TTQ: Have you considered getting Animal Crossing New Horizons for Flynn? I think he’d be obsessed with all the bugs, fish and sea creatures you can catch!
I loved the costumes!! 🐶 So cute!! This is definitely my fav time of year too with Halloween, fire work/ bonfire nights (uk) you guys have America thanks giving (I wish we had thanks giving!) and then Christmas it’s all so exciting and festive I love it so much 🍁🎃🎇🎆🎅🎄
A kid who I used to nanny for had the WILDEST names ever for their toys. My favorite was a baby doll- which they had named "Beef". I'm wondering if Maisie meant to name that cat toy "Feather?" but then was like "Eh, Feather, Father Potato, Potahto"
colleen!!! this is the sweetest thing ever omg! tortilla talk question, would you ever make another psychic video with teri? she always makes such reassuring and amazing points about your life id find it so interesting to see what she would say since so much has changed in your life, i think it’d be so interesting even if it were just a section a small section of a vlog. love you always!
TTQ: Hey Colleen, I've heard lots of parents that have little kids say that you learn so much about life from your kids. Have you had any moments where you feel your kids have taught you important life lessons? Been watching for 11 years, supporting you always!! XX
COLLEEN I had not dressed up for Halloween in years but on Saturday I had a party to attend and I wore the exact same Cruella costume!!♥️ I watch every vlog, so knowing we came up with the same costume and wore them at the same time made me feel so connected to you🥰 love you girl
The Daisy/Maisy mixup made me lol because I am constantly doing this in our home. I have a daughter named Stephanie, a son named Sam, a Havanese dog named Sadie and a Russian blue cat named Sasha. Any four of them can be called any combination by me, mama bear. 😂 I love all of the relative moments I share with you!! 💛✌🏻💛
8:54 I don’t know if Anyone caught it but Colleen said Daisy instead of Maisy’s name and I just giggled cause you sound like my mom trying to say one of her three girls names and saying every name except for the one daughter she is talking to lol!
Can I just say how happy I am to see your vlog posted! I am so sick of political adds and I’m so happy to watch something normal. Well kind of normal, ok who are we kidding, something entertaining. 😆 Seriously Colleen, I have been following since you were preggers with Flynn and I feel like part of the family. I love you and love seeing your family grow. ❤️🥰😘
I am usually such a stickler for Christmas staring after thanksgiving (and then I go big dont you worry), but see Colleen wear the Christmas sweatshirt was just the vibes I needed today! Merry almost Christmas szn
Hi Colleen, since you mentioned that you don’t like taking breaks from vlogging, why don’t you start a challenge where you try to upload a vlog everyday for a week even on the podcast day which means that you’ll have to vlog and edit everyday and see how it goes, love youu❤️❤️
TTQ : Will you ever encourage the kids to learn any musical instruments? Seeing Flynns face whilst you were playing the piano was so cute! He was mesmerised! You’re in incredible and would love to hear more piano from you! ❤️
The leaf printing works so well with ink pads! I admit it’s so much prettier with the markers but at least then you wouldn’t get as much on your hands!
TTQ: could you show the wall behind your couch with all the framed footprints? I really like when you share how you decorate your families creations! Thank you!!
You could hire a seamstress to make new clothes out of the old fabrics of your old dresses for your kids or yourself! Or I bet you could sew something cute yourself if you wanted to.
I relate to the bug thing so much whenever there is a fly I run away screaming I get really freaked out 😂 I think it’s cuz I saw a video of what they look like microscopic
We are going to start decorating for Christmas this week. I think Erik would not be thrilled if you started decorating in October. Oh, you could put your rainbow tree up in your office.
You could make a memory blanket or memory teddy bears for each of the kids with those clothes, then use squares from the kids clothes to add to the blankets.
What about putting the leaf under paper and get a crayon (without paper on the crayon) and flip sideways and rub the leaf while under the paper with the crayon. It imprints the leaf! ♥️
TTQ: I shared so much and deleted it! What are your favorite comments to read? I’m always afraid I’m treating the comments too much like an actual conversation with you. :/
Adorable family costume! My kids are Winnie the pooh and piglet and I am Tigger this year. We all have hooded onsies!!! I got. Bag that's says hunny for our candy! Can't wait to trick or treat with them for the first time!!!
