Colleen, your grandpa is very proud. With what you just taught me, I’m very grateful for your grandpa too. I will apply that to my life. Thank you and thank him 🙏🏼♥️
Parker has been Fabulous since he was 2 years old. It's great that he doesn't hesitated to be his authentic self. His gymnastics skills have become absolutely incredible. Sending love from Los Angeles 💜💛
my mom just passed and her funeral is this sunday. she was a HUGE musical theater fan and i think this might be a sign that that song needs to be added to her funeral. thank you colleen and thank you colleen’s grandpa
We never stop learning, Colleen. As much as you are teaching those little ones, I am sure that they are teaching you so much more. And the memories of our teachers- your Grandpa- remind us that we are all always little ones. His lesson was strong for you. Thank you and God bless. No matter the words we use to describe it, we learn- we continue to learn. Everything’s going my way 😊
Tortilla talk: Would you ever be down into questioning Flynn about what his favorite thing to do? What his dream job? What his favorite animal is? Things like that. Love you so much! ❤
Tortilla talk question: how did your survive the first year of life with twins? I'm currently 14 weeks pregnant with di di twins and I'm so worried that I won't be able to give them all of the attention that they deserve. My first born (a boy named Callum) is 15 months as of today and I'm also so worried that he will feel like he's losing his mommy in some ways and I desperately want to make sure that he feels as loved as he has while he has been my only baby. Sorry, I'm rambling but any advice that you have would be so appreciated. I have always been someone with a lot of anxiety and never has my imposter syndrome been as strong as finding out that I'm pregnant with twins. just hope that I can be good enough to be their mom.
wow, the song your grandpa would sing brought me to tears, yes I believe something simple like this in the morning really changes your perspective, thank you for sharing
I think you’re right on with the way we think about things. We can wake up and say, “ugh I hate this. I have to go to work.” Or say, “I’m lucky to have a job to go to.” We can enjoy dancing in the rain or cry about the sun not being out. The other thing though is called the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon: you talk about something and notice it everywhere.
That was my first time ever hearing that song you sang at the end. I've heard of the musical before, but haven't heard anything from it or seen it. That song was so beautiful, it made me cry. I love that your grandfather listened to that every morning! Thank you for sharing that! I don't watch or listen to a lot of musical theater, but I find myself enjoying a lot of the music through you. At the end of your videos, it would be so cool for you to play and sing songs from theater that you know and love that others maybe don't know!
Thank you for sharing that about your grandpa. Oklahoma makes me think of my grandma. When I was 7 we took her to see that musical for her birthday. We rented a limo and everything to make it special. Little did we know that would be her last one, so I'm glad it was special. Crazy to think that was 17 years ago
My grandma had a weeping willow tree in her yard and that was always my favorite tree growing up and I still love them so much to me I never saw a weeping tree I saw a beautiful tree with long flowing branches that no other trees had it was so special to me and I really loved it so much I guess we all interpreted things differently….see just the mention of that tree caused a flood of memories! Manifesting I believe exactly what you said where your mind goes your spirit will follow…think positive and positivity flows back to you …very difficult to do sometimes because depression is a bully who likes to tell you NO but if you give positivity a chance she will more than give you happiness in return!! Parker is phenomenal!! Wow! Glad Maisy came around…I was exactly like her shy until I felt secure then there was no stopping me😂
I love Parker’s reaction to your gift. It is priceless. I love your videos Colleen. Keep up the amazing vlog work. TTQ: Hi Colleen, do you have any reccomendations on other ways to tumble rocks besides using a professional rock tumbler? I love collecting rocks, and would like to start doing what you do, but I still love with my parents and I know my mom would never let me get a rock tumbler because pf the space and money, so I did not know if you had any other ideas or suggesstions on this particular dilema. Love your videos.
Maisy saying she was scared but she did it was SO CUTE And you playing the song at the end was beautiful even if manifesting doesn’t work you’re still putting positive energy into your life and the world
Colleen!! TTQ: can you do a chicken coop tour or do a video “caring for your chickens”? Whenever I see you film your coop it looks amazing and I wanna know more!!
That was a beautiful story about your Granddad! I always sing that song in a silly way, but you’re right about it just putting one in a positive path! ❤️
You hit the nail on the head! It's all about changing the narrative in your head and rewiring yourself to be more optimistic. It's honestly something you really have to work towards every single day. I hope this realization helps ease the hurt and self-doubt you carry inside. You're truly amazing, and you've helped me with my personal struggles, especially during my pregnancy. I hope that you'll see the beautiful,caring, talented person that your family, friends, and fans see in you.
