MAISY TAKES OVER THE VLOG!

[@Rep0rter23]

No one can change my mind that those subtitles when Maisy was talking were so SPOT ON!! Also she adopted a British accent at times 😆

[@melissacoviello2886]

Didn’t Flynn have a southern accent?

[@alyssaimartinezz]

I NOTICED THIS TOO

[@samg873]

​@@melissacoviello2886 he did

[@michelle5254]

Especially her “not really” 😅

[@rachelotremba8100]

​@@michelle5254Yes! 😅

[@kmanley_]

the similarities between maisy and bailey already are incredible. born on the same day, the only girls, and they both love books?!? so cute. ❤

[@novaflorencia]

right?! they might as well be sisters

[@lucieleairth]

Maisy also looks a lot like Bailey when she was a baby

[@Lilg496]

She NEEDS to recreate Bailey’s book reviews in a couple years!

[@mehzgirl5044]

@@lucieleairth I agree!

[@shaylin3515]

Eric really said what we’re all thinking with Flynn chopping like Kendall Jenner

[@pandorus165]

YES

[@lucylawes]

Erik* but omg yes😂😂😊

[@anastasia.beaverhousen]

I was getting ready to say it then laughed when he did

[@jessjonesd]

“What did she look like” made me instantly SOB. I think it reminded me that when I have kids, they won’t get to know my grandmother. She was my world and I wish the whole world could know her.

[@samanthakavanagh7034]

It's.... hard. My poppy passed away when I was pregnant and knowing he never got to meet my son is torture especially because he was soooo excited for me. For years I thought I couldn't have kids, so when I found out I was pregnant it was a huge surprise and he nearly jumped out of his bed despite being bedridden for nearly 10 years prior to that. I think about him all the time and know he would have been obsessed with my boy.

[@rachelotremba8100]

I'm sorry for your guys' losses. Hope you're both doing okay 💕

[@Ya_boi_jasper]

I’m so fortunate to be able to have 16 years with my great grandpa and 17 with my great grandma. Growing up I thought everyone did. So I was so confused when nobody was talking about their great grandparents. I spent every day after school with them up until middle school. Losing my great grandpa was very hard, I think it was really hard on all of us great grandchildren. My little brother doesn’t understand what really happened so everytime we go over to their house he goes “gonna see pawpaw at Nanny’s house?” And it’s so sad. He doesnt understand that he’s not there. Our great grandpa was one of his favorite people.

[@novaflorencia]

same 🥲 my great grandma and i were really close, and even though i always obviously knew that my kids won't get to meet her, it's still crushing to think about. she went to be with Jesus almost 2 years ago and i still miss her...

[@novaflorencia]

​@@Ya_boi_jasper this hit me hard bc i also grew up with my great grandparents. my great grandpa passed away when i was 10 and my great grandma when i was 18. it's definitely a blessing to get that many years with them, but it hurts bc they're very missed. sorry for your loss 🤍

[@glitter2431]

I’ve commented this before but I thought I’d mention it again! 💜 When the kids get older and you and Erik want to spend time with the kids one on one: -Maisy Mondays -Wesley Wednesdays -Flynn Fridays I think that’s so perfect how that works out!

[@ElizabethMidfordHatesCops]

I think that works in theory, but not in practice.

[@awesomeavaalways]

It’s very thoughtful

[@lornab2555]

What a sweet comment!

[@suepeterson163]

I agree

[@medinatabor6492]

Yes, that's a good idea!

[@shaunawheaton1933]

I adore how Maisy reads books! I have never seen a baby read like that. I'm a pre-k teacher, and I can't wait to see what she grows up to be! She is SO smart! Obviously Flynn and Westley are smart too.

Nice job. Please keep posting these. I am looking forward to the 'garden tour' video. There seems to be a lot of 'habitat' out there.

[@paigerodriguez1473]

This is so cool! Keep doing these please!

[@tieragibbs3045]

Legenddddd i love this! Please keep posting them ❤

[@hannahjolittle]

“I’ve never met someone more obsessed with books than my daughter.” Ummm have you met your niece, Bailey? Lol 😂

[@mehzgirl5044]

Haha

[@theaniacz]

Right?! 😂❤

[@claudiajade624]

Re watching cause I need something comforting. I hope U come back soon. I can't imagine how much bigger these beautiful babies are by now 😢😍

[@yaraaaak]

same 😢

[@Kyaesk]

There is no way the twins are so big. They know so many words, are almost walking around, interact, have personalities, and so much more! I remember when they were so small and were coming home from the NICU. Such smart kids you are raising.