Hi there! So my family and I went to the Aquarium here in Denver. They, in fact, do have a cuttlefish on display! I commented on the Rekax from last week. I couldn't attach the photo I took. But yes its a flamboyant cuttlefish. It's located in the tropical area, next to the parrots. 😁 hope this helps.
TTQ: (not really a question) Please look up “cuttlefish chips” so you can see these snack things that are cuttlefish shaped and maybe even taste like cuttlefish?? I found them at an asian market when I visited California last week. Thought of you immediately. Not quite sure if Flynn would find them intriguing or disturbing to eat cuttlefish. lol
Ttq: have you ever had the urge to phone it in and be Miranda for Halloween and Erik - Patrick. Lol I could seee why you wouldn’t want to. But I also think it would be hilarious at the Sam time.
That is very cool - the leaf print. It never occurred to me to try to use markers - I'm going to try it! Thanks for the idea! PS a) Goodbye blank wall b) Those beautiful dresses your mother made you and hearing about the process of you getting to choose fabric, buttons, thread, etc - that's so incredibly moving. Each dress, even without my having a single memory attached to it, just seems full of love and care. How truly wonderful - thank you for sharing your treasures with us... 💛
Have you ever read "The Hundred Dresses" by Eleanor Estes. I LOVED that book growing up because I LOVED dresses! I was in 4th grade when they changed the dress code in school that girls no longer HAD to wear dresses, so I got the left over dresses from most of my classmates as I was still the size of an average kindergartner in 4th grade, so I would eventually grow into all of them. I WAS SO HAPPY!!! I felt like I had 100 dresses (maybe really only about 30) but we were really poor and I didn't have many dresses to begin with. It was my dream come true and I will never forget it.
TTQ: First off, I started rewatching Criminal Minds the other day and the first episode I chose is the one where Erik plays a serial killer!! So funny to see him play a serious character when I know him from your vlogs 🥰🥰 my actual question though is; how is your dermatilamania? How are you doing generally? Are you still having therapy? PS. Love you always, I've been watching for about 13 years now I think!! ❤❤❤
Wow!!! Did you hear Wesley carrying that beautiful tune when you were playing piano? He was singing harmony. I had to go back and watch it a few times to see who was singing and realized it was him. 😊❤
Tortilla talk question: I saw you (and Miranda) in Houston two years ago! I made a cockroach for Flynn and the moose twins for the twins. Did they hold up? I hope they enjoyed them.
TTQ: are Daisy and Gus friends? Do they ever hang out or cuddle together? We don’t really see them together in the vlogs, and I’m curious because we just adopted a second cat and I’m really hoping he will be friends with our other cat! Ps. I’ve been watching the vlogs for years now (and hardly ever comment, I’m sorry) and I just love that we’ve gotten to see your little family growing and thriving!!
I know it'd be really time-consuming and probably stressful, but I'd like to see you take Maisy on the same trip to the fabric store and let her pick how she wants a dress made too. Or if your mom still sews, maybe her and Maisy can do the trip together. ❤
Kids definitely do offer brutal honesty.. when my son was about 2 he sees me getting dressed and says ‘boobies!’ Then squeezes me.. on my back! 🙈😂 I’m not a slim gal and he reminded me that day..
TTQ: Have you ever had a song stuck in your head? If so what was the song? I have had a Taylor Swift song stuck in my head for the last few days (All too well,(10 minute version) Taylor's Version).
Happy Halloween, and the cat blended in sith the rug. My 2 year great grandson is a pupp🎉y a lot right now. We have a 3 year old gir, 4 yr G , 2 6 yr b &g and 13 yr boy. Our littlest generation.
The fact that you get to pass those beautiful hand made dresses down to Maisy is just more proof that you manifested the twins 😂 the psychic say two all boy boys but the mary kate ashley influence was strong!!
My workplace is doing 101 dalmations for Halloween. I'm a nurse at the hospital, so the floor nurses in my unit have the polka dot tops and ears, our charge nurses are going to be cruella and ward clerk the dog catcher
Ha! Kids are so funny. They just call it like they see it. One time my son said to my cousin, (a female) "why do you have a mustache?" I was mortified! Lol
I had so much fun going through my childhood dresses! And I can't believe how well this costume idea worked out last minute! It just makes me even more excited for the kids to experience ACTUAL trick or treating on Halloween!

