Just wanna say, I’m sure I’m not alone, but this year has absolutely been the worst year of my life and your videos are one of the major things that have gotten me through it, Colleen. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
It has been a hellacious year for me as well. And like you, Colleen’s videos and podcast episodes have been my saving grace during this difficult year.
Same girl same! My mom passed away Jan 2020 and I found Colleens vlog channel and her videos brought my joy and I always had something to look forward to everyday for her vlogs and I’ll forever be grateful for her ❤️
💜Yeah me too Colleen has helped me and all of us so much over past years and especially throughout lockdown I hope she understands that even a silly 5 minute video of her playing with her kids is just amazing and really gets us through the day💜
Colleen please don’t ever quit RUclips! I literally look forward to your life updates every day! Your vlogs are so entertaining!! I’ve been watching your videos since I was 7 or 8 and you are literally amazing. No one does it like you! We love you Colleen, keep being you! 💗
@@776alpha677beta I was being nice? I’m sure Colleen appreciates the nice comments. I’m not trying to guilt trip or whatever, if she needs to take time to herself, that’s fine. But I’m allowed to be sad and let her know I’d miss her
I must say, checking in with you and your family brightens my days. I’m a gay, childless 30-something with a pretty untraditional lifestyle (and loving it!). So getting that little dose of family really brings me back down to earth and warms me all up. So much love!
TTQ: Did you remember the cinnamon bread? How did it turn out? Was there any difference with you adding the butter in the dough along with the extra butter, ie cooking time, taste, texture? I'm glad I'll still be able to see your family grow and love and laugh here on RUclips. Been watching the vlogs since before the pandemic.
For the silverware TTQ, we've always done it so that spoons and forks face upwards, and knives face down since you can get hurt easily. Love you Colleen and your family!
As you explained the colors you associate with each of your kids it made me think that it’s like Flynn is the sun in the sky, Wes is the grass and trees and Maisy is the flowers ☀️🌲🌷
The amount of anxiety I felt when your timer went off for your bread and you didn’t go get it out 😂 I hope it didn’t burn! Also never leave RUclips cause girl you’re like my virtual best friend! Love you girl!
The way Colleen feels about RUclips & vlogging is the very reason why she's so amazing at it. She started doing it bc she enjoyed it. Not bc of money or views. She genuinely enjoys the ppl that enjoy her so much. And she never lost her love for them when the $$ started coming. She's deserving every dime of it. Not only bc she's great at it but bc she deserves it.
TTQ: Obviously KoKo is the best uncle/bestie/employee ever, that’s so clear ❤️ I’m curious, does he ever have to have tough work related conversations with you? Like having to remind you to post/edit/vlog, rehears, or in general get your work done? Love you, thankful for you.
Tortilla talk question: have you ever taught Flynn about the word entomologist (someone who studies insects). If he continues with his bug fascination it might be good to tell him that he can work with bugs when he grows up. A lot of people don’t even know you can make money working with bugs so it could be worth mentioning to him in the future or whenever.
I was literally telling my sister how you are really one of the few people whose content I do watch. And I was telling how much it helps to hear you talking about your feelings and it has helped me as well through you. Thank you so much for trusting us and for being you with us. It means a lot to see someone so genuine
tortilla talk question: what boundaries do you have for what you film/share regarding your children online? i love seeing flynn, wes, and maisy jo in your vlogs and i notice you seem to have healthy boundaries on what you share regarding your kids :)
You have literally no idea how much you´ve helped me, particularly through this past year which has probably been the toughest one of my life. Your videos and the RELAX podcast have been my safe place and I will be forever grateful to you for that. I love every single one of your vlogs and podcast episodes, even when you say they`re boring or uninteresting. I love and appreciate how honest and real you are, and how you show every aspect of your life, not just the "good" parts of it. Im glad this platform helps you too because you too deserve all the happiness, love and comfort you give us 🤍
The anxiety I got knowing the cinnamon rolls were done baking and you were just chilling about it haha love you so much and it’s been a joy watching your videos all these years!!
TTQ: How is the house hunting going? Would you ever consider moving to Santa Barbara to be closer to your family? When you visited Santa Barbara in the past, you all seemed very happy there. I was always excited to see those vlogs because it looked like your family was living their best life. P.S. Thank you for making me smile with your videos! I love to see the cooking segments again. ☺️💜
Hey, Colleen! I just wanted to tell you how much you mean to me. Last December my Mom was in the hospital and my family was told that she wasn’t going to live. I was more heartbroken and devastated than I’ve ever been. All I could do is cry. I remember one night I was watching your video and you were upset bc maisy was still in the NICU. I had cried all day and watching you made me feel more comforted. I felt like we were both going through a really hard time together. I don’t know what I would do without you!! Also, I’m so happy to say that my Mom survived! She is a living miracle!
I love how you share. Not just sharing or vlogging in general, but how you do it. It makes a genuine impact on me to hear and see how you go through life. Ups and downs. Like you said the other day, it's sleepover talk. I feel like a vlog is like getting an update from a good friend on how it's going in their life. I hope you don't stop!!! But if you ever needed to, I would understand. Does that make sense?
Colleen, I just want to say that you’re one of the few youtubers that i still watch. i’ve been on the platform for over a decade now and things are very different then they were, but something about you sticks out to me. you are such a good person and it shines through in your videos. i really look up to you and hope to be like you. i’ve been going through a hard time in my life, and watching you in your videos has helped me get new perspectives on the things I’m dealing with. thank you for always remaining genuine and honest. you’re such an important, inspirational, positive figure in my life and i really mean that.
