That clip of Flynn and Erik with the octopuses has me in tears! The pure joy from both of them…THAT is the meaning of life. 🐙

[@hersha777]

Colleen please dont ever stop daily vlogging! You have become such a big part of my day. When I get home from work, I unwind by watching your channel. You’ve been my online bestie since 2017. Thank you for being there when I felt no one else was❤

[@Elizabeth-xf7yu]

Flynn and Erik's trip to the pier seeing the octopus brought a tear to my eye. What a lovely moment for them. You and Erik are such good parents, and your children are just a joy.

[@editinqscariet]

IS THE WAY HE FULL ON TOOK DOWN DAMON 😭😭💀

[@FrancieMoon9]

Erik and Flynn getting so excited and Flynn exclaiming, "Dude!!" is so great!!

[@CatieMannino]

I forgot Erik was so BRUTAL in Vampire Diaries! That was so fun to watch from Colleens perspective 😂 (btw Colleen, he was a werewolf in the show!)

[@juliamd08]

Erik is such a great dad! you can tell how much he enjoys spending time with his kids and how their happiness is all he needs to be happy! ❤

[@keziahbybee4561]

i want flynn to have a whole segment on your channel talking about all the sea creatures and all the things he loves ! i know nothing about them and seeing him get so passionate talking about them makes me want to see more !! hes such a fun educated little man🥰

[@cierrablue]

That bit of footage with the octopus and the camera was absolutely wonderful. Just so magical.

[@SheldonMoonsmom2019]

After a long, exhausting day, there's at least a Colleen vlog to offer some comfort to me

[@KierstyPaige]

Flynn is legit the coolest kid. So smart too. I’ve learned a lot tbh😂

[@HeatherByington-z3y]

Okay!!! New pitch….good news Fridays! We comment with something good that happened to us or a feel good story we heard and you share just like you did in the vlog tonight ❤

[@melissag.2618]

Flyn reminds me so much of my son when he was little. He’s now 23 😊 Thank you for sharing your family with us. ❤

[@mollykreitman9661]

Idk how he just picked up that dead shark like it was nothing

[@jill6560]

Oh man, love how excited Eric was for the octopus 🐙 😩♥️ that was so sweet

[@tabbylouise]

Damon is so hard to fight even vampires can’t do it but Eric is a warewolf, so the fact he managed to take down Damon is awesome!!

[@Freckles694]

Omfg your face when you realized the contraption Erik made to torture damon🤣🤣🤣🤣 you were shook.

[@LisamarieNHtoTx]

“Nobody’s going to notice if I don’t post”. I personally take offense to this!!! I run to watch when I get the notification. I have love you with my whole heart for omg 10 years or something. You’re more than a part of my life Colleen. You’re family. I’ve never been able to have children. I’ve love living through the drama of your pregnancy. The good the bad the all of it. You’re seriously one of the best parts of my day. Never question if posting or not is noticed. It is. It always will be

[@ashleymandina6139]

I believe I have watched every movie Erik has been In as well as every talk show , interview, hit Netflix show :), KZbin video or collaboration Colleen has done!!! I’ve been here for a very long time but hey that’s how we became a family right! Showing support over all the years through all the things !!

[@veresquivel]

Your vlogs are such a comfort to me ❤ please don't feel there's no need to post because nobody cares! We definitely do!

[@noemirevuelta7000]

Thank you Colleen you made me cry 😢😭. I look forward to seeing your videos every day. There is not one I will miss ❤ 🎉

[@Amber-Roberts]

Flynn is seriously amazing with how many sea creatures he knows! Every time I watch the vlog and he pops up, it’s like getting my daily dose of fun sea creature facts! And the fact that he’s so young and already just looks at these creatures and knows them? That blows my mind it’s crazy in the best way!

[@morganfern29]

Colleen I first want to say thank you for every single one of your vlogs over the last couple of years. You are by far one of ,y favorite KZbinrs of all time. I always enjoy watching your vlogs and family videos. Secondly I love love love watching Erick and Flynn laughing crazily at the octopuses. That was so amazing and cool. Those octopuses were so cool looking and kind of majestic the way they moved towards the underwater camera. I loved this vlog so much. Your vlogs always make me smile and happy. Keep up the amazing vlog work. Stay positive, and you are AMAZING! 13:59 those rocks are beautiful.

[@charlottemurphy6765]

When you had your break last year I honestly felt lost almost like I had lost a friend. I was so happy when you returned and i felt complete again.