I can’t believe your mom made all those. They are seriously so cute
I so wanted to see Erik's reaction. I bet Masey is going to love those dresses.
TTQ: Have you considered getting Animal Crossing New Horizons for Flynn? I think he’d be obsessed with all the bugs, fish and sea creatures you can catch!
Mai’s dancing in her ballerina outfit , Wesley on mic , Flynn in background , mom on piano ,, such a moment, I loved this
I loved the costumes!! 🐶 So cute!! This is definitely my fav time of year too with Halloween, fire work/ bonfire nights (uk) you guys have America thanks giving (I wish we had thanks giving!) and then Christmas it’s all so exciting and festive I love it so much 🍁🎃🎇🎆🎅🎄
Cracking tf up over Father princess kitty 💀
Wow, those dresses your mom made are amazing! I hope you will save them for Maisey to wear. The cat dresses are so cool!!!!

I love watching colleen vlogs
Who else ❤
👇💯💯💯🩷
You've inherited your Mums dress making skills. What a talent. My Mum did too ❤❤
Stamp pads are great for leaf printing. You can also put the lead upside down under the paper and do a crayon rubbing!
Your mom is so talented like you 🫶🏼
O i was so excited for the vlog today especially to see you're childhood dresses ❤❤❤ much love
I can’t believe the twins are almost 3! That’s how old Flynn was when you had them! Love you Colleen

Loved the dalmatian idea!
Hello I love the 101 dalmatian outfits. So cute ❤ an omg does Daisy blend in with ur rug she is a chameleon in disguise ❤😂.
Awesome and Funny! What was Erik's reaction to your dress? Thank you. 😁
Girl don’t be mentioning a project and then leave us hanging!!! 😂❤
You all looked great! ❤❤❤❤❤
Your Mom is so talented. The dresses were all different and so cute 🥰. 101 Dalmatians was a great idea!!💡 ❤❤❤
I loved the Daisy footage in this video. Sweet angellllll. The cat lady in me just can’t help but love that content! ❤
8:54 I don’t know if Anyone caught it but Colleen said Daisy instead of Maisy’s name and I just giggled cause you sound like my mom trying to say one of her three girls names and saying every name except for the one daughter she is talking to lol!
Yay!! I love you and your crafting!!
Can I just say how happy I am to see your vlog posted! I am so sick of political adds and I’m so happy to watch something normal.

Tortilla Talk Qw: Your eyebrows look so good!!! Are you doing them yourself?
Hi Colleen, since you mentioned that you don’t like taking breaks from vlogging, why don’t you start a challenge where you try to upload a vlog everyday for a week even on the podcast day which means that you’ll have to vlog and edit everyday and see how it goes, love youu❤️❤️

TTQ: could you show the wall behind your couch with all the framed footprints? I really like when you share how you decorate your families creations! Thank you!!
For the leaf prints, you could do that thing where you lay a piece of paper over them and scribble on the paper 🍃🍂🍁
You could hire a seamstress to make new clothes out of the old fabrics of your old dresses for your kids or yourself! Or I bet you could sew something cute yourself if you wanted to.
You look so happy with your cat clothes. Such genuine feelings. Love it.
I relate to the bug thing so much whenever there is a fly I run away screaming I get really freaked out 😂 I think it’s cuz I saw a video of what they look like microscopic
We are going to start decorating for Christmas this week. I think Erik would not be thrilled if you started decorating in October. Oh, you could put your rainbow tree up in your office.
If you use crayons and place the leaf under the paper you can trace out the shape of the leaf 🍁 much less messy! ❤
You could make a memory blanket or memory teddy bears for each of the kids with those clothes, then use squares from the kids clothes to add to the blankets.
What about putting the leaf under paper and get a crayon (without paper on the crayon) and flip sideways and rub the leaf while under the paper with the crayon. It imprints the leaf! ♥️
I love the dresses , 6:10 such a cute lil doggy lol
TTQ: I shared so much and deleted it! What are your favorite comments to read? I’m always afraid I’m treating the comments too much like an actual conversation with you. :/
LOVEEE the cruella costume!!!
Adorable family costume! My kids are Winnie the pooh and piglet and I am Tigger this year. We all have hooded onsies!!! I got. Bag that's says hunny for our candy! Can't wait to trick or treat with them for the first time!!!
Colleen was always a cat girlie!😂
Hi there! So my family and I went to the Aquarium here in Denver. They, in fact, do have a cuttlefish on display! I commented on the Rekax from last week. I couldn't attach the photo I took. But yes its a flamboyant cuttlefish. It's located in the tropical area, next to the parrots. 😁 hope this helps.
Taking the leaf under white paper and coloring with crayons is so neat as well and no mess.
TTQ: (not really a question)
Please look up “cuttlefish chips” so you can see these snack things that are cuttlefish shaped and maybe even taste like cuttlefish?? I found them at an asian market when I visited California last week. Thought of you immediately. Not quite sure if Flynn would find them intriguing or disturbing to eat cuttlefish. lol
TTQ - how do you dispose of the rock tumbling grit when you change the rock tumbler? I’m fairly new and don’t thing I have the hang of it yet 😅
Ttq: have you ever had the urge to phone it in and be Miranda for Halloween and Erik - Patrick. Lol I could seee why you wouldn’t want to. But I also think it would be hilarious at the Sam time.
TTQ: Do you remember when Flynn called outer space “spouter space” ?!? So cute
Flynn’s face when u played piano was adorable
That is very cool - the leaf print. It never occurred to me to try to use markers - I'm going to try it! Thanks for the idea!
PS a) Goodbye blank wall b) Those beautiful dresses your mother made you and hearing about the process of you getting to choose fabric, buttons, thread, etc - that's so incredibly moving. Each dress, even without my having a single memory attached to it, just seems full of love and care. How truly wonderful - thank you for sharing your treasures with us... 💛
Tortilla talk question: how many photos and videos do you have on your phone! It must be a lot
Freaking bugs!! Makes everyone crazy 😂😂😂😂