I am LOVING the return of the Quarantine Cooking. ☺️ It makes me so happy to see Flynn enjoying it with you! I can’t wait to see the day when you can bake and make crafts with the twins, too.
I feel like there is no one else like Colleen on RUclips. She has her comedy, is organic and authentic on the vlog channel, she has a career as a stage performer, and has done SO MUCH ELSE! literally no one else like her 💜💜💜
I’ve been taught to put the knives faced down, so you obviously don’t stab or cut yourself, and any other silverware like spoons & forks facing up. also love this vlog so much! it was so sweet that erik walked in and surprised you with pizza bagels. It’s the little things that count in life :)
I put forks facing down so the faced up spoons can’t nest into each other and the spoons protect the forks the same way. Knives have their own section.
That’s the way I do it as well! ☺️ Knives I place blade down and then forks and spoons I place upright so that they get properly cleaned. And then I just take the basket out to put them away with clean hands. My fiancé does it that way as well and so does everyone in our families.
I'm so happy you're here in this space. It can be so very toxic on RUclips, but your channel, and the community you've built, are a true oasis of peace, love, humor and ... I almost said normalcy 😂 but most of all, it's your honesty. You share and bare it all, emotionally and we love you for it. 😘✌️ Auntie Sara in Connecticut loves you all. Drink some water and have a snack, my lil lovies
TTQ: how has finding a new home been for you? What type of vibe are you and Erick both looking for? Cottage, modern? Also when you do go look for more homes, can you do a series on it! Like moving and decorating etc? 💗🥰
Maybe I'm the only one, but I still watch RUclips videos almost every day. Your videos always make me smile, I love the mundane daily things you do and talk about because it makes me feel like we are just friends chatting. Also, I do silverware handle down because I think it gets them cleaner 😂
hey colleen, just a tip for the cinnamon bread. instead of putting melted butter and cinnamon and sugar you should use softened butter and mix in the cinnamon to make a paste then spread it on. i’ve found making regular cinnamon rolls that works best
I really love your hair Colleen it’s so pretty (I just wanted to say it). And, wow! Has it really been 14 years? It feel like yesterday I was in the 6th grade-ish and my friend recommended you to me and I’ve been here on the daily ever since. You are a fun loving, sweet, icon and you inspire me Colleen. Love you💞
hey colleen, about the color thing, it sounds a lot like synesthesia, there’s many different types and one of them is called person-color synesthesia where you associate people with colors, another type (that i personally have) is grapheme color synesthesia where you “involuntarily experience colors when thinking about letters, numbers, or words” this can either be projective (where you physically see the color) or associative (where you just associate the color with whatever it is) (i have associative grapheme color synesthesia and stimulus parity synesthesia where i perceive a range of things (colors, letters, months, days of the week) as even or odd (for ex, red is odd, purple is even)
My sister has it too! She says I am yellow and she says it helps her remember numbers since they are associated with colors. My mom has a variation where she hears sounds or music associated with different things
colleen, you literally are my comfort person. your vlogs everyday are sometimes the only thing i look forward to. i dont in any way want you to feel pressured by what i just said and please take a break or stop if you need to, but your content is a safe space and release for so many people. we love you and your family so much
Colleen! You should look up "synesthesia". It's a fancypants name for when you associate things with colors, feelings, smells, etc... There's a theory that it's common in people who are neurodivergent but not much is known about it. (pls like this so she sees it!)
You describing your feelings towards vlogging explains why you've been able to do this for so long. You have a really healthy mindset toward it. Versus thinking about views and titles all day while you film. You're just genuine, and it shows, so we watch!!
when she was talking about the one she was making for wes, i was sure she had put a pickle in it then she mentioned fruits first and i was like oh that’s gonna be wicked gross missed with a pickle…and then i realized no pickle 🤦🏽♀️
Tortilla talk question: How do yours and Erik's parenting styles differ/compare to Jessica/Christopher's parenting styles? Are there things that you learned from them that you try to incorporate into your parenting? Are there things that they do as parents that you prefer to do differently? Not trying to say either style of parenting is the "right" way, just curious how your styles of parenting compare considering you are so close to Jessica and Christopher. P.S. this is not intended as disrespect to anyone- you are all amazing parents in your own way ♥
TTQ: Do you and Kory ever have disagreements/arguments because of work? i always wonder what its like to have such a close working relationship with someone who is your best friend irl. genuine question, all the love!
