i'm so sorry erik but the poop stories had me crying with laughter this episode was so funny

[@princessfifi4206]

I was listening while shaving my legs and I started laughing so hard that my razor almost slipped

[@jennaloper7009]

Flynn's reactions to the whole show and the experience of being there with his mom is absolutely adorable. Telling Colleen all of his favorite parts and calling the audience "Mommy's friends". So cute!!!

[@millykay3209]

Erik’s support for Colleen and the way he looks at her when talking about going back to live shows is so sweet, you can really tell that he’s truly all in and just how much of a wonderful partner he is for Colleen, they’re both so fortunate to have eachother

[@aleshaneeeeee]

COLLEEN: THERE IS DISPOSABLE LINERS DESIGNED FOR BOTTLES SO YOU ONLY HAVE TO STERILIZE THE NIPPLE. YOU THROW AWAY THE LINER AFTER YOU USE IT AND THE BOTTLE IS CLEAN SO NO CLEANING NEEDED!!! PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS OPTION I THINK ITD HELP YOU A LOT

[@danichesney1876]

I used these for my first born. Didn't remember they existed until my 2nd was over the bottles 😆😆😆

[@asliceofmini]

I used these for my kids too. They were Playtex brand, I think. We also used one of those microwaveable sterilization bags for the nipples and bottle rings (used to keep the liners in place). Such a huge time saver!!

[@CoriBrown85]

This comment needs more likes so Colleen can see! 💜

[@pfftxoxo1502]

Very wasteful

[@saniamehra4902]

@@pfftxoxo1502 The water, time, and energy required to wash and dry multiple bottles multiple times a day is also quite wasteful too - this option sounds like a great alternative all around, especially considering california’s drought if you want to think about waste

[@brynn1995]

Non breast feeding moms have been shamed for decades, as a mom in the early 2000’s I can say the stigma on bottle feeding has gotten way better. I breast fed my first, my second ended up in the hospital in 2004 and then like Westley refused to breast feed and with the 3rd I choose not to because I went back to my 12 hr a day job when he was 6 weeks.The tag line EVERYWHERE you went or saw that was baby related was “BREAST IS BEST”. Of course I was made to feel less than back in 2001 and 2004 but Its actually gotten much better…. Thanks to women like you Colleen who educate these ignorant people who need to RELAX. 💚

[@kaybenny4669]

As humans , can we all agree we have no memory of breast feed over bottle fed? And we are all GREAT.

[@savedmp3]

Wow thanks for sharing your story…. So true

[@gabrielsarah7763]

Here in Québec most people I know used formula

[@kleonard1392]

I had my son in 2013 and here in wyoming it’s still very much breast is best here!! But then people also throw a fit and try to make a big deal out of breast feeding in public! Damned if you do damned if you don’t it seems. I think FED is best!

I'm obsessed with their podcast, it's like they were born to do this.

[@kaiaswrld]

The whole *Flynn seeing Coleen as who she is and not just “mommy” for the first time and him telling you his favourite parts of the show is literally the cutest thing ever and I’m literally crying😭 he’s getting so big. But also like he can also have that moment with Eric too the first time he gets to watch a movie or tv show with Eric in it!! He has such talented parents and it makes me so emotional to see him realizing that😭❤️

[@heidisanchez6918]

I went to the Sacramento show and I was sitting in the balcony area. When I saw Erik, Flynn and your parents go sit in the audience I teared up a little. Being able to see Flynns reactions from far away was so cool to see!

[@reillypaul9259]

I watched the live show on KZbin cause I could not get tickets !!! And I had tears running down my face, I was just so happy and proud of you. when I am in a bad place you help me so much with your vlogs and the podcast , I love you so much Colleen and Erik !!! ♥️♥️♥️

[@chibi_rabbit]

You think she's cool with her show being online?

[@mers624]

I was thinking that same thing. Not cool……

[@jadaaurie7696]

@@chibi_rabbit Yes! One of the youtube videos i watched, the publisher in the comments said he went to the meet and greet and asked if it’s okay to post and if so when (after all her shows or after that specific one). And he said she said it was perfectly fine to do so after that show.

Consider tubs with lids next time you travel in a RV with all the stuff. I stopped using suitcases when camping/traveling and it works well for moving stuff in and out of hotel rooms on luggage carts too. Then when you get to the hotel you just have the lid to pop off to access everything and you don’t have to find a specific bag/tote.

[@brynn1995]

I do the same thing!!!! So much easier and a space saver.

[@pattynelson305]

The way Erik looks at you, Colleen and the love and admiration he shares with you, about you, for you is so very sweet. Oh how wonderful. Share that back with him.

