Hey Flynn, I was going to tell everyone why it was called a millipede just as you said it!! Did you know that a centipede is called that because they have 100 legs. Century equals 100 years. A centenarian is a person who is 100 years old.
You are going to have SSOOO many cute moments to look back on when the kids are older!! We are so lucky to live in a time where we can so well document these memories!!
It's so fun that you guys are still making the "pillow swimming pool" on the floor for the kids to jump on. I remember you doing that with baby Flynn. Nice to see that the tradition continues. Really enjoyed the spiral rock display and a lot the rocks you showed us today. There was one that was speckled at the end of purples going into the blacks that took my breath away. I was bummed to hear that the dermatillomania is bugging you. Mental health is such a rollercoaster. Sending love from Los Angeles 💛💜
MAISY: “I BURPED!!” 🥰 Aww. My heart, She was so proud of herself, which she should be!! 👏🏼 Kids are so proud of things we see as simple, We all could learn a lot from sweet Maisy, & her sweet siblings!! 💜
The rock haul at the end was outstanding! The 2 rocks before the red one were like tiny pieces of art! There was so much depth and variety in them! you should consider starting a rock store for those who don’t live near places where they can find and tumble their own rocks. It could be a good business model, since you are already doing it anyway, you might as well make some money of it, and you could donate the proceeds to childhood cancer ❤
Flynn definitely needs a Super Big Brother costume! Even if we only see the highlights, he exudes patience and love for the twins ❤ I just love to see it all; starting from when you FIRST got Guss Guss and Daisy, to seeing your first born being a wonderful example for his younger siblings ❤❤❤ I'm happy to have been on your journey as long as I have and I'm not going anywhere 😊
tortilla talk comment? the dermatillomania shame is so real. my cuticles have been a problem forever. often i wouldn't even notice i was picking until someone pointed it out or until i was bleeding, and i used to be so embarrassed to talk about it. but YOUUUU were the first person with a platform, whose content had brought me so much joy for so many years, to ever be open about having it! it made me feel like i wasn't some gross weirdo, and i started being more open about it too. and talking helped so much. now when i go through a bad wave, my partner will gently redirect my attention, and the people who are close to me know that if my fingers are in bad shape that i'm probably not doing awesome mentally, and it's kinda nice to just have other people know, you know? seriously thank you so much for being so open about your own challenges. it's one of the most generous things humans can do for one another, and you do it munificently.
I got myself a gift and it’s a vibratory…..rock tumbler. Not where I thought that was going! 😂 But so glad to hear that it’s gets your rocks polished! 😂😂😂
Hi Colleen!! I would love for you to keep talking about your dermatillomania. I have it as well, and you have drastically helped me feel validated about having it. You are the only person I know that has it and I have a connection to you because of it, even though you don’t know who I am. But I’m rooting for you and thank you for helping me feel validated with having this disorder!!
Colleen, Being so real, & raw is RARE these days!! & You being so Real, & Raw with us your viewers you’re honestly helping out so many of us!! I don’t think you realize The IMPACT you have had on so many of our life’s!! & Just like you help us, We are here to help you!! We can help each other!! Colleen, You have a HUGE support system out here in your Fans, & those who LOVE you!! You’re NOT alone!! YOU MATTER, YOU ARE SO LOVED COLLEEN!! 🥹🥰 Thank you for being you Colleen, We need more Colleen’s in our world!! 💜Do whatever your heart desires Beautiful, I just wanted to tell you that!! 💜
The piano music during the rock montage unlocked a memory for me of the part of Mr Rogers Neighborhood where he looks at “picture picture” aka the field trip part of the show
I make pickey pads for some of my clients. I am a behavioral therapist that works with autistic children and it’s helpful for a lot of them. If they help you Colleen I’m happy to make them for you. It’s made from a rubber mix and any kind of beads. ❤hope they help you.
