[@beth7554]

absolutely love cory’s voiceovers if maisy and her amazingly funny expressions!!!

[@rsgroff]

Same the highlight of the vlogs for me

[@mayganmorris89]

Also her face while they were signing and then Cory’s narration 😂 dead

[@pizzagrinder59gaming]

*Kory

[@melissawebb2582]

Her expressions are the best! 😂

[@bfay]

Same

[@mrsthehotdogdance]

I’m cry-laughing at Maisy’s face during the birthday song/cake. She is such a character!

[@Sav2coolll5]

She had that face the whole time lol

[@mrsthehotdogdance]

@@Sav2coolll5 she did! Haha I love it.

[@Sydneyacosta504]

I love how expressive maisy is with her facial expressions ❤

[@suepeterson163]

I agree

[@felicitycarter8120]

And the side eye. 😂😂😂 She’s so sassy 😊

[@cathyg123]

She has such a "resting b**ch face" it's honestly hilarious ahaha

[@Hunter-ew2ve]

Day 10 of identifying bird calls in Colleen’s yard: 9:38 possibly California Towhee (the high pitched chirp that sounds like when your smoke detector is out of batteries) 11:18 possibly Oak Titmouse

[@nidhi8357]

This is so amazing! Thank you for sharing, I often look forward to reading your comment as everyday I get to know something new!

[@dianaskyy4055]

Colleen, i usually don’t leave comments but when you said you had mom guilt, i thought I’d say why i like watching you. I never had parents who celebrated me let alone my half birthday. You are teaching me how to be an amazing mom when i eventually have kids because i never knew the love that you give your kids every day. I don’t think you realize how much of an impact you have on your kids. They are very lucky to have you. Don’t worry about missing out on some days with them, you are doing everything right and i aspire to be a mom like you.

[@TheatreKid247]

I strongly suggest the books “The Monster At The End Of This Book” and “ Another Monster At The End Of The Book” They are amazing and funny books with Elmo and Grover making sure your kids have a good laugh. Since the twins love the characters so much it’s a great addition to add to your shelves.

[@madison83527]

I vividly remember my mom reading this to my siblings and I. We would laugh and laugh at that book. Such a great recommendation!!

[@Killemwithkitsch]

I litterally came to the comments to suggest these my kids loved them especially when you try to throw a Grover voice in the mix 😂

[@bethany629]

Oh. I just commented this too, haha. Glad others love this book as well!

[@lindsaydoiron2121]

Lol me too!! Best memories of this book.

[@rachelotremba8100]

The Monster at the End of This Book was one of my favorites when I was younger!

[@valarya]

I am so FKN PROUD OF YOU, Colleen. Being able to finally say that you know showing your kids that you can chase your dreams if you work hard is an admirable goal. You'll always struggle with mom guilt, even when they're grown and out of the house (we all do 💜), but it's so healthy that you can remind yourself in the moment that you're doing the right thing. Hell yeah!!

[@alexandrahaze]

Love this ❤

[@marandaatnip6173]

I can relate so hard to Maisy's face while everyone sings happy birthday! Lol

[@callmehcrystal2589]

I LOVE how Flynn thinks about the twins and their respective personalities when giving gifts or even something like the cakes! He’s so thoughtful, and he will definitely grow up to be a wonderful human being.

[@sophi5388]

omg i haven’t watched in litteraly like a month and the babies have grown so much! cutest babies for sure 🥹🥹

[@laylaroseclemons8069]

Same

[@thecarvalhome261]

Saaaaame

[@millymoo2472]

They were at the nicu 1 in a half ago but now they are completely different people Wesly crawls a LOT miss masiy makes sure she is in the vlog ❤❤

[@salmagarcia6405]

Same here too

[@CoriBrown85]