[@samg873]

I keep forgetting they were preemies

[@jenguyen07]

Little Miss Maisy has got so much to say! We’re listening, Maisy! 😊

[@missmaryreadaloud]

I work in an elementary school and I've worked with children in daycare too. I believe that the section where Maisy is talking to the camera, Maisy camera, that she is saying "I'm taking a picture, it's messy" and later on she says "hi guys" I love watching your vlogs and learn so much. Mary (Canada)

[@xlaurenxsmithx]

That moment in the kitchen with you and Flynn talking about your grandma was so cute my heart almost exploded 💙

[@i.am.marigold0248]

awww... what a cutie Maisy attitude! 😍😍😍 "All I do is eat everyday! so don't!" awwwwww.. such an adorable baby.

[@minahilbaig1822]

She's hilarious! 😂🤣

[@kendrickunlimited]

colleen, i lost my voice at a music festival this past weekend so i tried to minimize my talking/cheering/singing along and it was SO FRUSTRATING! i really feel for you! glad you are able to use your voice a little more each day, and thank you for posting about it because i feel a little more educated about how to take care of my own voice now as it heals ❤

[@eileengineitis6721]

Love the Flynn pants you reconfigured for him! He’s quite the kitchen hand. And I could listen to Maisy all day! Wesley has the sweetest disposition.

[@Rachel-cj1jl]

I've been a silent follower for almost 10 years and it's incredible to see the person and parent that Colleen has become. She truly is a role model and if the world was filled with more parents like Colleen and Eric, it would be a much better place!

[@1LauraMeow]

I still feel like the "Maisy come home" song was posted yesterday and look at her now taking over the vlogs with her dancer twin Wesley. Time flies man 🥲🥲🥹

[@fzzypurpleturtle]

Miasy has big mommy energy -- she wants to do everything you're doing, Colleen!! Reading to brothers? ✅ vlog? ✅checking out the garden? ✅helping get wesley to bed? ✅ it's so so precious how much she looks up to you

[@graceedgington]

Maisie's babbling captions reminds me of when Colleen and Erik first started dating and Colleen would caption Erik's mumbles as something completely different to what he was actually saying.

[@cupcakelikes]

Your niece Bailey is pretty obsessed with books too.

[@FarrenDowning]

Shout out to Gustifur for being a brave wild animal exloring the outdoors and climbing trees. Just living his best life since the move. And also the gardener for knowing whats up, so many people tear out plants thinking they're dead over the winter months and its so sad because they're just hibernating and they’ll bloom again once spring comes round

[@aquamarineblue8690]

Can we also see Wesley’s vlogs too? Love to see him as well. Thank you.

[@yesleK8]

Flynn asking to play fetch and not catch made me chuckle. Such a cute little guy.

[@Shanaerolls00]

The way that Flynn chucked the cup to hold the chick is so perfect ahahah he’s the best

[@katiemacwhereuat]

Love how much Maisy has been talking! She reminds me so much of you Colleen!

[@Courtney-in6nd]

My mom just recently lost her job, I’m going through kidney failure and my dad broke his back and can’t work and as you can imagine it’s been a hard year for my family and we’ve been struggling- but watching your vlogs honestly brightens my day alot and reminds me somehow that everything is going to work out and be okay…. So thank you Colleen for being a ray of light for me 💕

[@Rosecrochets]

I thought she was singing PJ masks haha! I love your family so much and I hope you feel better soon, you're such a good mother your children are so beautiful and smart 🥰❤

[@goodforthesoul3050]

Maisie is such a little chatter box! She makes me smile so much!

[@LiahnaForbes]

Tortilla Talk Question: What is your favorite Taylor Swift song, album, lyric, etc.??? I always love when you mention her because I am such a big fan of her music!

[@laurenschenck5355]

Your garden is so beautiful like a castle garden 😊

[@spreid_]

I'm driving from Montreal to Huntington to see your show and I'm really excited! I hope your voice is feeling better soon 💕

[@Alice-ne7rk]

Flynn asking "what did she look like?" after he learned that Colleen also had a grandma was so sweet 💕

[@jennysantana1687]

I'm so happy for y'all new house, the kids seem so happy❤ to think we all cried when you moved

[@laurenschenck5355]

Keeping clean and organized most important and make sure you get a planner and organizer thar help you keep everything organized ❤❤

[@amyspeers8012]

Your garden is amazing. I was wondering how you guys found the time to take care of it. I LOVE that you have a gardener. I think that is money well spent so you and your sweet family can enjoy the garden!

[@autumnseybert260]

I don’t think I have ever seen as little human talk that much! And Maisy is a talk box and I love it! Every question you ask her she will answer with all her sass. 😂

[@Danielleb723]

I can't wait to hear the twins talk. I know they can say words but I think it will be interesting to hear them really talk about anything and everything.

