep organizing them in your table! I love a craft but also love organization but i’m curious!
Lol!! Oh wow! I’m here for the filters. Maisy is the sweetest thing ever. I kind of sense that she understands Wesley’s needs better than ever. She doesn’t want him sad….. example…. She knocks over the tower they built and very quickly she tells him they can build it again. She just looks at him with the all knowing eyes of a caretaker. When Wesley was working on his pizza, I knew he hated having gooey hands. Sure enough. Your kids are so fun !
TTQ: Do you ever put handwritten notes in Flynn’s lunch? My mom did it for me all through school, even in high school. It would always bring me so much calmness in the middle of a crazy school day. Love youuu 💕
TTQ: Hey Colleen! 💜 I was watching an old vlog of yours, which was Flynn’s first Christmas, (one of my favs!) and your dad gave you a book called “Miranda is…” 🤣 I’m curious if you still have it and if you still read it to Flynn? And the twins?? You’re doing amazing, Colleen. I’m so proud of you and I really admire your strength and your class through this crazy, hateful time in which we are living. You do not deserve the way you’ve been treated. You have a heart of gold and would never intentionally hurt someone. Thank you for not giving up when you wanted to. Your example and presence on this earth are both so important! At the end of the day, we are all human beings. No one is perfect. I have a TINY understanding of what you’ve been through…(I only have 90k subs, and I’ve pretty much been bullied off the internet at this point. I hope to follow your lead and come back soon though.) But just know that a lot of us are still here for you and see you for who you really are. You’re a warrior, and you’re stronger than you know. Love you! 💜
TTQ - have you tried using the ghost equipment you got to try and see if you get any responses? Would love to see video footage of you trying to communicate with whatever is haunting your house 👻 please tell us if there is anything else you have noticed activity wise!!!!
My son was the same, would gobble up the shredded cheese, but wouldn’t touch any other kind. You are an amazing mom and doing an awesome job. Your kids are clearly happy and loved and that is more important than fresh fruit in every lunch box. My son will only eat strawberries and we usually only have them for a couple days out of the week. The rest of three week, I do my best. Love watching your vlogs, they are my happy place. :)
There is a stone called Tigers Iron Eye, not to be confused with Tigers Eye. That’s what it looks like to me. Also for Septarian stone , if it’s UV reactive then it probably is Septarian.
Hi, I'm a single blind mom of three, and I make gemstone bracelets… Red Jasper is one of my favorites! I've been making them since 2020 and I'm self taught. I make stretch bracelets… I cannot make them all smooth and pretty like you, I just create the bracelets. Love rocks and gems
TORTILLA TALK! i know you struggle with skin picking as this is something i struggle with also! I just discovered what is called “picky pads” wondering if you have heard of then / tried them because i am trying to use them to help my skin picking! You can make them yourself or buy them but i think it would be super fun to see you make on during a vlog!!
TTQ: have you ever seen or smelled a lilac bush/flower? I have no idea if they grow in California but they are in bloom in WI and they are such a pretty color and have the best scent. I feel like you would love them!
I showed my parents your rocks on instagram last night and told them how you collect and polish them. I'm 39+3 weeks pregnant and want to start polishing rocks, lol. I think i might wait till baby is born
You should go to New Zealand to get a greenstone because when I went and got a greenstone, they had a tonne of other crystals as well! There’s like meanings behind all the shapes.!😊❤
TTQ can you bring out the scientist 🥼 in you and explain how the rocks are formed, the way different colours appear in them is amazing & I’d love to know how it gets like that, if you don’t really know just make it up & I’ll read the know it all answers in the comments 😂 😘
Your rocks!! I love that super weird one that was just two colors smushed together! Super neat!! After being very discouraged about my rocks, I’m getting excited again for the next batch!
Hey there, I am so sorry to hear about your miscarriage. 💔Just my thoughts but let yourself feel everything you’re feeling. The good the bad, the hard, the easy. All your emotions are worth processing. Let yourself sit with the pain but also don’t hold yourself back from enjoying life again. Your feelings are valid and you deserve to be happy. ❤️🩹