I wish I could see how the babies and Flynn are doing and see how much they have grown! Hearing the intro song made me so sad. Colleen's vlogs have been a part of my everyday life for 2 years. I looked forward to it every day. Its a weird dynamic fans have with their favorite youtuber. You feel like you know them and they are one of your family members you just see them on a screen in stead of real life. They mean so much to you but your fav youtuber does not know anything about you really. So its really a one-sided relationship. I am just sad and I wish Colleen and her family the best and I always will no matter what comes out in the future. ❤

[@cassiegarza8107]

Same here 😢😢I love you Colleen

[@rachaelbusby3940]

I am wheezing at Cory’s Maisy voiceover 😂😂😂😂😂

[@alexandralawson9578]

Flynn picks out “everything” 🫠

[@CaitW1987]

I love this book banned series. But if you don’t already have it I highly recommend Harold and the purple crayon! It was my brother’s favorite book growing up and I’ve read it in the past to kids and they looooove it. ❤

[@heatherbillpotter1266]

I will have to get this book for my 5 grandkids I have never heard of it. Thank you

[@rachelotremba8100]

I loved Harold and the Purple Crayon when I was little!

[@samasmillie357]

@@rachelotremba8100 I also read it when I was little

[@alvaflorida268]

I love Kory's voice overs! I also miss when Colleen and Kory try different drinks!

[@alexalovesnatalie]

Everything tastes like a shoe or a tire to colleen. 😂

[@christinastaikos9312]

Hey Colleen! Just wanted to say I started watching your vlogs regularly when I started my undergraduate degree and now 4 years later I just got accepted to medical school! Thank you so much for helping me destress every day with your daily life! Off to the next chapter ❤️

[@Frenziedgremlin]

Congratulations

[@elizabethkoobs1060]

CONGRATULATIONS!🎉🎉🎉

[@amandawurst4866]

Book recommendations: we LOVE the “The Pigeon” series. They are so funny and also semi interactive. The pigeon needs a bath is a really fun one. Thanks for all of the book ideas 💕

[@karolinepinkau3370]

Thank you for the book recommendations❤

[@rebjack2]

The twins' reactions are so genuine and wholesome! They always make me smile! And Flynn is so funny!

[@SophieTheSoft]

i ADORE the library tour, and would love if you did more

[@reneevillari9565]

I'm living for Maisy's look when you all start singing...her side eye gets me every time! Wonder if she silently judges everyone...hahaha

[@senpai1755]

Koko being Maisy's voice is by far my favorite, I laugh so hard everytime I hear it in a video

[@elizabethkoobs1060]

Kory is the BEST!🥇🏆🌟

[@elizabethm6127]

THANK YOU for recommending books! I love hearing you read them too! Also THE VOICEOVERS ARE SO GOOD. Its so cool to see the twins growing up before us! I would love to hear you talk about the changes in the babies personalities or likes or interests in the past 6 months!

[@little_miss_snushine]

I am so gonna do this for my future children!!! This is wonderful!❤

[@terrifendi]

You are THE most adorable family EVER 🥰 Happy 1.5 birthday Wesley and Maisy! 🥳

[@daniellenokes4182]

Gardening and books (and musical theater) are my favorite topics! My kids and I love the book "Duck! Rabbit!" "Z is for Moose" is a silly one my kids really like.

[@isabel.baezaa]

Hey Colleen!! My name is Isabel and I am 17. This is not a interesting cuestion, but I wanted to know if you opened you PObox latley, I sent something I made for maisy a long time ago, and idk if ir arrived well (im from Europe so it went a long way) and I am afraid she is going to grow out of it, but maybe it just got lost in the way and Im just worried about something that is never going to happen🥲 But anyways, I looove your vlogs and videos, they make my day everyday!! And you are the most incredible and wonderful woman!! 💕💖

[@hayleybullard4744]

Paper pie has tons of books I love for all my kiddos! You show definitely check them out. Tons of interactive books.

[@erwinignacio6453]

Happy half birthday to your twins Colleen, good morning!! Love the gifts for the twins. Love Kory's voice, so funny and cool. Hugs

[@kristilynne4229]

Maisy’s face expression during happy birthday song is meeeee! So cute

[@camieyoung5181]

The monster at the end of this book!!! The kids will love it and the voices are so fun!