tortilla talk question: Have you ever heard of a Montessori school or considered it for Flynn when he starts school? If you haven't, it's basically a very hands-on learning style with a more family-like feel (at least at the school I went to) and is also a good place for any learning disabilities. I went to a Montessori school for 11 years and I am so happy that I got the opportunity to do so. I highly recommend researching Montessori schools when looking for schools for Flynn (if that's something you're doing). Love you and your videos! ❤
I paused the vlog to write this, but you mentioned that your viewers help you to be a better person, but I want you to know you do the same for us. Your positive attitude and your constant message of being kind to others and spreading happiness has always been an influence for me to keep myself in check. This relationship between you and your fans goes both ways in every aspect. I really hope you know that
I would like to share that as an extremely emotional person-and woman-I find it INCREDIBLY validating and encouraging to see someone as strong, capable, successful, and overall amazing sharing those same emotions. I’ve learned so much from you about navigating life. Thank you so very much 💜
I’ve been through some really difficult things recently and look forward to your vlogs because it brings me comfort and joy looking at you being so real and authentic with whatever emotion you may feel and with whatever the day brings. I can’t relate to much of your experiences because our lives are so different but what I relate to and what keeps me coming back is your personality. I do not wish to see the day you quit vlogging
You are the only RUclipsr who I’ve watched everyday, EVERY SINGLE VIDEO, for years. PLEASE DONT EVER QUIT RUclips 😭😭😭 I’m so invested and I look forward to every new upload. Let us know how best to support you x
Girl. That title ☠️☠️ I’ve been watching you for YEARS! Before the twins, before Flynn, before Eric. You are my LIFE and I couldn’t imagine you not being a part of it 🖤
This channel is my comfort channel, I love watching your “boring” vlogs (even though they’re far from that). they bring so much peace and joy and realness and calm and I’m so thankful that you share your authentic self with us❤️ on another note, the whole time you were talking about RUclips I was freaking out about the bread in the oven hahaha
I live in the UK, and you usually post your vlogs just before I go to sleep. It’s become such a routine to settle down and watch your video, to see how your day went and to think about how mine went too. I’m sure you don’t realise how much vlogs like these mean to your audience, no matter how “boring” you think the content might sometimes be (they never are!) Thank you Colleen 💜
Since the twins love pickles, my mom used to make me pickle pops that I always had. Apparently I loved them! Just a thought! Also, I love you and your family so much 💛
I am so glad that your videos are so beneficial for you as well! I always feel bad when a RUclipsr that really helps me talks about how hard RUclips can be and how they may be taking a break or leaving. It makes me feel selfish for how much I want them to stay when it isn't helpful for them. I am so grateful that we can be as helpful to Colleen as she is to us!
Most of the reason I think I have literally watched almost all your vlogs is you just honestly seem genuinely happy to post and just be making videos of your life
watching your videos, and your whole family’s videos, has helped me through so much. so it genuinely makes me emotional to hear how much it helps you to share with us. the support goes both ways. thank you for letting us into your life. i love this community of viewers we have here. love you so much 💛💛💛
Hey Colleen, it would be super cool if you had your recipe book from during quarantine produced. I think a fair number of people would be interested in it. I love your video and your good energy. Keep up the good work!
TTQ: Since we all love watching you open packages, would you be down to show us the gifts you got on tour? I was at the Vegas show, and would love to see your reaction ❤️ I love you ❤️
It's so awesome of you to be doing crafts and diys with Flynn! Many parents these days just glue their children to electronics, so it's cool to see that. Have a great day!! Much love
Colleen- I just want you to know that you have been a HUGE part of my life especially during Covid. You are so inspirational and a great role model for your kids. I also love watching your kids grow. Pls don’t quit! ❤️❤️
Colleen whenever I am having a rough day I literally can't wait until that part of the day when I have my pajamas on and your video is posted and I can jump in bed and watch your videos. I hope you continue posting vlogs so we can see all the significant changes in your life and watch your adorable twins and your cute son Flynn grow up into the unique humans they are. I love your videos so much and I love you and your family so much you are literally my #1 person EVER TORTILLA TALK QUESTION: when Eric normally isn't in the vlogs where is he at or does he prefer not to be on camera love you girl and I support your final decision❤🧡💛💚💙💜💝
My heart literally dropped when I saw the title of this video. Your videos have helped me through so much. You helped me realize that my feelings are valid and I’m worthy of love. I don’t know what I would do with myself without your vlogs. I love you Colleen!!!
I loved this blog because I really do resonate with talking out my emotions. I love it when you talk about your dermatillamania because I have trich and it is rare for people to talk about these illnesses and i loved finding someone who is similar to me! So thank you for that!
When you said you did process life before RUclips - before RUclips you were constantly journalling. So really you've been constantly processing your emotions and your life through either written or spoken word so i don't think it's weird at all that RUclips works for you. And I'm glad you've found a little corner where we can all support each other and you!!
As someone who still uses RUclips like it’s still new and checks my subscriptions everyday, your videos are what keep me going and I look forward to watching them each time I get on RUclips. Please never stop what your doing ❤️
Tears came to my eyes when I saw the title. Colleen- do what makes you happy but know that so many people rely on your videos to get them through life. We all love you so much!
I saw the title and immediately clicked it. I hope she doesn't stop RUclips, I love her video's! I'd get I if she did though, she has to do what she feels is best for her and her family.
From one paranoid mom to another, I learned that grabbing food out of their mouth can actually cause them to choke as the chunk of food can accidentally get pushed back in the panic of digging the chunk out. I totally know it’s most moms immediate reaction but just wanted to pass info along. I followed solidstarts and they have tons of resources for us paranoid moms❤️❤️
Colleen you are the reason I use RUclips! Please stay for ever! I always going to watch your videos. Love you! You show me how to be a human who cares about others and respect them!
11:41 Hey Colleen, you might have already heard this but what you're describing is commonly referred to synesthesia and yes, many people experience this! :) I actually do this, too. Numbers, words, and letters have particular features (like colors or shapes or shades) associated with them. I learned about it in high school, until then I didn't realize that it had a name or that others did it too! It's really cool!