[@koriball7302]

TTQ: Do you have a gardener or do you upkeep all the stuff growing in your yard yoursef

[@miaroldan9554]

flynn asking "what did she look like?" was just the sweetest question, so genuine. beautiful moment

[@meganferguson9888]

that succulent in your backyard looks so huge & incredible!

[@renepare3996]

I love hearing the twins talk!! My son so far is non verbal so i dont get to experience that ❤ (hes almost three)

[@nabeel7479]

Maisy has such a big and bright personality it’s adorable 😭

[@lesettluna9807]

Really hope you are feeling happier. ❤

[@rebeccablair9626]

I'm feeling super overwhelmed. I'm pregnant & my due date is this Saturday & my Dr told me today that my daughter will most likely need to be in the NICU for the first week of her life. I never imagined I'd leave the hospital without her. This is my first & only baby & I don't know how to process all these emotions & fears coming up. I know you got thru it & other mama's have too. I really want to breastfeed & I hope I'm able to have that connection with her when she comes home. Our Dr is hopeful that she'll only need to stay for 1 week & I'll hopefully be there the first 3 days recovering. We get induced on Monday if she doesn't come earlier. Thank you for posting these vlogs & for showing your NICU experience bc at least I have an idea of what to expect when my baby is there. ❤

[@chloeross5925]

Oh my goodness my heart absolutely melted watching you help Flynn with making the jam! My mom and dad would always find little ways to have me help in the kitchen when I was little, and they are still some of my favorite memories! That pampered chef veggie chopper was and still is my favorite to this day. I am in my second year at college, and I live alone so I usually cook for myself. I always think back to those memories, and seeing you do this with Flynn brought me so much joy. I have been having a really hard time with my mental health lately, and watching your videos daily, even with you going through stress with your voice/throat, has been so comforting. You are such an inspiration, and I love feeling like I am a small part of your family from the outside! Love you so much Colleen❤️❤️

[@Gia_Lissette]

Colleen forgetting that Bailey loooooooves to read as well 😅. The cousins are actually very similar in that way.

[@Chexydecimal]

When darling Maisy really starts talking, Colleen won’t have to! Adorable. 😘♥️🏁

[@katieroberts1757]

Oh please please please can we get a spring back yard/garden tour?!?!?!?🎉

[@Frenziedgremlin]

Bailey has always been obsessed with books so you have met someone that’s obsessed with books like Maisy

[@hannahwirth4802]

Fun find!! Maisy totally did the sign for flowers when you asked if she wanted to go on the slide or look at the flowers!!! 13:54

[@Angelinaaaa-xfd]

TTQ: when will Flynn go to school?

[@attitudemusic3314]

I'd be more interested as to WHERE. (Obviously for safety, she would not say the actual name.) But I hope she would say if they picked a public school, private school, charter school, Christian school, online school, performing arts school, etc.

[@zadieellie]

He’ll probably go next year or the year after when he’s 5

[@zadieellie]

@@daisystar25970 oh yeah duh so he’ll go probably September 2024

​@Dee Dee I don't remember him turning 4 yet

[@ericataylor2292]

Tortilla talk question how do you prepare and eat your artichokes?

[@sngray11]

The subtitles for Maisy’s baby talk totally made my day! 💗 And I was just as obsessed with books and reading as Maisy is when I was little. 🥰

[@Hawaiiansunsets103]

“He’s cutting like Kendal Jenner” KILLED. ME. 😂

[@saracanon660]

TTQ: Have you talked to Flynn or the twins about the concept of death? I remember when bugs would die you would say they are “sleeping” but I’m curious if that’s changed, now that he’s older. I hope you are feeling better mentally and with your throat. Sending you so much love!! ❤️❤️

[@JenniferOsborne-fg5by]

Sorry you were feeling down. I relate to that so much, and I love that you're so real with us. I have days like that too and hope you're feeling better! :)

Maisy reading is my favorite thing in the world. She’s so into it and dramatic! I would love to hear what stories she makes up in her head 😂😂😂

[@rebeccahileman3954]

I got a fig tree last year and hoping for my first figs! I’ve heard the window of ripeness for figs is very small but you can freeze them while you wait for enough for jam!

I love watching your vlogs, you brighten my days🤍

[@JosiePosieeeee]

5:01 omg 🥲 FLYNN IS SOOO CUTE ❤ I can’t get over his big boy haircut

[@Chrissi35813]

Maybe think about having someone come in once a week for an hour to tidy! It would take some training so they know where you want stuff but it might be beneficial for you!

[@slip_blm]

Your backyard is so gorgeous 😍 I'm definitely using it as inspo for my sims build 😂

[@sarahmoore1430]

Missy and your niece are twins. That’s all I see every time I see her! And Flynn is Erik’s twin, but has Colleen’s spirit if that makes sense.

[@juliahalcomb9073]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; Maisy reminds me so much of your niece Bailey!!