My adhd is so bad that I don’t trust myself to drive safely without my meds. Thankfully I’ve been on medication for like 20 years now but it still shocks me how off I feel if I don’t take it for a day. Thankful to have it but sometimes really wish I was just normal and could function as a real human without it. You mentioned you were just diagnosed with adhd a few years ago. Have you noticed a big difference since being on medication for it?
Colleen, please don’t feel embarrassed about sharing your dermatillomania struggles! I’ve been curious for an update! You sharing your experiences is the only reason I know what dermatillomania is and was able to get my diagnosis and start treatment in December! I struggle to find people to relate to but I’m always comforted in a way when I even just hear you mention it❤
TTQ: My twin sister gifted me a rock tumbler on our birthday! I am so excited! I already have buckets of rocks I have collected in the past few months. What is your #1 tip for someone just starting out? Something maybe you did in the beginning you no longer feel necessary to do in the process or something you've learned that you definitely would recommend for someone just learning about rock tumbling? Love from Nova Scotia! (amazing rock hounding here btw, if you're planning a rock hounding trip :)
Idk if you’ll see this. I’ve tried a few times😅 I have the same issue with skin picking!! Verrrrryyyyy bad. I’ve been having overlay of acrylic being put on my natural nails. And it dulls the nail to a point where the picking is not as satisfying!! My hands finally look normal again😩😩😩 please try this!!
TTQ: Sense you now have watched the eras tour. If you were to ever do your own tour again, would you change any of it. And if so, what would you change?
I feel the same when I haven’t taken my meds and I’m like why do I feel so out of sorts and I’m like oops oh yeah 😅😂 some of them I know straight away as the withdrawal makes me feel nauseous
OMG hahah it finally clicked why you were talking to Rachel like that at the start. "GIVE IT TO ME RACHEL PLEEEEASE". The jesus sighting.. it finally clicked. hilarious!!! lol
Tortilla Talk: do you ever feel stressed with how many rocks come out of the tumblers? I feel like if I tried I'd be too overwhelmed with how many there are
Like, even when doing good with my dermatillomania, my scars remind me and embarrass me. I love your rock tumbling shirt! I got a second tumbler! 😬 I’m excited to see how the vibrating one does! The kids annd Daisy are adorable as always!
Colleen I went to the beach (the beach to ME is Lake Erie in Cleveland, OH) last night with you in mind! I found 8 pieces of beach glass. My first time searching ever. No rocks that really stick out unfortunately BUT you've given me a new reason to go and I'm looking forward to this summer!!
So the music at the end has me feeling like we were watching one of the videos during Mr. Rogers Neighborhood.😁. And the rock here, 11:29. Like oh my!! I love the colors. I love rocks and this one is a beauty.
I changed my diet -- no more sugar and eat mostly whole food, low carb. It has totally healed my picking disorder and put my ADHD into remission. As long as I stay on track with my diet, it doesn't come back.
Thank you so much for showing us the rocks, I really especially appreciate it right now since you’re feeling self-conscious about your fingers. I wish I could take that embarrassment away from you… There’s no shame in trying to be healthy.
Totally get what you are saying about trick and dermatilamania(sp?) I have trick and pull manly my eyelashes. It’s my biggest insecurity. Obviously people see it and notice it and makes it worse. I feel literally crazy. 🤦🏻♀️😬
Don't get me wrong, i'll watch whatever you post and love every second of it, 💜 but just thought I'd share some video ideas 😊 Day in life of your work (editing, how long it takes you, work snacks, etc) Clean with me (I watch these videos of other youtubers when I clean my disastrous house lol) - your most/least favourite chore Show more dinners! Online shopping timelapse lol - your favourite places to shop and favourite things to buy (even just cleaning supplies, snacks, kid supplies w.e)
Sorry for your struggles. I get so mad when people ask you about your disorder, it is none of their business it is so rude. I grew up in squalor, I cannot stand wearing wrinkled or 'dirty' clothes, I am able to manage, but I will always struggle with that.
Hi internet friends! Today I forgot to take my meds and felt all out of sorts.