2:04 the concentration on Flynn’s face watching you play piano 😍
I cannot believe they are going to be three!!!!! 😅
Im upsessed with the dresses your mkm made they are SO CUTE
TTQ: When Daisy is on your white rug. Did you ever step on her?
The costumes were all so cute.
You make such amazing costumes for you and the kids!
TTQ: First off, I started rewatching Criminal Minds the other day and the first episode I chose is the one where Erik plays a serial killer!! So funny to see him play a serious character when I know him from your vlogs 🥰🥰 my actual question though is; how is your dermatilamania? How are you doing generally? Are you still having therapy?

Wow!!! Did you hear Wesley carrying that beautiful tune when you were playing piano? He was singing harmony. I had to go back and watch it a few times to see who was singing and realized it was him. 😊❤
Your cat is so cute meowing to get your attention
When I was around their age, I had a Snow White plush doll and named it “Peter Pan Robot”, I think she would be good friends swith father
My mom made us bathing suites and she mFe me a formal gown and I used it fory wedding dress.❤❤❤❤
Flynn watching you play the piano my favorite part
Tortilla talk question: I saw you (and Miranda) in Houston two years ago! I made a cockroach for Flynn and the moose twins for the twins. Did they hold up? I hope they enjoyed them.
TTQ: what is the current camera you use to Vlog with? I am always so curious of those behind-the-scenes kind of things.
TTQ: are Daisy and Gus friends? Do they ever hang out or cuddle together? We don’t really see them together in the vlogs, and I’m curious because we just adopted a second cat and I’m really hoping he will be friends with our other cat! Ps.

Babies say the darndest things!! 😊
9:07 with that lipstick on, you look like Miranda again. I love your vlogs Colleen, your family is so adorable. Keep up the amazing work!
"Daisy is so jealous of father"....lol !
Kids definitely do offer brutal honesty.. when my son was about 2 he sees me getting dressed and says ‘boobies!’ Then squeezes me.. on my back! 🙈😂 I’m not a slim gal and he reminded me that day..
That green eye shadow looks unexpectedly amazing on you !!!
Every time you bring up the twins' birthday, I'm always like, "WAIT ALREADY?" then I remember we share the same birthday 🤭
TTQ: can you show us what you're putting on your wall? are you putting anything erik made?
TTQ: Have you ever had a song stuck in your head? If so what was the song? I have had a Taylor Swift song stuck in my head for the last few days (All too well,(10 minute version) Taylor's Version).
Happy Halloween, and the cat blended in sith the rug. My 2 year great grandson is a pupp🎉y a lot right now. We have a 3 year old gir, 4 yr G , 2 6 yr b &g and 13 yr boy. Our littlest generation.

First love your vlogs
03:27 not boring! I love it! Can't wait for Maisy to wear one!
I want a cat with Daisy's spirit! She's SO lovely
TTQ- colleen!!! What do you think of the new rep bodysuit!!! I need your reaction!!
Your Cruella DeVille was amazing! Tbh, I thought the old dress you tried on would make a cute top!
Omg that white dress with the frill around the neck and shoulders looks like Mirabel's dress from Encanto!!
Ha! Kids are so funny. They just call it like they see it. One time my son said to my cousin, (a female) "why do you have a mustache?" I was mortified! Lol
Colleen you should set up a camera somewhere and then go somewhere else in that room and pretend to film to see what daisy would do
Have a safe Halloween Colleen and family. Good Morning. I love that idea of 101 Dalmatians.