[@sai.samyuktha]

Colleen, I live in India and work the night shift. I usually come home exhausted AF from work at 4 in the morning but every inch of me looks forward to your vlog before hitting the bed. Its part of my daily routine and it always makes me feel better. Your videos are embedded in a lot of our everyday routines, Colleen. We love and are so proud of you! All the love from India. You should come here and hang sometime ♥️

[@KG.graves]

Could you actually sit with Erik n watch scenes he’s been in to see his reaction? Either in the vlogs or on the pod 🙏🙏

[@allisonparkerog]

Hey colleen, I just have to take a moment to appreciate you just being the best mom you know how. It's so fun watching you give it your everything to give your children the best childhood ever. if my parents took me to the beach right after school or built me a dollhouse I would've been giddy to the gills! You're amazing

[@abbygorl5275]

i notice and care if you do or don’t post. of course we want you to prioritize your health so that matters more important than a video but i loveeee you and your family so much and i miss you guys even though we’ve never actually met so thank you for posting regularly ❤️‍🔥

[@tabbylouise]

About 2 months ago I started rewatching the vampire diaries for the first time, Eric is such an amazing actor that I had literally no idea it was him until he was about to be unalived at the end of the episode and I was like omg that really looks like Eric!! Then I was like WAIT A MIN 🤣😅 🎥 OMG Colleen you would love the vampire diaries!!

[@abbygorl5275]

OH MY GOSH STOPPPP that under water footage is so freakin cool. i love their reactions thank you for sharing. so cool

[@kmimie00]

love your vlogs Colleen!!

[@makenarose5933]

Wes is giving Sid the sloth from ice age with his little lisp and I think it’s the cutest thing I’ve ever heard

[@SherryBaby1107]

I’m happy you post every vlog I have never missed one in years! You are truly the bright spot in my day 😊emotions suck and are very hard to control just know you are loved by your friends family your kids and husband and all of us who are here there are so many who have no one family have all passed people who work from home it’s even harder to find friends…..in a lonely world you are always here and that means so much!! 😊

[@evechristensen2370]

Colleen I just wanted to say how much I love you and your videos, I’ve been watching for at least 10 years and I truly feel like you’re my friend. I’ve even had dreams about getting to hang out with you and the kids, babysitting your kids for you, etc. When you stepped away from KZbin and social media and it seemed like you might never come back, I honestly grieved. It felt like losing a friend. I’d check your vlog channel and social media every now and then to see if there was any sign of you coming back. I literally cried when I got the notification of your first vlog back. Anyways I just really hope you know how loved you are and how much of an impact you’ve made on our lives, even though most of us have never even met you! 💜💜💜

[@Kam-vz4yo]

Hi Colleen, I saw a news story a couple of months ago about a woman who was attacked by a bear while out on a walk. She happened to be wearing a claw clip in her hair and while the bear was chewing on her skull, the claw clip broke in its mouth and it got spooked and ran off. That claw clip ended up saving her life!

[@catherine2563]

Love Flynn at the beach, love the kids tea party, the octopus coming after the camera??? Wild!!! So fun to hear Flynn and Erik reacting to that! And then to see him fighting vampires??? So much fun Colleen! I am grateful for you, similar to the comment you read, you bring light and joy into my life. Thank you for sharing your life with us! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@sophieamaris]

Colleen I honestly look forward to watching your videos every day. I’ve been watching for like 10 years and watching your vlogs is part of my daily routine now. I missed you when you took your break last year (and was worried about your mental health, I’m so glad you made it through that), and I would definitely notice and care if you stopped posting

[@jenniferlarsen3233]

My mom just got out of the ICU and off of a breathing tube. She's still in the hospital but is doing much better. Your videos bring me so much happiness 😊

[@samh1520]

Flynn is so brave when he picks up sea creatures

[@Delaney11965]

We always love watching you don’t ever put yourself down we love you so much Colleen ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@margaretshannon36]

😂😂😂😂😂omg your rapping to YT music was amazing literally made me smile I love your videos and your amazing family I hope you have an amazing week and weekend

[@FrancieMoon9]

Jeez, Jersey beaches do NOT have all these awesome creatures! California seems so awesome!

[@jasminelovely4806]

I know we don’t really know each other, but you are really like my best friend. I haven’t left my house in a long time and you give me a view of the world

[@funwithfriends634]

I think Erik is an amazing actor! He plays that sweet creepy guy so well. 😂👏👏

[@megankieke6286]

Colleen we all need to watch your videos! It’s helps us calm down at night and help us through the day. I feel like a piece of my life is missing when there isn’t a video of you up to watch! I love you lots! ❤

[@Bigmamajamma382]

Colleen-if you have an ALDI grocery store near you, they have a stuffy axolotl this week. ❤

[@madtingz2288]

I just love Flynn’s love for sea creatures!!