Please someone explain doing laundry in America to me. Can you really just take a load of wet washing & chuck it in the dryer, to dry, all together, without sorting it by material/drying type?
Yes Colleen I Have been fighting a severe sinus infection, and lost my voice for a.few days , now I have to get rid of the cough and mucus that is has plugged my ears eyes and now throat.. feel better
Your kids are the absolute cutest!!!!!😍 Also, my son only like the shredded Mexican cheese too. He won’t eat any other cheese. Oh and he’s 14😂 Loved the ending filters! Hope you feel better real soon! ✌🏻❤️😃
TTQ, has your mental health improved since uploading vlogs again for the past half year? I feel like I took your videos for granted and I shouldn't do that. I missed these videos so much and I'm happy you're back. I just hope you're happy you're back too ❤
Flynn: I got a flower Colleen: So pretty. Flynn: Look at it mom Colleen: Oh it’s gorge Flynn: Should I make a bouquet of flowers? Flynn: I don’t think so We’re here to collect Caterpillars remember? Not flowers. Colleen: Oh Sorry. 🤣 🐛🌼 💜
TTQ: do you think having the kids help make dinner, makes them excited to eat/be less picky? My toddler gets excited to eat something that she helped made!
Oh my goodness! You are so from California (vs me in TX) when you say “the fair may be too stimulating for the kids! Love it so much how times have changed from me raising my now 34 yr old on a farm
Tortilla Talk Idea: do the TT portion using filters the whole time. That would be so funny. This was one of my favorite videos. So many things I liked about it. I've found myself appreciating rocks so much more since you've been vlogging about them. I actually found one the other day while cleaning. I think it's one that I found last summer in Colorado but when I found it I was like dang I wish I could show it to Colleen! Lol.
Not a TTQ but I remember you asking for book recommendations and I wanted to tell you about “high five” by Adam Rubin, read it tonight and I think your kids would love it too. Also “there’s a monster in your book” by Tom fletcher is such a good one!!
TTQ: can we get an update on your dermatillomania? Does having hobbies like rock hunting and tumbling help you focus on clearing your head better? Have you found it to be a distraction?
TTQ! I was thinking it’d be cool to see some before and afters of specific rocks. I know you always show some of what you found and then show after it’s polished, but I never remember which ones are which. Really curious what some of these looked like before ☺️
TTQ: might’ve been addressed before, buttttt do you have TWO sets of washers & dryers?? So jelly haha. Also what are your favorite beaches to collect rocks from? Planning a trip to SoCal & would love to peruse your beaches 🥰
Colleen: “i’m not going to edit much because my shoulder hurts” Also Colleen: *puts 14 different filters on the end of the video 😂😂 you crack me up girl
It actually sounds like you have a sinus infection. Maybe go to urgent care just to see. I use a Neti pot, and it helps a lot. It can be awful, but I still recommend it. Like try a couple times. I hope you are feeling better!! ❤️
TTQ: I've got two! What are the blocks called that the twins are playing with? I could see my boys loving to wreck some towers! The fair reminded me of my family's recent trip to Disneyland. Do you think you'll ever take Flynn again? Or the twins? My husband and I saw you last May on tour in Indianapolis and we both loved it! It made my weekend to be able to see you and I teared up when Erik walked on stage. I could tell how much you two love and support each other ❤ Hope you feel better soon!
My friends are nonplussed, so I have to tell someone I think might care. I was at jury duty today and the Fortnight mv/Taylor/Post came up with pics on the courtroom screen- they were asking us about our biases against facial tattoos. It made me laugh.
I know Flynn has always looked like Erik but right now I see SO MUCH Colleen in his face omg!!🩷🩷
Im howling at the end of this video. You chose the perfect filters at the perfect timings.
TTQ: How often do you get recognised when you go out?
You and Flynn both smiling so big on the fair rides was the cutest ever
Flynn is so articulate for his age!
OMG, I just love Flynn, such a sweet child ❤
Love the lunchbox bit of the vlog - I can relate to those days when we really need to do a big shop, so have to scrabble around the kitchen cupboards for packed lunch substitutes!🙈😆

