Whoever reading this, I pray that whatever you’re going through gets better and whatever you’re struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine I wish you the best of what life has to offer.💯
Thank you, December has been a rough month. We had to put our 16 year old dog down two weeks ago, and today we lost my uncle 😢lots of mental health crisis with my kids also. Friday is my birthday and Saturday is my son’s birthday then new years, I am ready to begin a fresh beginning.❤
Butterscotch chips on hello dollies is life changing 😭😭😭 I've literally never heard anyone else talk about hello dollies so I was loving this 🩷🩷 one of my fav desserts, my grandma used to make them and her birthday was on Christmas day. I miss her very much and I miss her hello dollies 💕🎄
TTQ.. if a private jet was waiting at the airport for you, Erik, and your 3 kids, to whisk you away right this minute.. where would you tell the pilot to go..?🤭🥰☺️
The more I go without wearing makeup the more comfortable I get with my normal face HOWEVER whenever I need a little pop of fun a lip stain is my favorite thing and I love getting recommendations from you on that.
TTQ: I'm a fellow swiftie and I've noticed how Taylor Swift was able to resurface the word 'era', do you think you've been through different Eras in your life that have inspired the person you are today? Also love you and your content,I'm glad you're back!
Ok I had to pause the video to write this comment! When Flynn finished your song about “doin it right” it made me so happy because my husband and I sing silly songs all the time and the idea of our future child jumping in and finishing a silly song like that just absolutely melts my heart!! I love seeing the dynamic between you and Flynn grow and evolve as he gets older. He’s such a fun and silly kid!
Can’t wait for your Christmas video!!!! I love watching Christmas with your family videos! I love all your videos tho!!!🥰 MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! 🎄 🎄 We love you Colleen and are so happy you’re back! You were missed! Don’t forget, you’re a beautiful and wonderful person!!!✌🏻❤️😃
What a rough weekend I've had, I am so grateful for your vlog bringing light to my life. Also those hello dollies, I know as magic cookie bars and on top of the graham cracker crust I first put the sweetened condensed milk and then all of the other toppings on top of that ( Coconut, chocolate chips, maybe some walnuts or pecans and peanut butter/ Butterscotch chips or whatever if we feel like it)
I just want to say I am so so so so happy you’re back. I really thought we wouldn’t see you guys anymore. You and your family became such an important daily routine in my life and when you stopped vlogging, it was a sad time. I’m glad you’re back and getting better day by day ♥️
My kids are older now and it was so sweet to see Maisey’s reaction to Christmas morning! It brought back a lot of memories! Thank you so much for sharing with us! ❤️🎄
Colleen! Merry Christmas and happy new year! I’m an old girl over here and I look forward to your positivity vlogs! Thank you for being a damn boss and not letting negativity bring you down. You are a bad ass. Xoxo!
Love Christmas so much!! I baked from 11:00AM -8:00PM 😂on 12/22 it was so worth it !! So busy the entire Christmas weekend but it was amazing!!! Can’t wait to watch the Christmas vlog I know everyone was so excited and it’s such a great day!! So happy to see you excited and happy!! The lip stain looked so good!!
hope you had the best christmas Colleen, i love you so so!! i wore my christmas merch / sweater from you on christmas day and i felt so cozy, miss you!!
Colleen! My sister is a theater teacher and she recently lost her blue theater kid sweatshirt and she is devastated about it? Is there a way I can buy her a new one? Please let me know 😢❤
About to put on lip gloss, says idk I’m an idiot! Colleen, I know it’s so hard and how knee jerk it is to do. But now we are paying attention and we love you!!!
hi colleen! me and my bff sunny have been watching you for YEARS and all throughout the pandemic and beyond. we were supposed to see you front row at your minneapolis show too! we talk about you all the time and get inspired by your little crafts and recipes. we are also both HUGE swifties!! when we both heard the song “castles crumbling” from speak now t.v. , we both instantly thought of you, wondering if you were listening to it too and possibly relating to the lyrics. i wanted to say that we DO “want to know you now” and find so much joy watching your vlogs. thank you for coming back and filling in one of my favorite parts of my day that was missing for months ❤️❤️
I am so grateful for Colleen and her vlogs it’s so calming watching her vlogs esp when she bakes cookies late at night and her Christmas vlogs are even better I rewatch them throughout the year as I am Christmas crazy too I love it!! Thank you Colleen for sharing love you!!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your entire family
Long time fan and I always love watching your Christmas content in addition to your siblings' Christmas content. In a previous video, you said you were working on not talking down about yourself and you accidentally let one slip out without noticing. When you were talking about the new lip gloss, you said "I don't know anything about makeup. I'm stupid." No you are not. Makeup is a hard concept to grasp and I struggle with it as well so you are not stupid for not knowing how to do it correctly 🤗
Colleen! You said so many negative things about yourself in one sentence: "Im not a make-up person, I'm not a make-up guru, I don't know anything, I'm an idiot" (5:27). Stop it girl
It’s so funny or it could just be me, but when you were building legos with Flynn - he said a couple things or maybe it was the way he said them- but it reminded me the way that Parker talks. Def can tell they are related haha
Flynn can sing on key! Love him repeating Colleen while opening his advent. His imitation of her is so cute 😊
So adorable how Flynn finishes your songs and copies your funny sayings! 💜💜💜
Hearing Flynn mimic you reminded me of how he says “the ring the ring”😂😂 you have adorable children. Never stop being the precious mother you are
TTQ Do you still get panic attacks from what happened over summer? And hoe do you deal with your anxiety?