Colleen may still have synesthesia but it seemed like what she was talking about was more of a color association than actually seeing that color appear in front of her when those people talk or are in front of her which would be synesthesia. I recently graduated with a bachelor's of science in behavioral neuroscience and synesthesia is really cool and interesting but not exactly what Colleen described! But I agree super interesting topic and she may still have it if she meant that she actually sees those colors!!!!
I totally understand you Colleen! When you upload and talk sincerely of how you feel or what you are going through you make my day and make me feel understood, you have changed my life in so many ways that no one ever will, you are amazing. Love you so much!
Thank you so much for continuing to make content. You’re one of the creators who inspired me to make my own channel. I love your videos because I feel like I can relate to how you’re feeling and you help me to process my own emotions. I’m a twin myself and my mom and I watched your videos together and she loves getting to see the twins because it brings back memories from when my sister and I were babies. Keep being you and thank you for being someone I can look up to ❤️
That title made me comment for the first time! Also, I panicked. I just turned 42 and I can't have kids after I always wanted them. I've been going through a major craving for kids recently after letting it go long ago. To make a long story short. I am very emotional and depressed a lot. Your kids laughter literally put a smile on my face when NOTHING else can. What you're doing on RUclips REALLY does help people. ❤️ Please don't give up. We need you as much as you need us. Thank you for everything you do. Much love and respect.
This felt like a Clickbait title...and it is 😁 You're part of my evening routine. It's like sitting down with your closest friend and spending time together. Whether it's laughing or crying or adding to the list of grievances that life brings. It's also been good to see that your relationship with Eric is evolving and your putting work into a healthy marriage. This is especially evident in the podcast. I hear both of you showing growth and trying to understand one another better. As an adult, this is really encouraging to see and is inspiring that it's okay to have constructive arguments. I have to admit it's still difficult to listen to them squabble on the podcast. It feels like they forget that we're all watching and listening to them battle each other. I have also noticed that Colleen is doing better at not interrupting Eric. She still does it but at least she recognizes it and for the most part apologizes. I wish the best for their marriage and their journey with 3 children under 3.
Not really if it was really click bait ther wouldn’t be a question mark at the end but that’s my opinion? But I’ve been watching Colleen for so long that I know difference between click bait and a questionable title. If her title is questionable then I know she’s talking about a tortilla talk question that she’s going to talk about? Maybe you will learn her the more you watch just as I did.
@@lifeascassandra5758 clickbait is also when someone creates a title that will make more people concerned or has high interest, so that the user is more likely to click on it. Anyway, I've watched Colleen since the beginning, so I do know some things but no one can really know what's in her mind or what she's thinking. Just because I think it's a Clickbait title is solely my opinion. It doesn't mean that it is the gospel truth.
TTQ: COLLEEN!!! I instantly got excited when you started talking about attaching colours to certain people/things. Have you ever heard of synesthesia!? It’s a neurological phenomenon where your senses basically cross over. They will hear a name and see a colour, or look at a photo and be able to smell it. All humans emit a specific colour called an aura that certain synesthesists can actually see. Do you think you have that!? You should go to one and see if your colours match up!! Big hugs and love. Ps. If I could bet, Flynn is totally yellow. 😋🫶🏼
I'm glad that you don't want to quit RUclips because you became a part of my daily routine, your videos, your amazingly cute children, their giggles, your super deep conversations with us. I can't imagine youtube without you, Colleen! Love you!
You inspire me, Colleen. The people who love you are mostly the people who are inspired by you. It has been such a journey watching Wesley, Maisie, and Flynn grow. No one is forcing you to stop or keep on being a RUclipsr, at least not me. You do you, but we do want you to know that we enjoy your vlogs/videos. They are so entertaining and sometimes relatable, and I’m 10! Im not one of those people who just comment on every RUclipsr’s post, so this is important and I’m not lying. It is definitely important to be w/ you kids and your family, so do not feel they people are directly forcing you to keep posting videos on RUclips. Again, I’m so proud of you Colleen! You do you! 💜💜💜
I was so scared you were quitting RUclips, I literally had to forward then rewind back 😂 I love you Colleen, I think your such a cool mum and I’m glad your not leaving us ❤️
Just wanna say, I’m sure I’m not alone, but this year has absolutely been the worst year of my life and your videos are one of the major things that have gotten me through it, Colleen. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

I know! She can’t stop making videos I love her too much! ❤️
If you love her you would support her choices if she did need to quit not make her feel bad about it

Yes
I know! If I’ll cry if she quits!
Yes! Have yet to watch the video but I'd die without colleen! Of course if she needs a break she has the right for a break but aaaaah!
Same I was like noo but do what you need girl
For real!!!
I just love seeing Kory interacting with your kids. I think he loves them as much as I love my nieces and nephews
I must say, checking in with you and your family brightens my days. I’m a gay, childless 30-something with a pretty untraditional lifestyle (and loving it!). So getting that little dose of family really brings me back down to earth and warms me all up. So much love!
me too!
TTQ: Did you remember the cinnamon bread? How did it turn out? Was there any difference with you adding the butter in the dough along with the extra butter, ie cooking time, taste, texture?
I'm glad I'll still be able to see your family grow and love and laugh here on RUclips. Been watching the vlogs since before the pandemic.
^^^this!