Just wanted to say watching and listening to you play this on piano makes me want to start playing again. I was a piano teacher before getting pregnant and just kind of lost that part of me post partum... It's crazy to think I haven't touched a piano in 10 months. Seeing you sing this kind of sparked that need to play again so thank you 🩷 I hope my daughter loves and finds comfort in music the way I do. It can speak for you even when you can't find the words during the hardest times life brings.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful voice, your tender thoughts about your grandfather, and his wisdom about life! The negative will always find a way in, we don't ever need to invite it, and the more love and beauty we fill our lives with, the better!
my grandma recently pass and my grandpa is having a really tough time, i feel so hopeless not knowing how to help him but maybe just reminding him that we got another beautiful morning will help, thank you ♡
The outro is bringing back memories of watching this musical at our local high school as a small child and remembering all the songs and growing my love for theatre ❤
Aww. My Heart!! Colleen, Flynn looked like he was “flying” in mamas hoodie. Y’all looked like a mama, & son Airplane team. The simplest things that brings priceless joy to a child’s beautiful face!! So cute!! 🥰🤣💜
I agree with manifesting things I have struggled with anxiety and depression and I find the more you dwell on it the worst it is. The more you try to focus on the positive and distract yourself with happy things the better I feel
TTQ: talking about manifestation and when you want things you see this I feel this so hard right now. I know you didn’t have issues getting pregnant with Flynn but I know you had a hard time after your miscarriage. Did you ever struggle with seeing people around you be pregnant and want that so bad for yourself? My hubby and I are going on over a year of trying for our first baby and I feel like everyone in existence is pregnant but not me. And it’s so hard to get negative test month after month.. And there is nothing I want more then to have a family.. I didn’t know if you ever went through that too and ways that helped you cope? I appreciate you always being so vulnerable in your videos (and yes even the crying because I cry just as much as you I promise 😂) and I know you talked about this time in your life before but talking about manifesting just made me think about it. Love you ❤️❤️
Got a screenshot clip of you holding the rocks up that one time in the vlog video and send it to my dad. Said you were someone I follow who loves rocks and was curious about what kind they were. My dad was pretty sure they were a sodalite stone so yeah. They look really pretty too. He said the sodalight stone is a really great stone.
That was a beautiful performance of that song! It made me cry 😭 TTQ: what Taylor Swift songs do you listen to when you’re feeling different emotions? Like sad, happy, or scared. I love you and your vlogs! Keep up the good work❤
Your song at the end had me in tears. After a really rough few months, I’m going to do my best to manifest happiness and look for the good things in the days to come ❤ Thank you!
I absolutely love it when you give us the gift of song. Your voice is gorgeous Colleen. It’s definitely a gift! I am very grateful every video that you post with moments of you singing or you and Eric jammin out
I dont like manifestations / positive thinking. I have chronic mental illness and i find being real and true to myself and allowing myself to feel and then working on doing comforting/ emotional state changing things. If i feel like curling up and crying i listen to that, but make sure i do some 'opposite actions' to try to move on the feeling like visiting a friend
Colleen, a while ago you and your family sang that song at what I think was a Christmas party, and I have felt the same way about that song ever since because of YOU. Thank you for being a light in my life and a strong role model.
Where attention goes energy flows. Because everything in the universe is made of energy. This is why having a positive mindset is so beneficial towards achieving your goals. You believe you can have the thing so you take action to get the thing. ❤
Colleeen did you go to chalk festival on Sunday!? My husband and I did then we went sea glass hunting for the first time at arroyo burro and butterfly beach. We loved it and I never would’ve thought about doing it if it wasn’t for you, so thank you.
"Oh What A Beautiful Morning" ....Watching this totally unexpected performance just now, was the highlight of my holiday weekend. Thanks, Colleen. I have watched the film version of Oklahoma! many times. That song is on my mind a lot. I tend to sing it in my car. Sometimes if the weather is difficult (Ohio) I am singing it more defiantly. In the hour before the sun rises, and I'm headed out, getting into the car, backing out of the driveway, nothing else seems to be the ideal lyric. When there are traffic problems, I am usually singing the jazz standard "Detour Ahead". Anyway. Thanks for your performance, and the interesting story that introduced it. And please return to the stage soon.