[@som3one23]

So happy you're back ❤

[@norabryan2321]

I need a garden tour!!!! You live on the most beautiful land and I’m so curious about the flowers and food you grow ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ellykaufmann1269]

An interactive book that’s fun is “Never Touch a Dinosaur”! And one of my fav children’s books is “Room on The Broom” such a fun read!

[@sarahshizgal]

They are adorable ❤

[@lisabaldwin2370]

Love all of the creative things you do for the kids love kory he's great please take care of yourself love to all

[@harshagobinath9384]

Maise smiling at her brother is the sweetest thing ever!!

[@carlotaaguiar2881]

Hey Colleen! I love to see the variety of books you have for all the kids to learn! I never had a lot of books at home, but today I'm definitely a bookworm and love a really good book. For the kids: There's a book I saw the other day called "There's a Ghost in this House" By Oliver Jeffers, it's very creative and it's an excellent read to demystify childhood fears!!

[@hcoddington]

The Monster at the End of this Book was my daughter's favorite! Such a great interactive book.

[@christymclean7363]

Stir Crack Whisk Bake is a great interactive book!!! It goes through the steps of baking cupcakes.

[@madeleinereads]

Kory's voice overs always get me! They're hilarious! LOL.

[@chloeclevidence8211]

I love the difference between Maisy and Wesley’s facial expressions. I feel like Wesley has a resting curious face, and Maisy has resting “I’m judging you” face. Also the way her little scowl turns into a huge smile is so cute.

[@whatsupmoms5856]

Coming to your shower I’m so excited

[@bcgrote]

Classic baby book for generations - Pat The Bunny! Richard Scarry books are very fun.

[@Inezcarina]

Yes!!!! Most of those books are what we have at our learning center(daycare)

[@diosesamor5506]

Happy Birthday Twins

[@AmberNeve1993]

Can I just say, I think it is so beautiful that you have this huge room full of books, it’s so important that we keep books and the imagination from books for children, especially books like this it’s so important to teach young children that it is ok to be yourself. So proud of you Colleen 🤍

[@mashaytaylor9364]

When I was younger I loved the book “the monster at the end of this book” it’s a Sesame Street book and from what I remember it’s interactive and I think Flynn would love it!

[@emmawiberg9314]

I've always loved The Monster At the End of This Book with Grover. I got it for my son and he loves it too 😊

[@ToRiHale]

Thanks for the books and toy recommendations I have a friends baby shower coming up, I will have to get her a few of them!

[@Byebyebeens]

Some of my FAVOURITE books as a teacher are the Elephant and Piggie stories by Mo Willems! Theres sooo many to choose from, but my favourite is “We Are in a Book” the characters become self aware that they’re in a book and it’s so dramatic😂 I loved to change my voice and make everything so dramatic and my students were OBSESSED! They asked to read it every Friday for months😂 more good ones are “There is a Bird on Your Head” “Let’s go for a Drive” “I Really Like Slop”

[@Byebyebeens]

“The Colour Monster” by Anna Llenas is also amazing! I was able to foster such great conversations about emotions and feelings! My students loved this one too!

[@laurenschenck5355]

You have the best garden ever and absolutely incredible and like a castle garden amazing ❤

[@kaylarevallion1725]

LOVE LOVE LOVED the indestructible books when my kids were little ❤

[@haleymarie7349]

my favorite interactive book recommendation is the monster at the end of this book!! its grover from sesame street and i used to love it

[@pinksky1467]

Kory and the cake...hilarious. Grow some corn for the chickens. Now you need two stools for you and Flynn Great books, thanks for sharing.

[@gracemitchell5798]

“The Little Train That Could” is a book I highly suggest! I LOVED this book when I was younger and I know they would too.

[@taylazimmerling7789]

All of those books made me so nostalgic!!