All your Babies are Precious, & are growing up so fast!! 🥰💜
The fair was so much fun, Flynn is growing so fast. Good Afternoon! Pizza is cool. Flynn's lunch for school looks good. The rock collection is nice.
I love the lunchbox that you have for Flynn! 😊❤ it looks so cool 😎 and fun 🤩 Hope you feel better soon 🔜. ❤
I love how focused Flynn was making pizza, Maisie was busy playing in the dough and Wesley's like pouring flour on the floor and then being like clean it up mama.
So many pretty green rocks!! I feel like there's usually maybe a few green ones. Love them!!
Your kids have great vocabulary!!! Blow my mind when they speaking to each other. So sweet!!! Smart kiddos!!!
TTQ: I love getting to see all of your rocks!! Do you think you’ll ever create something out of them or just keep organizing them in your table! I love a craft but also love organization but i’m curious!
Flynn is so big 🥺
Omg I can't stand how flip'n cute Flynn is!!! All of your kids are so precious! ❤❤❤
Lol!! Oh wow! I’m here for the filters. Maisy is the sweetest thing ever. I kind of sense that she understands Wesley’s needs better than ever. She doesn’t want him sad….. example….

Flynn is so so cute! ☺️❤️👏
TTQ: Do you ever put handwritten notes in Flynn’s lunch? My mom did it for me all through school, even in high school. It would always bring me so much calmness in the middle of a crazy school day. Love youuu 💕
Have you ever thought of getting Flynn into commercials? He is so photogenic an speaks very clearly for a little guy. He is also adorable.
TTQ: Hey Colleen! 💜 I was watching an old vlog of yours, which was Flynn’s first Christmas, (one of my favs!) and your dad gave you a book called “Miranda is…” 🤣 I’m curious if you still have it and if you still read it to Flynn? And the twins??

Get better soon! The kids are Funny as always, and the filters were hilarious! Thank You. 😀
Flashback to these are the things that made my toddler cry today when Flynn was taking about a caterpillar being his best friend 🥺🥺❤❤
TTQ - have you tried using the ghost equipment you got to try and see if you get any responses? Would love to see video footage of you trying to communicate with whatever is haunting your house 👻 please tell us if there is anything else you have noticed activity wise!!!!
Flynn be getting a 3 course meal for lunch😂 I was lucky to get a snack along with my sandwich 😂
My son was the same, would gobble up the shredded cheese, but wouldn’t touch any other kind. You are an amazing mom and doing an awesome job. Your kids are clearly happy and loved and that is more important than fresh fruit in every lunch box. My son will only eat strawberries and we usually only have them for a couple days out of the week. The rest of three week, I do my best. Love watching your vlogs, they are my happy place. :)
The way that Wesley cuts now!😂🤣😹😊❤
There is a stone called Tigers Iron Eye, not to be confused with Tigers Eye. That’s what it looks like to me. Also for Septarian stone , if it’s UV reactive then it probably is Septarian.
Can’t believe how big Flynn has gotten! ❤

I also put a bunch of shredded cheese in my son's lunch box.. he loves it!
TTQ: I am graduating in June. We would like to play a few Taylor Swift songs at the prom. Which songs would you recommend?
Love ur garden so much Colleen it is like a fairytale garden ❤😊
TORTILLA TALK!
i know you struggle with skin picking as this is something i struggle with also! I just discovered what is called “picky pads” wondering if you have heard of then / tried them because i am trying to use them to help my skin picking! You can make them yourself or buy them but i think it would be super fun to see you make on during a vlog!!
TTQ: have you ever seen or smelled a lilac bush/flower? I have no idea if they grow in California but they are in bloom in WI and they are such a pretty color and have the best scent. I feel like you would love them!
I showed my parents your rocks on instagram last night and told them how you collect and polish them. I'm 39+3 weeks pregnant and want to start polishing rocks, lol. I think i might wait till baby is born
Feel better!
I laughed so hard at the end of this video. Your filters were next level. You are definitely one of a kind! Love you mean it. 🤣💜
Your amazing mom queen and keep up the wonderful work ❤❤
The last filter was my favorite. I often feel like that filter felt!
TTQ: Would you and Erik ever do a future podcast using fun/interesting filters on yourselves throughout the video?
The end is comical thank you for always giving me a reason to smile and laugh after a long day ❤️
You should go to New Zealand to get a greenstone because when I went and got a greenstone, they had a tonne of other crystals as well!
There’s like meanings behind all the shapes.!😊❤
Petition to name the new caterpillar Mothew
TTQ can you bring out the scientist 🥼 in you and explain how the rocks are formed, the way different colours appear in them is amazing & I’d love to know how it gets like that, if you don’t really know just make it up & I’ll read the know it all answers in the comments 😂 😘
Umm, I'm sorry. When did Flynn turn 15?
Who said he could be so stinkin' cute? The little bowl cut is so cute on him.
That Taylor Swift line on your sweater is perfect for you! 🥰
TTQ: Which rocks make the best baby names?
Your rocks!! I love that super weird one that was just two colors smushed together! Super neat!! After being very discouraged about my rocks, I’m getting excited again for the next batch!
Hope you feel better soon LUV U ❤😊
I can't believe how grown up Flynn is
Tt: how do you cope with rough things in your life? Im struggling with a miscarriage. I love you sm and have been watching you for over a decade!!!
Hey there, I am so sorry to hear about your miscarriage. 💔Just my thoughts but let yourself feel everything you’re feeling. The good the bad, the hard, the easy. All your emotions are worth processing. Let yourself sit with the pain but also don’t hold yourself back from enjoying life again. Your feelings are valid and you deserve to be happy. ❤️🩹
Stop, Flynn looks like he had the best day ever 🥹
Please someone explain doing laundry in America to me. Can you really just take a load of wet washing & chuck it in the dryer, to dry, all together, without sorting it by material/drying type?