I was so curious about the breaddddd I feel like she forgot for sure
For the silverware TTQ, we've always done it so that spoons and forks face upwards, and knives face down since you can get hurt easily. Love you Colleen and your family!
That’s exactly what my family does!
Same!
Came to comment this too!
As you explained the colors you associate with each of your kids it made me think that it’s like Flynn is the sun in the sky, Wes is the grass and trees and Maisy is the flowers ☀️🌲🌷
And Flynn will help them grow 🥲😭
This is adorable
This is perfect.
Awww this is absolutely adorable! And colleen would be mother earth! ☺
It's called synesthesia.
The amount of anxiety I felt when your timer went off for your bread and you didn’t go get it out 😂 I hope it didn’t burn! Also never leave RUclips cause girl you’re like my virtual best friend! Love you girl!

There is a Dr. Seuss book…I like bugs…o think it’s called…and it talks about entomology. A good one to get if he doesn’t have it.

Wondered this to
Is she quitting RUclips
Hey, Colleen! I just wanted to tell you how much you mean to me. Last December my Mom was in the hospital and my family was told that she wasn’t going to live. I was more heartbroken and devastated than I’ve ever been. All I could do is cry. I remember one night I was watching your video and you were upset bc maisy was still in the NICU. I had cried all day and watching you made me feel more comforted. I felt like we were both going through a really hard time together. I don’t know what I would do without you!!
Also, I’m so happy to say that my Mom survived! She is a living miracle!
So glad yr mom is ok!! My mom is my everything!
💞💞💞💞💞💞

Congrats!!!!
imj sorry your mom was in the nicu

Colleen, I just want to say that you’re one of the few youtubers that i still watch. i’ve been on the platform for over a decade now and things are very different then they were, but something about you sticks out to me. you are such a good person and it shines through in your videos. i really look up to you and hope to be like you.
i’ve been going through a hard time in my life, and watching you in your videos has helped me get new perspectives on the things I’m dealing with.
thank you for always remaining genuine and honest. you’re such an important, inspirational, positive figure in my life and i really mean that.
I am LOVING the return of the Quarantine Cooking. ☺️ It makes me so happy to see Flynn enjoying it with you! I can’t wait to see the day when you can bake and make crafts with the twins, too.
I feel like there is no one else like Colleen on RUclips. She has her comedy, is organic and authentic on the vlog channel, she has a career as a stage performer, and has done SO MUCH ELSE! literally no one else like her 💜💜💜
I’ve been taught to put the knives faced down, so you obviously don’t stab or cut yourself, and any other silverware like spoons & forks facing up. also love this vlog so much! it was so sweet that erik walked in and surprised you with pizza bagels. It’s the little things that count in life :)
Yes. This is the correct way.
I put forks facing down so the faced up spoons can’t nest into each other and the spoons protect the forks the same way. Knives have their own section.
That’s the way I do it as well! ☺️ Knives I place blade down and then forks and spoons I place upright so that they get properly cleaned. And then I just take the basket out to put them away with clean hands. My fiancé does it that way as well and so does everyone in our families.
Me to!

I'm so happy you're here in this space. It can be so very toxic on RUclips, but your channel, and the community you've built, are a true oasis of peace, love, humor and ... I almost said normalcy 😂 but most of all, it's your honesty. You share and bare it all, emotionally and we love you for it. 😘✌️ Auntie Sara in Connecticut loves you all. Drink some water and have a snack, my lil lovies
TTQ: how has finding a new home been for you? What type of vibe are you and Erick both looking for? Cottage, modern? Also when you do go look for more homes, can you do a series on it! Like moving and decorating etc? 💗🥰
I love the baby giggles. I could listen to that all day. It always makes me happy 😊
Please don’t quit RUclips these videos brighten my day and your kids make me laugh so much love your family so much
its just clickbait to get you roused up..dont fall for it x
Me too 🥲
@HIBA TV how bored are you😂 you have commented on almost every comment ahahah
@@30nash30 lmao
I’m not a bot and I knew it was click bait
I just wanted her to know how much these videos make me smile and some days she needs good comments
I hope you aren’t quitting but if you are happier that way, do what you need.
Exactly
Maybe I'm the only one, but I still watch RUclips videos almost every day. Your videos always make me smile, I love the mundane daily things you do and talk about because it makes me feel like we are just friends chatting. Also, I do silverware handle down because I think it gets them cleaner 😂
hey colleen, just a tip for the cinnamon bread. instead of putting melted butter and cinnamon and sugar you should use softened butter and mix in the cinnamon to make a paste then spread it on. i’ve found making regular cinnamon rolls that works best
I really love your hair Colleen it’s so pretty (I just wanted to say it). And, wow! Has it really been 14 years? It feel like yesterday I was in the 6th grade-ish and my friend recommended you to me and I’ve been here on the daily ever since. You are a fun loving, sweet, icon and you inspire me Colleen. Love you💞
hey colleen, about the color thing, it sounds a lot like synesthesia, there’s many different types and one of them is called person-color synesthesia where you associate people with colors, another type (that i personally have) is grapheme color synesthesia where you “involuntarily experience colors when thinking about letters, numbers, or words” this can either be projective (where you physically see the color) or associative (where you just associate the color with whatever it is) (i have associative grapheme color synesthesia and stimulus parity synesthesia where i perceive a range of things (colors, letters, months, days of the week) as even or odd (for ex, red is odd, purple is even)
My sister has it too! She says I am yellow and she says it helps her remember numbers since they are associated with colors. My mom has a variation where she hears sounds or music associated with different things
I read a book about this called a mange shaped space I loved it 😊
thats what i was thinking, and personally for me it varies from number, not just even or odd
@@elenadrago3470 omgggg thats literally my fav book! i cried so hard when mango died 😭😭
Yesssss
colleen, you literally are my comfort person. your vlogs everyday are sometimes the only thing i look forward to. i dont in any way want you to feel pressured by what i just said and please take a break or stop if you need to, but your content is a safe space and release for so many people. we love you and your family so much
Omg we should have a pintobean & Miranda cooking series!