My lovey used to sing all the time you would say something and it would drag a memory and she would just burst out into song. And growing up it was so embarrassing! She was an antique dealer and now that's what I'm doing for a living and the other day I was setting up my stuff for show and oh what a beautiful morning came on I just started crying I felt like she was there
I’m currently listening to the audio book manifest by Roxie Nafousi so it’s funny you mention manifestation today as I’ve loved following your journey since I was pregnant the same time as you 🥲 highly recommend the book as it really explains how manifesting completely makes sense and is about stepping into our most authentic power 💕
TTQ: Are there any shows/movies Erik is in coming out any time soon? Loved him in Mistresses and excited to see what he does next. You two seem so well matched and truly like you dont just love each other but actually like each other, which is a big deal after many years and babies! Hoping to see you touring again in the future. I'm in Australia so I probably won't even get to see you but I know how happy it makes you!
Colleen your Grandpa sounds a lot like my dad. He’s no longer with us but I can still hear him singing every day. Us 5 daughters used to perform with him. We would put on shows for charity. Oh the memories. As for Oklahoma, search TH-cam for BBC Oklahoma Proms. It’s the best performance I’ve seen of Oklahoma. It stars Nathaniel (Nate)Hackmann a current Broadway star. He just played Biff in Back to the Future. You’d love it. So would your grandpa. ❤
TTQ: what is your guys’ go-to meal during the busy week? Do you have a vegetarian recipe that you like? I know you’re not a vegetarian but I figured I’d ask!
Can we just talk about proud we are of the twins! From the NICU to now forming sentences & having conversations. You & carrot should be proud, y’all are amazing parents. Love watching the kids grow & learn!
I think you should also sing that song every morning, the children will almost certainly join in with you and can sing it for you on the days when it’s hard for you to do it.😘
More over than the word manifestation, it's about ensuring the words you speak to your inside self and to the outside world have a massive impact. If you talk negatively about yourself and things around you, that's what you'll attract and same with positives. This doesn't mean everything will be positive but starting your day off with a thankful and positive thought can change your whole day and mindset. Our brains are so very powerful ❤
Have you ever done family history? (Family Search, Ancestry, etc.) I think you'd do amazing with sharing important moments for future family members to easily find through those websites!
No. Parker can not be that grown already! Lol. I remember when he was born! Lol. I refuse to accept that I'm that old now. Lol. He definitely has talent; I can't even do a cartwheel. Happy Birthday Parker!❤....btw, those blue rocks are gorgeous!! Wow!
I loved seeing you and the kids at Parker's birthday party. I miss when you used to have your nephews and niece over at your house. I have been wondering if the kids get to see their cousins very often. I would love to see the twins playing with Teddy since they're so close in age.
It's very true though. If u think positive it helps you be positive. If you say all the time you are depressed it will just continue. First hand experience. Listining to your song made me tear up
You truly are such a beautiful person. Thank you so much for sharing this song and story of your grandfather. I can feel the love you have for him and the love I know he has for you. What an amazing lesson that you could share with all of us.
mid 1980s i was just out of college and working at a bank, i took a seminar from a man named Zig Ziglar. he had written a book "The Power of Positive Thinking". sounds cliché, but i recommend it. he took me from being a person that always looked for "all the angles", ie: worse case scenarios so i was "prepared", to someone who was more positive and less cynical. i didn't think of myself as cynical but....when customers would ask me how i was , i was honest and answer "i'm tired"..by the end of the day i was soooo very tired. i changed to "i'm good and i'm getting better"...ya know what? it worked..i was not as tired at the end of the day. Later when my acting career took off (power of positive thinking?), i did a film called What the Bleep Do We Know and my character (a bridesmaid) showed the principle of negativity attracting negativity, the "poor me", the "bad things always happen to me" person and how to change it. that film shows the affects of negativity and positivity on ice crystals. your Grandfather was onto something...it's a Legit thing
Parker’s gymnastics skills are very impressive!
Colleen, your grandpa is very proud. With what you just taught me, I’m very grateful for your grandpa too. I will apply that to my life. Thank you and thank him 🙏🏼♥️
Parker has been Fabulous since he was 2 years old. It's great that he doesn't hesitated to be his authentic self. His gymnastics skills have become absolutely incredible. Sending love from Los Angeles 💜💛

OKLAHOMA
YES speaking positively and singing changes your whole mood

Tears in my eyes singing along with you!!! What a great way to think of manifesting ❤
What a beautiful sentiment! My mom used to sing that song when I was little, positivity is powerful!