[@CandiceWoody-jv1kq]

Colleen, PLEASE READ! I’ve been watching you since I was 10, and now, at almost 18, I finally feel compelled to reach out. It makes me sad to hear you doubt your impact; your vlogs truly brighten my day. As a high school student juggling online college and late-night work shifts, your videos help me unwind. I only have KZbin to watch you-I don’t watch other channels. After losing my mother at 11 and my dad at 15, seeing you and Eric with your kids brings me so much joy. You are an amazing mother, and your children are lucky to have you. You are doing a great job, Colleen. Your presence has profoundly impacted my life. During your break, I was worried you might not return, and I was so relieved when you did. Please continue for people like me who find joy in your content.

[@Tina_Rinaaa]

I'm so happy everyone is sharing their good news!! Hearing positive stuff from everyone genuinely puts a smile on my face!!

[@cranl9417]

Hi colleen, I've been watching you since I was 8 and now I'm 19. You have literally been one of, if not, the most constant thing in my life and I look forward to every single video that you post. Please know that you make people happy worldwide! Love from the Philippines.

[@caitlinlindbeck8619]

I just wanted to say I love you so much Colleen!!! I have been watching for years and years💗💗As a busy college student making time for the vlogs and the podcast!! I regret all the time not going to the Indianapolis shows!! I love you and your family so much!!

[@Taylor-fan4ever]

Flynn is so adorable and so are the twins💕

[@taylorshelafoe4241]

Not only is Flynn super smart but the twins too! Should be so proud of yourself Colleen!

[@pittacarol]

The way Wesley and Maisy say sea anemone sounds similar to the way Nemo says it in the movie, and it is one of the cutest things I ever heard ♥

[@JarenRaiRagadio]

You’re such a good mom, I love how you treat your kids I wish I had that type of mom but honest you’re a really good mom in general.

[@monicaaa7]

TTQ: does erik have any upcoming acting projects?

[@alexisernst7896]

Maisy taking the camera reminded me of when Flynn would say "Babayy" when he saw himself. 🥲

[@kyleea.8327]

Colleen this is freaky... I just barely started rewatching the Vampire Diaries and now you post this today!

[@khinchable]

I watched this just last week. And was like … wait a minute … is that Erik? 3rd time through the series and I finally notice it😂

[@alisasokolik]

are you kiddiiiiiinnnggg. when you don’t post for a single day i’m already crying on the inside. girl we notice the next second when you don’t post, you’re practically the only person i watch on youtube 💗💗💗💗 we notice and we love love love when you post, i be waiting all day! same goes for the podcast ❤️❤️❤️

[@mrskrystal32]

I will notice if you don’t post a video daily because I enjoy getting off work and getting home to watch your new vlog. I didn’t know what to do when you were away the last time. I rewatched videos and left you comments hoping you were okay. You make my day after a long day at work. Also hearing Erik & Flynn laugh was the sweetest. And the twins reacting to the beach omg the cutest thing I’ve seen all day. I love your little family and wish nothing but the best for you all. I wish I could hug you and tell you everything will be okay when you’re feeling depressed. But we all care for you more than you realize. Since we’re sharing good news I was just promoted to office manager! Anyways love you Colleen!

[@valc_lover22]

the fact that the twins are having full on conversations is still baffling to me like WHAT DO YOU MEAN- 😭😭😭

[@rileyczartoryski5124]

Ok so Erik in vampire diaries?! How have I never put this together. Can he talk about this experience on the podcast or something? So iconic! And he looks and sounds like Flynn so much in those clips!

[@JackieHall71]

When my son, Blake, first saw a hermit crab, he looked at his dad and me and asked "How did you know his name? Blake was around Flynn's age when he asked that. He is 32 now and we still give him a hard time about it Herman.

[@tiffmarie6778]

That genuine laugh you hear when he sees the octopus just makes your heart happy. Thanks for sharing. What a great experience!

[@makenarose5933]

That is so stinking cool that Flynn got to see not one but two octopus! And that they were so intrigued with the camera. The smiles on his face were so precious. I love tidepool content and I love seeing Flynn so passionate and excited

[@megankieke6286]

I love watching you watch the Vampire Diaries! It’s such an amazing show and Eric did a good performance! I laughed hard when you said the moonstone is a milky quarts 😂❤️

[@ashesrose5]

What a lucky kiddo Flynn is! Eric and Flynn's reaction to the octopus attacking their camera is precious 🥹

[@erinhughes8015]

Flynn and Erik getting so exited and sharing joy over an octopus actually made me ball my eyes out. they have such a great bond and i love watching them make core memories x

[@FrancieMoon9]

We love your vlogs, Colleen!