I love the red rocks
TTQ: I remember a long time ago you met the dance moms girls, my question is have you seen the reunion episode, what do you think abot it?
OMG thank you for the laughs at the end you made my day. 🙂🐈🐈⬛💖🌈
You should let your kiddos pick a whole batch of rocks get their favourites at the picking of the rocks and end after polishing 😊
Flynn: I got a flower
Colleen: So pretty.
Flynn: Look at it mom
Colleen: Oh it’s gorge
Flynn: Should I make a bouquet of flowers?
Flynn: I don’t think so We’re here to collect Caterpillars remember? Not flowers.

I lowkey been waiting on the polish finish of the rock that looks like a little beach and it’s sooo pretty!!!! lol
You are so funny girl. Your awesome ❤
So cute , the pizza making was so fun
Not a TTQ but I remember you asking for book recommendations and I wanted to tell you about “high five” by Adam Rubin, read it tonight and I think your kids would love it too. Also “there’s a monster in your book” by Tom fletcher is such a good one!!
funny filters - your comedy timing is hilarious. Hope u feel better soon 😇
Tortilla talk!! What is your favorite episode of Bluey??
TTQ: can we get an update on your dermatillomania? Does having hobbies like rock hunting and tumbling help you focus on clearing your head better? Have you found it to be a distraction?
Tortilla talk: anything this summer you are looking forward to/for?
TTQ! I was thinking it’d be cool to see some before and afters of specific rocks. I know you always show some of what you found and then show after it’s polished, but I never remember which ones are which. Really curious what some of these looked like before ☺️

Also Colleen: *puts 14 different filters on the end of the video
😂😂 you crack me up girl
❤Take care all.
It actually sounds like you have a sinus infection. Maybe go to urgent care just to see. I use a Neti pot, and it helps a lot. It can be awful, but I still recommend it. Like try a couple times. I hope you are feeling better!! ❤️
Flynn looks so much like Colleen,
It’s wild!
TTQ: I've got two! What are the blocks called that the twins are playing with? I could see my boys loving to wreck some towers!
The fair reminded me of my family's recent trip to Disneyland. Do you think you'll ever take Flynn again? Or the twins?
My husband and I saw you last May on tour in Indianapolis and we both loved it! It made my weekend to be able to see you and I teared up when Erik walked on stage. I could tell how much you two love and support each other ❤ Hope you feel better soon!
My friends are nonplussed, so I have to tell someone I think might care. I was at jury duty today and the Fortnight mv/Taylor/Post came up with pics on the courtroom screen- they were asking us about our biases against facial tattoos. It made me laugh.
The filter sarcasm made me LAUGH. Girl, i hope you are feeling better.
Love you Colleen!
What are those square colored blocks the twins were playing with? Are they magnetic?
10:29 Why are these my favorite!?!?!? I laugh so big!