I love Parker’s reaction to your gift. It is priceless. I love your videos Colleen. Keep up the amazing vlog work.

Parker’s energy is always unmatched
TTQ: do you get to pick the ad placement in your videos? i feel like sometimes the ads are perfectly placed haha love you and your videos so much!
I sit here listening to your profoundly beautiful and moving rendition of a song from my childhood also, and I AM a smiling, weeping willow.
Love watching Parker ( happy birthday ). The twins holding hands ..adorable 🩷🩵
Maisy saying she was scared but she did it was SO CUTE
And you playing the song at the end was beautiful even if manifesting doesn’t work you’re still putting positive energy into your life and the world
That was really beautiful! Thank you for sharing, Colleen!
Incredible Chuck festival and all that artwork is gorgeous! Love it! 🫶🏻🩵🫶🏻💛🧡
Colleen!! TTQ: can you do a chicken coop tour or do a video “caring for your chickens”? Whenever I see you film your coop it looks amazing and I wanna know more!!
Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah is a song I would sing all the time as a kid with my grandfather.
That was a beautiful story about your Granddad! I always sing that song in a silly way, but you’re right about it just putting one in a positive path! ❤️
Even if manifestations don’t work, you’re still putting positive energy into the universe

Absolutely manifest your life, what you say becomes your reality! Positively forward. Love your mind! ❤❤
Happy memorial weekend Colleen hope and are having a great time 🩵🫶🏻🩵🧡

Parker is the best, i loved his reaction to the presents! So sweet
Maisy’s evening talks are my faaaavorite! She’s so good at expressing herself!
The outro is bringing back memories of watching this musical at our local high school as a small child and remembering all the songs and growing my love for theatre ❤
Aww. My Heart!! Colleen, Flynn looked like he was “flying” in mamas hoodie. Y’all looked like a mama, & son Airplane team. The simplest things that brings priceless joy to a child’s beautiful face!! So cute!! 🥰🤣💜
Literally gave me goosebumps at the end......beautiful
happy birthday Parker..WOW i see a gold medal in your future..
maisy speaks so well, they are growing so fast
I totally understand what you mean by when you are focused on something, you notice it more. The same thing happens to me.
I agree with manifesting things I have struggled with anxiety and depression and I find the more you dwell on it the worst it is. The more you try to focus on the positive and distract yourself with happy things the better I feel
The chalk paint drawings were absolute 🔥!! 💜

Really pretty rendition Colleen thank you
I could listen to you signing and playing piano for hours! So beautiful and relaxing!💜
I dont like manifestations / positive thinking. I have chronic mental illness and i find being real and true to myself and allowing myself to feel and then working on doing comforting/ emotional state changing things. If i feel like curling up and crying i listen to that, but make sure i do some 'opposite actions' to try to move on the feeling like visiting a friend
Maisy talking about her fear and doing it anyways oh my god she’s so cute and smart! I’m so proud of you too Maisy
Colleen, a while ago you and your family sang that song at what I think was a Christmas party, and I have felt the same way about that song ever since because of YOU. Thank you for being a light in my life and a strong role model.
It definitely works ❤️
Wow! Where does the time go? Parker is all grown up!
seeing parker doing cartwheels to actual flips is insane
Thank you for sharing that moment.
It is great to see you always Colleen, good morning, how was your Memorial Day? Love exercising. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Parker. I manifest all the time, hugs.
Where attention goes energy flows. Because everything in the universe is made of energy. This is why having a positive mindset is so beneficial towards achieving your goals. You believe you can have the thing so you take action to get the thing. ❤
Parker' s natural gymnast!!
Colleeen did you go to chalk festival on Sunday!? My husband and I did then we went sea glass hunting for the first time at arroyo burro and butterfly beach. We loved it and I never would’ve thought about doing it if it wasn’t for you, so thank you.
"Oh What A Beautiful Morning" ....Watching this totally unexpected performance just now, was the highlight of my holiday weekend. Thanks, Colleen.
I have watched the film version of Oklahoma! many times.
That song is on my mind a lot. I tend to sing it in my car. Sometimes if the weather is difficult (Ohio) I am singing it more defiantly. In the hour before the sun rises, and I'm headed out, getting into the car, backing out of the driveway, nothing else seems to be the ideal lyric.