[@sylviaamavisca2867]

The Book without Pictures has a more interactive version… like a madlibs (where the kids fill in the words). My niece loves them both. Also, books by Mo Williems are amazing. All the pigeon and the piggy books. Funny and fun for the kids and adults reading them. My favorite book of all time is “The Next Place” it is a sweet way to deal with grief.

[@alicianorris9352]

My 2 boys absolutely LOVE the Pigeon books 😄 They're silly & they constantly break the 4th wall. I loved reading them as much as they loved listening to them! 🥰🥰

[@oliviaconforti6699]

They would love The Monster at the End of the Book! Its so funny , very interactive with Grover!

[@laurenschenck5355]

I love you queen so much thanks so much for everything and so sweet and inspirational and role model for your kids and family best auntie ❤

[@carriewilson3473]

I love that you are talking about banned childrens books! I work at a public library, and a lot of the books in general you mentioned are ones that are always checked out. It's always so sad to learn about the books that have been banned in places, the todd parr family book and all his other books are really good books, he has ones about brothers and sisters as well.

[@CanadianOne]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANGELS

You should make amazon lists of like fav kids books, fav kids products or toys, fav beauty products, etc

My kids love the poke a dot books!! And please do all the book recommendations that you can. My kiddos love books and I just want to keep it going.

[@claudiacruz3936]

TTQ: could you show us what kind of vocal warm-ups and techniques you learned with your new vocal coach? I know you said that you learned new things you hadn't learned in all of your musical training. I think it'd be super cool to see!

[@kimberlyzentz5639]

Love your book suggestions. Fellow twin mom here... One other interactive book my kids loved is The Monster at the End of this Book (and the sequel) and if you haven't read Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site I think your kids would all love that too. 🥰

[@AfikiJ]

All of the Piggie and Gerald books are great. They have an interactive one called Thank You Reader

[@user-ik1sr9pg7z]

HIGHLY recommend Dragons Love Tacos! Someone got it for my baby shower and I am OBSESSED! So much fun!

[@ccccassandra]

Chalk- By Bill Thompson is a super cute picture book with no words that i feel like you and maisy will appreciate since you can make up the story as you look at the pictures.

[@patriciaseeger3276]

I love you and your family so much

I'm a primary school teacher in training from Germany and I enjoy the books from Julia Donaldson, like The Gruffelo or Room on the broom. The children also love Froggy gets dressed by Jonathan London :) Definitely hoping for more book recommendations :)

I’m so happy Elmo is still cool. Lol. Been awhile my kids are 13 and 17 but we totally rocked the Elmo.

[@stormyjayne]

Hi Colleen. My kids loved the "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus" series. It's very interactive. Much love to you and your family.

[@mckenna.lynn08]

TTQ: how often/when does your nanny come? Like on a schedule or just whenever you ask her? Love you Colleen!!

[@madiarabella2589]

I’ve always wondered too! I wish I could get a nanny on the harder days!

[@KorinaKina]

Maybe she lives with them... Assuming they have the same nanny they had in LA....

[@thebestestoneever]

@@KorinaKina I asked this on a vlog just after they moved. So curious, lol

[@heather4190]

as a single parent, Colleen having her mom, Kory, and Eric would be a dream in itself despite having a nanny tooo 😮

[@Minkfang]

@@heather4190 she probably complains about how hard parenting is more than any single parent

[@silnavji]

Love the very hungry caterpillar 🐛 😂😂❤❤ and cat in the hat books are great!

[@sempe4661]

Twin mama here, with a love for books!Colleen, my kiddos loved Andy Lee's "Do not open this book". He is an australian comedian and has writen 7 books in the series. Very similar to the one you've shown "Dont push the button".

[@maddieagius5947]

I'll second that! Very funny books!

[@bejeweled1389]

i loves watching your book recommendations. when i was in elementary we had a reading week and parents would come in and read children books to us. i absoutaly loved it and looked forward to it every year. a lot of the books you mentioned i have memories of parents of friends and my parents reading them to us. this brought back so many memories. thank you colleen. i love watching your vlogs and love that these books are bringing your cute little fanily joy as well. sending you lots of love🤍