Literally getting so emotional and tearing up hearing you guys talk about the pandemic and everyone struggling during the last two years. I have always watched Colleen’s vlogs/main channel/Miranda, but when the pandemic hit I started watching Colleen’s vlogs everyday. I missed my high school graduation because of COVID and have been struggling with becoming and adult (moving, transferring colleges, finding a career, paying bills etc) but you guys have honestly been the only constant in my life these past 2 years and I’m just so grateful for you guys ❤️❤️ love you both and just wanted you to know how much you have helped me through the years !! ❤️💖

[@alonnawright6065]

The way you two heal my inner child is incredible. I would've gave anything to have parents like y'all. Colleen, I'm wishing that you NEVER have a moment where you think "i"m a bad mom", because you simply aren't. I know perfect isnt really real, but you're damn close. I love y'all.

[@DebisDesignDiary]

I’m crying listening to you talk about Flynn watch your show💗 so happy for you, and inspired by you! I’ve been to two of your shows and totally loved them!

[@ashleyhautalamusic]

I love how Colleen was prepared to say “I’m not looking” to Erik in the shower when they’re literally married and have made children together lol. So sweet.

[@sunflower9690]

Colleen is such the sweetest person ever. So genuine and always willing to understand other people and their perspectives. And hearing out, it was nice hearing her talk about how appreciative she is. 💜

[@texasgal07]

I grew up in a family that worked for a car company…and they always said, “why do ppl put a $20,000, $30,000, etc vehicle out in the driveway and out in the weather and store $550-$1000 worth of junk in the garage?!?” And we also live in baseball size hail and tornado land. Which makes sense.

[@angelabrady8177]

My sibs are twins, and I came after. My mom says that having me was the hardest thing she’s ever done, because she was taking care of a baby with twin toddlers. Also- As a formula feeding mom, thank you for consistency positioning yourself positive, encouraging friends.

[@Loveyourse1f]

I love listening to the podcast on Wednesday and then watching whenever it’s posted 😍 these two are my favs

[@sngray11]

I totally and completely agree. ☺️

[@queenbee8309]

My niece had twin girls first pregnancy. Three years later had a baby boy. She said the second go round was a piece of cake. They graduate next month and both leaving for different colleges in the fall. My niece is having a hard time because two are leaving the nest at the sam time!

[@alimay4342]

That's so weird! my first pregnancy was twin girls 4 years ago and i just had a baby boy haha, my pregnancy with my boy was wonderful, it felt so easy compared to the girls

Eric saying “clicker” at 23:41 is the most Jersey thing ever

[@chelseyfaye8778]

I love seeing the love and pride he has for her talking about her show. There are some actors who look down at people who do KZbin, but He has never been anything but proud and amazed at how incredible she is!

[@emibeth8138]

Breast vs formula argument needs to stop, I agree. FED IS BEST! I'm with you guys.

[@miayar]

i listen/watch these podcasts everyday when i get ready AND I WAS NOT PREPARED TO START CRYING BEFORE PUTTING ON MY MASCARA the part when colleen was talking about how hard the past two years have been for her and for everyone got me choked UP 😭 brb while i go dry off my tears✋🏻

[@Elizabeth-xf7yu]

I am so proud of you for doing another live show. You are incredibly talented and your shows are beyond funny. It is true, for many of us you were our friend during the pandemic. We looked forward to our time with you every day and are so grateful for all of the hours you put in so that we could have a glimpse of the world outside of our homes. You may not think that you did very much, but for many of us it was a lifesaver.

[@treebles]

colleen, you HAVE TO tell us next week if you were able to get the mustard fried burger! also, flynn is right, you do have a lot of friends! i think i talk about you more than i do any of my other friends. i do think of you as a friend, even though i only know of you from your vlogs, shows + the like. 🌈💜💜

[@greenqueen8323]

You both have great poop stories. Haha Colleen while house hunting, and now Erik at the theatre.

[@livmarie3502]

I’m so freaking proud of you Colleen, I’ve been watching you since I was 9 and as a thirteen year old you have helped me through so much, I know the chances of you seeing this are so so slim but if there is even a chance I can let you know how amazing you are, then I want to tell you. I’m so proud of you, you’re an amazing mom and an even better person, I hope this comment isn’t drowned out by hate because you deserve all the love❤

[@Nananawhatsmyname]

Aw, seeing Colleen speak about people coming up to her thanking her for the past two years made me tear up 🙏🤗 It's truly how I feel, too. It's been a tough time and many days her vlogs or this podcast was the one thing I was looking forward to during those days. This is a wonderful and supportive community. Thank you, Colleen & Erik and your entire adorable family 😍

[@monke4070]

When me and my fiance were in the delivery room with the baby the nurses and lactation consultants were bombarding us telling us how breast feeding is the best way etc etc. And when the baby was struggling to breast feed or he just didn't want to I would tell my fiance to just bottle feed because there was nothing wrong with it. The only thing that matters is that the baby is fed.

[@xtcharmed]

exactly! its crazy seeing ppl say one is better than the other when the baby just needs to be fed!!!