When there are traffic problems, I am usually singing the jazz standard "Detour Ahead".
Anyway. Thanks for your performance, and the interesting story that introduced it. And please return to the stage soon.
Parker is so sweet and talented! 🤍
OMG Parker is the cutest! ❤️ Happy birthday buddy 🎂
My lovey used to sing all the time you would say something and it would drag a memory and she would just burst out into song. And growing up it was so embarrassing! She was an antique dealer and now that's what I'm doing for a living and the other day I was setting up my stuff for show and oh what a beautiful morning came on I just started crying I felt like she was there
The twins holding hands was just too stinking cute ❤
I’m currently listening to the audio book manifest by Roxie Nafousi so it’s funny you mention manifestation today as I’ve loved following your journey since I was pregnant the same time as you 🥲 highly recommend the book as it really explains how manifesting completely makes sense and is about stepping into our most authentic power 💕
honestly really loved the vlog
TTQ: Are there any shows/movies Erik is in coming out any time soon? Loved him in Mistresses and excited to see what he does next. You two seem so well matched and truly like you dont just love each other but actually like each other, which is a big deal after many years and babies!
Hoping to see you touring again in the future. I'm in Australia so I probably won't even get to see you but I know how happy it makes you!
TTQ: are you ever going to post on Poshmark again I remember you used to post on there? Love our videos!
Happy Birthdayy to Parker! They're so talented at gymnastics!
TT question: did you trade for any friendship bracelets at the Eras Tour concert? Can you show them?
Happy belated birthday to Parker
Colleen your Grandpa sounds a lot like my dad. He’s no longer with us but I can still hear him singing every day. Us 5 daughters used to perform with him. We would put on shows for charity. Oh the memories. As for Oklahoma, search TH-cam for BBC Oklahoma Proms. It’s the best performance I’ve seen of Oklahoma. It stars Nathaniel (Nate)Hackmann a current Broadway star. He just played Biff in Back to the Future. You’d love it. So would your grandpa. ❤
Loved Parker since he was small!!😩 happy birthday!!🫶🏻🥳
TTQ: did you dye your hair?? It looks so much darker in the vlog. Maybe it’s just the lighting!
I could listen to you sing musical theater ALL DAY!!!
TTQ: do you have plans to travel as a family of 5? Love your vlogs x
TTQ: what is your guys’ go-to meal during the busy week? Do you have a vegetarian recipe that you like? I know you’re not a vegetarian but I figured I’d ask!
Can we just talk about proud we are of the twins! From the NICU to now forming sentences & having conversations. You & carrot should be proud, y’all are amazing parents. Love watching the kids grow & learn!
Your kids are so adorable! You & Eric are doing amazing at the parenting job. They’re all so smart & happy❤
I think you should also sing that song every morning, the children will almost certainly join in with you and can sing it for you on the days when it’s hard for you to do it.😘
I have mentioned in their vlogs that Parker would do amazing in shaolin kung fu.
Sometimes I forget how much I love parker, his reactions to his presents was everything😂❤
"I scared but I did it" - Maisy's bravery inspires me🌷

That was the most beautiful i’ve ever heard you play or sing! 😊
Have you ever done family history? (Family Search, Ancestry, etc.) I think you'd do amazing with sharing important moments for future family members to easily find through those websites!
No. Parker can not be that grown already! Lol. I remember when he was born! Lol. I refuse to accept that I'm that old now. Lol. He definitely has talent; I can't even do a cartwheel. Happy Birthday Parker!❤....btw, those blue rocks are gorgeous!! Wow!

mid 1980s i was just out of college and working at a bank, i took a seminar from a man named Zig Ziglar. he had written a book "The Power of Positive Thinking". sounds cliché, but i recommend it. he took me from being a person that always looked for "all the angles", ie: worse case scenarios so i was "prepared", to someone who was more positive and less cynical. i didn't think of myself as cynical but....when customers would ask me how i was , i was honest and answer "i'm tired"..by the end of the day i was soooo very tired. i changed to "i'm good and i'm getting better"...ya know what? it worked..i was not as tired at the end of the day. Later when my acting career took off (power of positive thinking?), i did a film called What the Bleep Do We Know and my character (a bridesmaid) showed the principle of negativity attracting negativity, the "poor me", the "bad things always happen to me" person and how to change it. that film shows the affects of negativity and positivity on ice crystals. your Grandfather was onto something...it's a Legit thing