Tortilla talk question Does Daisy still follow you everywhere and does Gus still stay with Erik? Do they have a close bond together? I love you! 🩵🌈🩵🩵💛🌈💙🩵🌼💜
Do you guys miss having a swimming pool? I remember all these moments with little flynn. How come you haven't taken the twins for baby swimming when they were younger?
Tortilla talk question: wheres gus? You may have already answered this question but i firget things very easily. Thanks for the vids colleen. Love from the uk❤
I have a horrible memory too. She actually addressed it a few videos ago. She said Gus is there fine and happy. He is shy and doesn't like to be around as much as our vlogging queen Daisy May.💛💜
Hey Flynn, I was going to tell everyone why it was called a millipede just as you said it!! Did you know that a centipede is called that because they have 100 legs. Century equals 100 years. A centenarian is a person who is 100 years old.
Flynn’s smug nod 😂
Now you should start leaving the polished rocks places so when people or kids find them, they feel like they found treasure.
The music you played when you showed your rocks was PERFECT!!!!!
Flynn: “Millipede.” “You know why they call it a millipede? Because, they have a million legs.” 💜
You are going to have SSOOO many cute moments to look back on when the kids are older!!
We are so lucky to live in a time where we can so well document these memories!!
“because it has a million legs *nods* 😏”
Have you ever seen Big Momma’s House 2, where the kid just throws himself off everything? That’s Wesley right there 😂😂😂
I assure you that she’s never seen that movie lmao
So basically Erik was …*DOWN BAD CRYING AT THE GYM*😂😂😂 sry, Swiftie probs😄
Colleen: “Flynn, do I look tired?”
Flynn: “Yes!!”
(Colleen’s reaction, & the music afterwards.)
Oh, Flynn!! 🤣🤣💜
TTQ: Can you give an update on the Trader Joe egg chicks? I'm still so blown away that your mom hatched chickens from eggs bought at the store!
It's so fun that you guys are still making the "pillow swimming pool" on the floor for the kids to jump on. I remember you doing that with baby Flynn. Nice to see that the tradition continues. Really enjoyed the spiral rock display and a lot the rocks you showed us today. There was one that was speckled at the end of purples going into the blacks that took my breath away. I was bummed to hear that the dermatillomania is bugging you. Mental health is such a rollercoaster. Sending love from Los Angeles 💛💜
Maisy is so adorable. She talks so well.
Flynn is such a caring and good big brother. It’s a good reflection on your’s and Carrot’s parenting.
MAISY: “I BURPED!!” 🥰
Aww. My heart, She was so proud of herself, which she should be!! 👏🏼 Kids are so proud of things we see as simple, We all could learn a lot from sweet Maisy, & her sweet siblings!! 💜

I’m obsessed with the rocks!!! They came out to pretty! The hard work pays off at the end

I am on new meds for my undiagnosed adhd and same... I forgot to take it one day...totally back to the mud pit...
I got myself a gift and it’s a vibratory…..rock tumbler. Not where I thought that was going! 😂 But so glad to hear that it’s gets your rocks polished! 😂😂😂

Colleen you could just put your rock tumbler on top of your tumble drier or washing machine if the top is flat and not a glass lid.
I make pickey pads for some of my clients. I am a behavioral therapist that works with autistic children and it’s helpful for a lot of them. If they help you Colleen I’m happy to make them for you. It’s made from a rubber mix and any kind of beads. ❤hope they help you.
That rock at 11:30 literally looks like stained glass, I LOVE IT 😍😍
LOL the way wesley was launching himself onto the pillows
I loooooove the little displays of rocks it’s so wholesome and sweet ♥️♥️♥️
I was just diagnosed with ADHD and dermatillomania. Thank you for talking about it in this video!
I just saw Next to Normal for the first time on stage and thought of you singing Superboy and the Invisible Girl! 💜 we need more Broadway content!!
Maisy whispering is so cute! I love watching them grow up and have different stages of personalities.
the teeny tiny teal blue rock is my absolute favorite!!