[@janicemichaloski5292]

Colleen your vlogs are a light spot during a rough few years for lots of people I'm sure I know I always look forward to your videos 🙂 ❤

[@sarahbrazeau7731]

Hi Colleen and Eric! You two are so much fun to watch, Colleen your vlogs LOvE them! You all are just the best to watch. 😊 Flynn and the babies are just growing and love each of their personalities! Congrats on getting back to shows and traveling a little!! It will do your soul some good! 💗

[@aubreyturner2638]

Colleen. You have 100% gotten me through life. My birthday is next week, i will be 23. That means I have watched up for over a decade. This last decade has been so hard, but one person who has always made me smile is you. Im a cryer. I cry about everything, youve made me feel not alone about that. I am a theatre girl, you made me feel supported about that. I cry when you cry and I laugh when you laugh. You are my inspiration. You are someone who I look up to. My greatest friend who is thousands of miles away. Colleen, I love the person you are. I hope one day I can meet you and tell you how proud I am of you, and how much you changed my life.

[@excitedmommy]

Family friend had a set of twin girls. Few years later got pregnant with another girl. Few years later hubby really wanted to try one last time for a boy. They got another set of twin girls. 5 girls in total.

[@ykook7000]

Omg! Never roll the dice cos ya just never know

[@brief402]

Kind of sounds like my b+sil. They each had at least 1 girl from previous relationships. Then wanted kids together. They are up to 5 girls because she kept saying "I want a boy" He finally was like 5 girls is enough I'm getting snipped

[@vivianperez631]

Listening to you talk about your meet and greet has me crying. Your videos and vlogs throughout the pandemic has also truly gotten me through the past two years. I looked forward to every vlog you posted and was ready for my daily dose of Colleen, Erik and Flynn. Just seeing another family going through the same thing was so human and humbling, I love every minute of it and listening to your podcast has also become part of my life. I love listening/watching it and at times, your relationship with Erik reminds me of myself and my boyfriend and I love sharing those moments with him. Thank you Colleen for all the videos, vlogs, podcasts, life updates you have posted, you are an amazing human, mom and entertainer ❤️

[@ashlieann4190]

Flynn really is one of kind & he’s gonna go so far in life. He truly melts my heart.

[@jillianwildman3511]

Hey Colleen and Eric, Jillian here! Just wanted to say thanks for shedding light on the formula shaming. I am adopted, and I remember reading so many articles when researching that "formula babies don't grow as well or become as smart healthy, etc." It bothered me so much. Thankfully so much more research since then has come out to the contrary, but I remember how it hurt my mom when she read them. Not a mom yet, but I am positive you are just a good a mom as mine.....and she's the best 😀! Relax formula shamers!

[@victoria-wt7fv]

watching this while having covid and it made me feel better ❤️ love you colleen

[@kulwinderpowar7173]

the fact that erik is so atttentive about these womens topics and is okay to talk about these topics is just, the best, and there podcast are so amazing, im in love

[@carlijohnson7631]

Colleen you are such an amazing human being. I saw I sneak peek of your love show her on YT, and can I just say CHILLS. Such a beautiful performer. I started watching your vlogs a few years ago and was pregnant at the same time as you were with the twins. I wish you knew how much you have helped me. It may be weird, but I was so scared of labor & your birth vlog with Flynn was literally on repeat and got me through a terrifying labor & deliver! After watching you perform I admire you even more. I just love you & your little family, thank you for being you!!!

[@anitavandermerwe7797]

I love the relationship between Eric and Colleen. I think it is the best one ever. They are so kind and humble and just their laughs light up every day

[@katie6522]

I love this content, proud of Colleen for doing those live shows even though I couldn’t go, Pickles are so good, but you know you can ask for no pickles on burgers at any restaurant on apps you can pick which toppings you want or not but knowing Erick he doesn’t ask and just picks pickles off, I love Flynn’s reaction to the live shows, he’s such a cute fun guy and has a amazing personality and a great sense of humor! 🥰

Once upon a time in 2016 my identical twin middle school girls begged me to take them to see this "youtuber" in Nashville. I got tickets and off we went. I was blown away by your brilliant comedy and became an instant fan! I came home and started watching Miranda Sing videos which lead me to Colleen Ballinger, Rachel Ballinger and The Ballinger Family channels. I LOVE your family! I have been to two more live shows since 2016 and even met your mom outside the tour bus in Knoxville .(sweetheart) Sad to report my girls are in college now and take a peek at your videos every now and then just to keep up and to see your babies but me? I haven't missed one single video, live stream, tik tok, virtual live show you name it since then lol As soon as tickets go on sale near our home, trust me...I WILL BE THE ONE BEGGING THEM TO GO WITH ME and I will be sporting my adopted Ballinger tshirt!

Hey Colleen and Erik!! I actually am a twin AND have a younger sister…I asked my mom if it was easier having a single baby after having two, and she said “of course! Having two babies at once was hard, but we are so blessed. After you two, Bekah (my younger sister) was still a challenge but definitely a lot easier to manage”! I just wanted to share that yes she thinks that having one baby after two was a lot simpler (as you can imagine). I love watching this podcast and Coleens channel(s)!!