Flynn's gotten so good at dumping ingredients!
Maisy - Spring Colors
Flynn - Summer Colors
Wesley - Fall Colors
I can definitely see and vibe that through pictures/videos.
Yess!!
Colleen! You should look up "synesthesia". It's a fancypants name for when you associate things with colors, feelings, smells, etc... There's a theory that it's common in people who are neurodivergent but not much is known about it. (pls like this so she sees it!)
I thought this too!
YES! Commenting so she sees this!
Yes! Literally was looking for this comment! Hope she’s sees it. This topic has always been fascinating to me.
its not associating its literally hearing and tasting and seeing. ex: hears a sound, LITERALLY TASTES GRAPES
Colleen please don’t quit RUclips. You have helped me so much and I don’t know where I would be without you.
You describing your feelings towards vlogging explains why you've been able to do this for so long. You have a really healthy mindset toward it. Versus thinking about views and titles all day while you film. You're just genuine, and it shows, so we watch!!
Tortilla talk question: Colleen what fruits are the baby's favorites in their pacifiers? Do you think it would work to put a pickle in the pacifiers?
Ooh frozen pickle juice and water to dilute it a bit?!
when she was talking about the one she was making for wes, i was sure she had put a pickle in it then she mentioned fruits first and i was like oh that’s gonna be wicked gross missed with a pickle…and then i realized no pickle 🤦🏽♀️
Tortilla talk question: How do yours and Erik's parenting styles differ/compare to Jessica/Christopher's parenting styles? Are there things that you learned from them that you try to incorporate into your parenting? Are there things that they do as parents that you prefer to do differently? Not trying to say either style of parenting is the "right" way, just curious how your styles of parenting compare considering you are so close to Jessica and Christopher.
P.S. this is not intended as disrespect to anyone- you are all amazing parents in your own way ♥
This is a good question! I’m actually wondering now too
TTQ: Do you and Kory ever have disagreements/arguments because of work? i always wonder what its like to have such a close working relationship with someone who is your best friend irl. genuine question, all the love!
tortilla talk question: Have you ever heard of a Montessori school or considered it for Flynn when he starts school? If you haven't, it's basically a very hands-on learning style with a more family-like feel (at least at the school I went to) and is also a good place for any learning disabilities. I went to a Montessori school for 11 years and I am so happy that I got the opportunity to do so. I highly recommend researching Montessori schools when looking for schools for Flynn (if that's something you're doing). Love you and your videos! ❤
I paused the vlog to write this, but you mentioned that your viewers help you to be a better person, but I want you to know you do the same for us. Your positive attitude and your constant message of being kind to others and spreading happiness has always been an influence for me to keep myself in check. This relationship between you and your fans goes both ways in every aspect. I really hope you know that
I would like to share that as an extremely emotional person-and woman-I find it INCREDIBLY validating and encouraging to see someone as strong, capable, successful, and overall amazing sharing those same emotions. I’ve learned so much from you about navigating life. Thank you so very much 💜
I’ve been through some really difficult things recently and look forward to your vlogs because it brings me comfort and joy looking at you being so real and authentic with whatever emotion you may feel and with whatever the day brings. I can’t relate to much of your experiences because our lives are so different but what I relate to and what keeps me coming back is your personality. I do not wish to see the day you quit vlogging
Colleen!! You should add the baby’s giggles to your intro song so all your kids are incorporated
Best medicine is baby laughing. Love how happy your kids are. ♥️♥️
You are the only RUclipsr who I’ve watched everyday, EVERY SINGLE VIDEO, for years. PLEASE DONT EVER QUIT RUclips 😭😭😭 I’m so invested and I look forward to every new upload. Let us know how best to support you x
The anxiety I have knowing the bread timer went off and the bread needs to come out of the oven but Colleen is still talking…. 😆
I have been SEARCHING for a comment about this, i can't focus on what she's saying bc I'm just "omg colleen, your bread, please"
I was totally stressing on that too!! Hahaha!!
Same!!!
Right?! Like I started Wondering if she completely forgot about the bread!
I'm sure someone is downstairs to take it out lol
Girl. That title ☠️☠️ I’ve been watching you for YEARS! Before the twins, before Flynn, before Eric. You are my LIFE and I couldn’t imagine you not being a part of it 🖤
Colleen! My daughter just took her first steps and it made my day after a few stressful weeks. Just wanted to share some good news with you ❤
I am so happy for you and your daughter.
This channel is my comfort channel, I love watching your “boring” vlogs (even though they’re far from that). they bring so much peace and joy and realness and calm and I’m so thankful that you share your authentic self with us❤️ on another note, the whole time you were talking about RUclips I was freaking out about the bread in the oven hahaha
Props to you for prioritizing your well-being and following through on the decision to not stay up past midnight to work. Love that!