My adhd is so bad that I don’t trust myself to drive safely without my meds. Thankfully I’ve been on medication for like 20 years now but it still shocks me how off I feel if I don’t take it for a day. Thankful to have it but sometimes really wish I was just normal and could function as a real human without it. You mentioned you were just diagnosed with adhd a few years ago. Have you noticed a big difference since being on medication for it?
My goodness Wes looks like a mix of Parker & Duncan, the Ballinger Genes are Strong 😃👍🏻♥️
Colleen, please don’t feel embarrassed about sharing your dermatillomania struggles! I’ve been curious for an update! You sharing your experiences is the only reason I know what dermatillomania is and was able to get my diagnosis and start treatment in December! I struggle to find people to relate to but I’m always comforted in a way when I even just hear you mention it❤
Colleen! I think Daisy is a reincarnated Hollywood Star and that’s why she is always around when the camera comes out. She’s ready Mr. DeMille.🎭
*Maisy* but I agree.
@@madeleinepitt9602 no no Daisy the cat 😂
Flynn literally looks and acts just like Eric when he’s finished talking about the millipede
Literally spot on. How adorable.
yess the smirk, it’s so cute
The rocks are so beautiful!! That mustard yellow one is stunning!❤❤❤❤
You make me want to visit the California Coast so much to look for some beautiful rocks like yours! Love seeing the rock content!!
TTQ: My twin sister gifted me a rock tumbler on our birthday! I am so excited! I already have buckets of rocks I have collected in the past few months. What is your #1 tip for someone just starting out? Something maybe you did in the beginning you no longer feel necessary to do in the process or something you've learned that you definitely would recommend for someone just learning about rock tumbling? Love from Nova Scotia! (amazing rock hounding here btw, if you're planning a rock hounding trip :)
The rocks are so pretty! I hope your new tumbler works great! The kids are so sweet!! Hope you have a great Memorial Day weekend!!
Can you please do a video of your whole rock collection! You got me into rock tumbling and I’d love to see your collection!! 🤩🫶🏻🪨
Idk if you’ll see this. I’ve tried a few times😅 I have the same issue with skin picking!! Verrrrryyyyy bad. I’ve been having overlay of acrylic being put on my natural nails. And it dulls the nail to a point where the picking is not as satisfying!! My hands finally look normal again😩😩😩 please try this!!
Oh no I am so sorry you forgot to take ur medicine glad you took ur medicine and feeling better happy 🫶🏻🌼🩵💜💙🫶🏻🧡🧡💓🫶🏻🌈
Colleen has such a Beautiful signing voice!! 🥰💜
TTQ: Sense you now have watched the eras tour. If you were to ever do your own tour again, would you change any of it. And if so, what would you change?
I feel the same when I haven’t taken my meds and I’m like why do I feel so out of sorts and I’m like oops oh yeah 😅😂 some of them I know straight away as the withdrawal makes me feel nauseous
TTQ: is maisy still as obsessed with reading as she was before you took a break? We haven’t seen her reading as much
These rocks were GORGEOUS 🤎 and the music was just a perfect match
OMG hahah it finally clicked why you were talking to Rachel like that at the start. "GIVE IT TO ME RACHEL PLEEEEASE". The jesus sighting.. it finally clicked. hilarious!!! lol
Tortilla Talk: do you ever feel stressed with how many rocks come out of the tumblers? I feel like if I tried I'd be too overwhelmed with how many there are
8:10 Trypophobia refers to disgust or fear of a pattern of holes
Like, even when doing good with my dermatillomania, my scars remind me and embarrass me. I love your rock tumbling shirt! I got a second tumbler! 😬 I’m excited to see how the vibrating one does! The kids annd Daisy are adorable as always!
Colleen I went to the beach (the beach to ME is Lake Erie in Cleveland, OH) last night with you in mind! I found 8 pieces of beach glass. My first time searching ever. No rocks that really stick out unfortunately BUT you've given me a new reason to go and I'm looking forward to this summer!!