[@jazonwong]

I feel like that is one of the best father son experience Erik has ever had

[@Techgurl23]

I agree the complete joy in Erik and Flynn’s screams was so beyond precious ! Thanks for sharing Colleen ! You are so loved believe me !

[@sophiebentley2140]

I have watched vampire diaries so many times i never realised erik was in it

[@kaisamoore145]

The fact that the octopus was so curious is so incredible!!! They are so smart, and what a cool experience for Flynn and Eric!

[@maggieminer7893]

The pure joy of seeing a dad be a dad just melts my heart and this made me cry

[@susanestes8934]

I will notice if you don't post a video! I check every evening to see if there is a new one. Love you lots xoxo

[@leahbrooker6593]

Wouldn’t it be cute if you dressed the kids up fancy and took them to high tea somewhere with fancy sandwiches and tea cups? When they’re older of course lol

[@RenataEnResumen]

I got engaged 💍 and moved to Dubai with him !!! The only thing I was sad about what that I will be so faraway form the US now as if that ment I was ever going to meet you from Mexico 😂😊 and my fiancé told me “You got more chances of meeting her in Dubai now because here is the biggest aquarium in the world, she will bring her kids someday” and that was my pep talk to move 😂😂😂😂

[@takingbackangie5]

I stepped away from KZbin for what I thought was just week, come back to find Mr. Man has grown into a bonified kiddo! ❤

[@melissacoviello2886]

The footage from in the water at the beach was beyond amazing.

[@sweetlyscented5012]

After seeing a comment you replied to today I had to come and comment myself. I've been watching you since covid (though my now grown up children have been watching you longer), I don't have friends and feel like your my friend lol and your vlogs feel like your texting me about your day lol. Your videos always cheer me up so thaankyou.

[@lyndaadkins7282]

Oh the joy Flynn’s reaction to the octopus brought me! I LOVE how much he loves it all!

[@blueburryblueburry-st5px]

I enjoy every minute of your videos you make me smile all the time what’s your favorite show that Eric’s been that you love would love to know ?

[@sydneynewton881]

the clip of erik & flynn was the most precious amazing magical thing i’ve ever watched & i know it’s not just bc i’m stoned. i fully teared up, incredibly heart warming

[@iretb73]

Flynn is such a cool kid! The joy in his voice with the octopuses!! I cant tell who was more excited though, Flynn or Erik.

[@michelleherrera9353]

I never knew the ocean had so many disgusting creatures! Flynn just keeps getting more adorable each day. The girls are going to swarm him!!! What a super cutie he is.

[@meganking5710]

That little “rock paper scissors✨” was the sound of a core memory being made 💓🥹🐙

[@macmahon_matt]

Love the background from the ocean it’s oldie. P.S. Glad that Flynn’s enjoying Kindergarten.

[@denniellepollock8510]

I always need some Colleen in my life as soon as my hubby leaves boom I jump on my bed a watch just to see whsts up, and OH MY GOSH that song freaking hilarious 😂 😅😂😂

[@lori_marie]

Holy smokes Wesley is so adorable asking about the sea creatures I just can’t deal

[@rachelthomas4276]

I would absolutely notice if you didn’t vlog. I look forward to your posts and always watch first thing in the morning (I’m from the UK) and you are part of my morning routine. Your vlogs are pure joy. I watch the vlog through once and then watch it again immediately after while reading the comments. Love this community ❤❤❤❤❤. Also, Wesley saying “I need more tea please” is the most British thing I’ve heard 😂😂😂

[@WKBanks813]

The octopus clip is the most heartwarming video!! What an amazing father and son moment. I love it!!

[@monicaaa7]

TTQ: can we see eriks watercolor paintings? u've mentioned he also paints. do you guys paint together?

[@allielipshutz4699]

6:34 OMG maisy’s sass is giving me life 😂

[@cittlalydelatorre7907]

I love the vampire diaries and I remember when I watched it for the first time I hated his character 😆 but once I rewatched it and realized it was Eric, he got some brownie points for sure.

[@JLA0219]

Okay that tea part made me laugh uncontrollably. Wesley is hilarious, and Maisy is always like *scoff* 🥴 this guy. 😂😂😂😂 it kills me.

[@regangabrielle]

i remember seeing him and i yelled “ERIC”

[@75miadwn]

Hearing Eric being so excited about the squad and knowing he is excited because he knows it makes Flynn so excited is so heart warming you got a green flag for sure❤

[@curlyque92]

Thank you for posting! I always look forward to it and I definitely notice when you don't post.