Love that the video started with giggles omg we love you and your family Colleen!
The quarantine nostalgia gave me so much comfort and kind of made me miss when we were all at home “together” please keep doing more recipe videos
I live in the UK, and you usually post your vlogs just before I go to sleep. It’s become such a routine to settle down and watch your video, to see how your day went and to think about how mine went too. I’m sure you don’t realise how much vlogs like these mean to your audience, no matter how “boring” you think the content might sometimes be (they never are!) Thank you Colleen 💜
When you said “I don’t really care if they think that because I do it because it makes me happy…”
That was pure gold. So proud of you Colleen!
Eric is so sweet! You are blessed to have each other… That was so sweet and thoughtful.
Since the twins love pickles, my mom used to make me pickle pops that I always had. Apparently I loved them! Just a thought! Also, I love you and your family so much 💛
Forgot to say, she just used the pickle juice for it.
I love to hear someone talk about how RUclips is much more than just talking to a camera. It really helps us feel connected to you too!
I agree!
Thanks Colleen and Kory for all the amazing videos! 🥺❤️
I am so glad that your videos are so beneficial for you as well! I always feel bad when a RUclipsr that really helps me talks about how hard RUclips can be and how they may be taking a break or leaving. It makes me feel selfish for how much I want them to stay when it isn't helpful for them. I am so grateful that we can be as helpful to Colleen as she is to us!
Most of the reason I think I have literally watched almost all your vlogs is you just honestly seem genuinely happy to post and just be making videos of your life
watching your videos, and your whole family’s videos, has helped me through so much. so it genuinely makes me emotional to hear how much it helps you to share with us. the support goes both ways. thank you for letting us into your life. i love this community of viewers we have here. love you so much 💛💛💛
Hey Colleen, it would be super cool if you had your recipe book from during quarantine produced. I think a fair number of people would be interested in it. I love your video and your good energy. Keep up the good work!
TTQ: Since we all love watching you open packages, would you be down to show us the gifts you got on tour? I was at the Vegas show, and would love to see your reaction ❤️ I love you ❤️
It's so awesome of you to be doing crafts and diys with Flynn! Many parents these days just glue their children to electronics, so it's cool to see that. Have a great day!! Much love
Colleen-
I just want you to know that you have been a HUGE part of my life especially during Covid.
You are so inspirational and a great role model for your kids. I also love watching your kids grow. Pls don’t quit! ❤️❤️
Colleen whenever I am having a rough day I literally can't wait until that part of the day when I have my pajamas on and your video is posted and I can jump in bed and watch your videos. I hope you continue posting vlogs so we can see all the significant changes in your life and watch your adorable twins and your cute son Flynn grow up into the unique humans they are. I love your videos so much and I love you and your family so much you are literally my #1 person EVER TORTILLA TALK QUESTION: when Eric normally isn't in the vlogs where is he at or does he prefer not to be on camera love you girl and I support your final decision❤🧡💛💚💙💜💝
My heart literally dropped when I saw the title of this video. Your videos have helped me through so much. You helped me realize that my feelings are valid and I’m worthy of love. I don’t know what I would do with myself without your vlogs. I love you Colleen!!!
same
Please do not quit youtube i love ur videos so much and everybody loves them too
❤️❤️❤️❤️ you make me feel better as a person and a mom. Just knowing it’s hectic for other moms too is comforting to see.
I loved this blog because I really do resonate with talking out my emotions. I love it when you talk about your dermatillamania because I have trich and it is rare for people to talk about these illnesses and i loved finding someone who is similar to me! So thank you for that!
You have helped me through many hard times as well! Thank you for being there! ❤️
When you said you did process life before RUclips - before RUclips you were constantly journalling. So really you've been constantly processing your emotions and your life through either written or spoken word so i don't think it's weird at all that RUclips works for you. And I'm glad you've found a little corner where we can all support each other and you!!
I had a fairy like that when I was little and I LOVED it. Flynn was adorable playing with his fairy. 😭
As someone who still uses RUclips like it’s still new and checks my subscriptions everyday, your videos are what keep me going and I look forward to watching them each time I get on RUclips. Please never stop what your doing ❤️
Tears came to my eyes when I saw the title. Colleen- do what makes you happy but know that so many people rely on your videos to get them through life. We all love you so much!
I saw the title and immediately clicked it. I hope she doesn't stop RUclips, I love her video's! I'd get I if she did though, she has to do what she feels is best for her and her family.
From one paranoid mom to another, I learned that grabbing food out of their mouth can actually cause them to choke as the chunk of food can accidentally get pushed back in the panic of digging the chunk out. I totally know it’s most moms immediate reaction but just wanted to pass info along. I followed solidstarts and they have tons of resources for us paranoid moms❤️❤️

in my family we put the knifes facing down, and the forks and spoon facing up! love you Colleen!!!!
Colleen you are the reason I use RUclips! Please stay for ever! I always going to watch your videos. Love you! You show me how to be a human who cares about others and respect them!
11:41 Hey Colleen, you might have already heard this but what you're describing is commonly referred to synesthesia and yes, many people experience this! :) I actually do this, too. Numbers, words, and letters have particular features (like colors or shapes or shades) associated with them. I learned about it in high school, until then I didn't realize that it had a name or that others did it too! It's really cool!