Oh that blue rock was beautiful. Also how lucky you are to have such beautiful flowers and amazing fruits and vegetables
They also do pick stones too
She thinks buying a rock tumbler is spoiling herself? The same person who flew to Paris to see Taylor live? Just kidding!
So the music at the end has me feeling like we were watching one of the videos during Mr. Rogers Neighborhood.😁. And the rock here, 11:29. Like oh my!! I love the colors. I love rocks and this one is a beauty.
How do you decide what art your going to make your rocks to show us always so satisfying ❤
The twins are both going to be heart-breakers when they grow up.
I changed my diet -- no more sugar and eat mostly whole food, low carb. It has totally healed my picking disorder and put my ADHD into remission. As long as I stay on track with my diet, it doesn't come back.
Beautiful rocks that you were showing at the end! ❤
Thank you so much for showing us the rocks, I really especially appreciate it right now since you’re feeling self-conscious about your fingers. I wish I could take that embarrassment away from you… There’s no shame in trying to be healthy.
Totally get what you are saying about trick and dermatilamania(sp?) I have trick and pull manly my eyelashes. It’s my biggest insecurity. Obviously people see it and notice it and makes it worse. I feel literally crazy. 🤦🏻♀️😬
You should make a tutorial video for the whole process of tumbling rocks!!
I want to start but I have zero patience for reading about it online 😭
OMG! Awesome rock tumbler queen! Love it 🌈🫶🏻🩵💛💞💜🫶🏻
the joy i felt during the rock montage is indescribable.
❤Take care all.
I love your videos so much Colleen, your vlogs feel like I’m listening to a friend on FaceTime and I’m here for it, please never stop vlogging😊❤
Flynn so confident with his answer why they call it a millipede hahaha he’s so cute
So beautiful! Those rocks beam incredible energy of _all_ that has gone into them! xoxo
Don't get me wrong, i'll watch whatever you post and love every second of it, 💜 but just thought I'd share some video ideas 😊
Day in life of your work (editing, how long it takes you, work snacks, etc)
Clean with me (I watch these videos of other youtubers when I clean my disastrous house lol) - your most/least favourite chore
Show more dinners!
Online shopping timelapse lol - your favourite places to shop and favourite things to buy (even just cleaning supplies, snacks, kid supplies w.e)
Love this 💜💛
Sorry for your struggles. I get so mad when people ask you about your disorder, it is none of their business it is so rude. I grew up in squalor, I cannot stand wearing wrinkled or 'dirty' clothes, I am able to manage, but I will always struggle with that.
Is Flynn's hair getting darker? Is this a thing with kids who are born with blonde hair?
That turquoise/teal rock is GORGEOUS omg 😍
TTQ: do you still stay in touch with the other actors from haters back off?
Hi internet friends! Today I forgot to take my meds and felt all out of sorts. My sister Rachel came over and we looked at my rocks, my offspring jumped off the furniture, and I got myself a new present for rock tumbling!

Wesley looks sooooo much like Parker!

Edit to add a TTQ:
What activities do you do with the kids or family in honor of Memorial Day?
Tortilla talk question: wheres gus? You may have already answered this question but i firget things very easily. Thanks for the vids colleen. Love from the uk❤
I have a horrible memory too. She actually addressed it a few videos ago. She said Gus is there fine and happy. He is shy and doesn't like to be around as much as our vlogging queen Daisy May.💛💜
TTQ: Have you ever gathered rocks from the creek and tumbled them?
Aww gonna such a good brother when he was jumping with the twins
Flynn looks like such a big boy 😢
Do you think those fidget toy thingies would help me stop picking my nails and skin around?
I love you Colleen!
I love Gorgeous Rachel!
A 3 year old being able to count to 9 is very impressive! I didn't know numbers until I was in school.
It's Rachel ❤
i LOVE when you assemble your polished rocks into a color coordinated spiral!! 🤩🌈🪨
Miss Maisy is a natural comedian ❤
Those are some cool freaking rocks
TTQ: i am very intrigued by erik getting stranded please tell us about it 😂