Whoever reading this, I pray that whatever you’re going through gets better and whatever you’re struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine I wish you the best of what life has to offer.💯
Sweet soul thank you.
It’s not my life is really bad
Same good wishes to you also!
Thank you, December has been a rough month. We had to put our 16 year old dog down two weeks ago, and today we lost my uncle 😢lots of mental health crisis with my kids also. Friday is my birthday and Saturday is my son’s birthday then new years, I am ready to begin a fresh beginning.❤
Awww thank you . I hope the same for you and your family. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and soon to be a happy new year. ❤❤
😂😂😂😂😂 Flynn i even took a sticker off them. Awwww good boy Flynn ❤❤❤❤😂😂😂 such character 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
5:29 You ARE so a makeup guru! You even make your own Lisstik , remember ?
Colleen- I’m so glad to see you vlogging again. Hope you’re doing well.
i love that maisy is seriously serving the cutest cindy loo who look with her little pigtails!!🤍
Colleen your Christmas spirit is so epic 🥰 Sending your family happy and healthy wishes for the New Year!
Great comment!! Agreed.
Butterscotch chips on hello dollies is life changing 😭😭😭 I've literally never heard anyone else talk about hello dollies so I was loving this 🩷🩷 one of my fav desserts, my grandma used to make them and her birthday was on Christmas day. I miss her very much and I miss her hello dollies 💕🎄
An Aussie here and have never heard of it. Do you have a good recipe?😊
OMG! I love ur rock advent calendar and Taylor swift ❤❤❤
TTQ.. if a private jet was waiting at the airport for you, Erik, and your 3 kids, to whisk you away right this minute.. where would you tell the pilot to go..?🤭🥰☺️
Ooooo we make the hello dolly as well...but we call it magic cookie bars. SOOOO good
I’ve watched the moment where you sing “You did it” and Flynn sings back “I did it” a MILLION TIMES 😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅👍👍👍👍
colleen pretending santa came is too cute
I'm obsessed with your craft time with Flynn! Merry Christmas to you all! 🫶
Lmao 😂😂😂... Colleen's kids took off all the stickers...of course they did. Mama doesn't like stickers 😭😭😭.
hope you are enjoying your Christmas together with your family Colleen 💖💖💖💖💃💃💖💖💖💖
Awww Flynn is soo smart ❤️ I haven’t watched y’all in forever 😭
I'm going to start using "Maybe not, or something..." Flynn gets all the credit.
yay! i’m so excited to watch!👏🏽💗 i hope y’all had a great christmas!🎄🎅🏽☃️🫶🏽
I truly think Flynn would be amazing in a “Dennis the Menace” remake. He has all the personality and spunk needed for it
I have so looked forward to this! Thank you Colleen for making our Christmas as well as your own bright! I love you Colleen.
I agree
The more I go without wearing makeup the more comfortable I get with my normal face HOWEVER whenever I need a little pop of fun a lip stain is my favorite thing and I love getting recommendations from you on that.
HEY COLLEEN, SO HAPPY YOU'RE BACK!! I have a tortia talk question. Which place do you prefer to search for rocks? A Lake, The Beach or A river.
Merry Christmas!

Yes!!!! Came here to say that. Hope she sees it

YOU Colleen are the best Christmas gift ever. We love you so so much.
Awwww walkie talkies brings back a 💩 load of memories with my brother. 🥹🤣
I had a panic that you had gone again when you didn’t vlog for a few days! Phew!!! 😂 you’re back! Xx
On the Hello Dolly’s, I’ve used Nilla wafers as the crust and baked in a muffin pan. So cute and easy to grab and go. Hope you had a great Christmas.
Flynn is hysterical!! Takes after is momma!!!
Merry Christmas 🎁🎄