Colleen may still have synesthesia but it seemed like what she was talking about was more of a color association than actually seeing that color appear in front of her when those people talk or are in front of her which would be synesthesia. I recently graduated with a bachelor's of science in behavioral neuroscience and synesthesia is really cool and interesting but not exactly what Colleen described! But I agree super interesting topic and she may still have it if she meant that she actually sees those colors!!!!
@@graceputnam2417 that is a fascinating degree of study! I have a BAS in early cognitive development!
I totally understand you Colleen! When you upload and talk sincerely of how you feel or what you are going through you make my day and make me feel understood, you have changed my life in so many ways that no one ever will, you are amazing. Love you so much!
maisy's laugh at the beginning 🥹 instantly made me smile
Plz don’t quit im sure so many ppl wanna see the kids grow up to be beautiful people
I think her kids lives should actually be more private for their safety and privacy. But I’d love to keep up with Colleen 💕
@@rachellamirabella8333 agree!
Thank you so much for continuing to make content. You’re one of the creators who inspired me to make my own channel. I love your videos because I feel like I can relate to how you’re feeling and you help me to process my own emotions. I’m a twin myself and my mom and I watched your videos together and she loves getting to see the twins because it brings back memories from when my sister and I were babies. Keep being you and thank you for being someone I can look up to ❤️
i honestly love watching you make food and do like everyday house things! it’s really calming and it’s nice to see normal stuff that others do! :)
That title made me comment for the first time! Also, I panicked. I just turned 42 and I can't have kids after I always wanted them. I've been going through a major craving for kids recently after letting it go long ago. To make a long story short. I am very emotional and depressed a lot. Your kids laughter literally put a smile on my face when NOTHING else can. What you're doing on RUclips REALLY does help people. ❤️ Please don't give up. We need you as much as you need us. Thank you for everything you do. Much love and respect.
This felt like a Clickbait title...and it is 😁 You're part of my evening routine. It's like sitting down with your closest friend and spending time together. Whether it's laughing or crying or adding to the list of grievances that life brings.
It's also been good to see that your relationship with Eric is evolving and your putting work into a healthy marriage. This is especially evident in the podcast. I hear both of you showing growth and trying to understand one another better. As an adult, this is really encouraging to see and is inspiring that it's okay to have constructive arguments. I have to admit it's still difficult to listen to them squabble on the podcast. It feels like they forget that we're all watching and listening to them battle each other.
I have also noticed that Colleen is doing better at not interrupting Eric. She still does it but at least she recognizes it and for the most part apologizes.
I wish the best for their marriage and their journey with 3 children under 3.
Not really if it was really click bait ther wouldn’t be a question mark at the end but that’s my opinion? But I’ve been watching Colleen for so long that I know difference between click bait and a questionable title. If her title is questionable then I know she’s talking about a tortilla talk question that she’s going to talk about? Maybe you will learn her the more you watch just as I did.
@@lifeascassandra5758 clickbait is also when someone creates a title that will make more people concerned or has high interest, so that the user is more likely to click on it.
Anyway, I've watched Colleen since the beginning, so I do know some things but no one can really know what's in her mind or what she's thinking. Just because I think it's a Clickbait title is solely my opinion. It doesn't mean that it is the gospel truth.
TTQ: COLLEEN!!! I instantly got excited when you started talking about attaching colours to certain people/things. Have you ever heard of synesthesia!? It’s a neurological phenomenon where your senses basically cross over. They will hear a name and see a colour, or look at a photo and be able to smell it. All humans emit a specific colour called an aura that certain synesthesists can actually see. Do you think you have that!? You should go to one and see if your colours match up!! Big hugs and love. Ps. If I could bet, Flynn is totally yellow. 😋🫶🏼
I WAS LOOKING FOR A COMMENT TO SAY IT WAS SYNESTHESIA SO I DIDNT HAVE TO SAY IT!! THX SO MUCH KATHERINE!!!
I'm glad that you don't want to quit RUclips because you became a part of my daily routine, your videos, your amazingly cute children, their giggles, your super deep conversations with us. I can't imagine youtube without you, Colleen! Love you!
You inspire me, Colleen. The people who love you are mostly the people who are inspired by you. It has been such a journey watching Wesley, Maisie, and Flynn grow. No one is forcing you to stop or keep on being a RUclipsr, at least not me. You do you, but we do want you to know that we enjoy your vlogs/videos. They are so entertaining and sometimes relatable, and I’m 10! Im not one of those people who just comment on every RUclipsr’s post, so this is important and I’m not lying. It is definitely important to be w/ you kids and your family, so do not feel they people are directly forcing you to keep posting videos on RUclips. Again, I’m so proud of you Colleen! You do you! 💜💜💜
Thank you for sharing your experiences and feelings with us, you make my days everyday! You're the BEST!!!! ilysm colleen
The twins are so cute! Keep up the great work, I’ve watched every vlog from the being of Covid and u are so strong and talented
Me too!
I was so scared you were quitting RUclips, I literally had to forward then rewind back 😂 I love you Colleen, I think your such a cool mum and I’m glad your not leaving us ❤️
I know when I saw the title of the video I started crying.
Colleen, you should look into reiki and energy practices and things. Seeing colours for energy should definitely be explored!
tortilla talk question: can you please do more get ready with me’s!! 😍
I don’t think you tube is dying out. I still come here daily and you’re the number one person I look for❤️
