I BOUGHT A FANCY NEW CAR! ✨It sparkles!✨ 

Can I just say Flynn’s personality is so cute!

I have teens so during the slime era they were really into it. Here's our deal because we made it no joke almost daily since they home schooled. So forget all the Borax BS. The good recipe is this. 1 bottle of glue if colored than perfect or add food coloring with glue (than you get less staining in hands). Add about a 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to the colored glue Then add a nice 2 second squeeze of contact solution give or take and stir, stir, stir!!!! If the slime doesn't start to pull away from the edges of the bowl than add a little more contact solution and stir rapidly again. Repeat until slime starts to pull away from edge of the bowl and spoon than switch to kneading with your hands if it is too sticks to your hands add a smidge more solution right to your hand. (Do not add way to much or it will loose its elasticity and break.). Then you can choose to do add ons, like air clay and glitter or tons of other things. You can also add shaving cream at the glue stage. And my favorite trick to turn it therapeutic was to add essential oil fragrances that I enjoyed also during the beginning glue stage. So we used to do lavender and lemon or orange often.

I Love how proud Flynn was of himself when it came to the Father’s Day present he made for his Dad, & when He SCREAMED “I MADE IT!!” 🥰 Then when Wesley found the Cheerios, You were like, “You found the Cheerios!!” You, & Erik always encourages y’all’s babies in BIG, & small ways. Not to mention they encourage you both, they encourage one another, & others as well, I LOVE that So much!! I Love y’all so much!! 🥹💜

And now you've triggered my memory. I had the original Bathtime Fun Barbie from 1990 and had TOTALLY forgotten about it. That bathing suit, the foam skirt, the cannister of spray foam. WOW lol

People without children might not fully understand, but when we say to one of our kids selfmade gifts that it is the best thing we ever received, we genuinely mean it. ❤ Flynn did great job with the sunglass case.

TTQ: I know pre pandemic you and Eric were going to have a wedding celebration ..is that something you still think you’ll do?

The crunch of that slime is giving scissors on fabric at the craft store !!!!

Can you please show pictures of you and Eric at the same ages of your kids? What did you collect when you were a child?

THERE ARE NAMES FOR THE TEXTURES OF THE SLIMES!! ex. Cloud, butter, floam, glossy, water. You have to find the right texture for you!! ❤️

That jasper with agate triangle piece reminds me of candy corn! Especially with the line and darker orange tip

I love my Sienna too, it makes life so much easier! And it has so much room!

Awww your rocks are so Beautiful specially the blue ones!! Love the glass case Flynn made for Eric and how he helped you describe the inside of the car and the 2 of you together sooo sweet!💕

“Smells like college” 😂 That doesn’t make a whole lot of sense except I know EXACTLY what she means LOL

the slime colleen been getting was over active and sometimes under.. that why she didnt enjoy it but now she got one of the best brand copy slime, i knew she be on board xD sp colleen is a cloud and crunchy slime xD

That’s awesome that you’re doing what brings you joy!!

ok, is it just me, or have we all learned so much about rocks from Collen? Like when she shows a rock, I already know it's a jasper or agot ❤

I'm fairly certain that the blue rock is likely mixed with iron ore, except I can't explain how 😆 Iron ore is blackish and sparkly but it's a deeper grayish black when it's dry and black, black when it's wet. The sparkles shine the same way as glitter powder would.

I love how well he communicates

My daughter was obsessed with slime in middle school and she made it all the time. She was a pro! I was always buying elmers glue, contact lense cleaner and shaving cream. She would whip it up in minutes!

Flynn is just insanely smart.... Flynn has been intelligent since the day he was born. I love the way he speaks. Also, TTQ: have you ever noticed cuz I just can't get over how much Maisie looks like her cousin Bailey. #bigfan #loveyourfamily ❤

I love the sparkly Sienna!! ✨️

TTQ!! Would you ever consider giving away some of the rocks you have polished? Maybe a game we all could play to win.. or for people who donate to your fundraisers and such??

Colleen love the new car and Flynn did an amazing job sewing he really is growing up. Can we please get a house tour soon I love the architecture of the doorways and would love to see more.

The rocks at the very end are so satisfying

Tortilla talk: its my bday today (june 11) and i remember how you loved having bday parties growing up. What was your favorite theme that you had growing up for a party? I love you so much

Love how the blue rocks turned out. So pretty

TTQ: If your kids and Eric were rocks, which rock would they be and why?

That clip of Colleen saying Blue Rocks! I’m so excited! Made me smile sm omg such sweetness 🥰

Colleen!! I had a gourmet slime phase in 2019/2020 and it helped me so much with anxiety and fidgeting. It’s the best!! Also if it’s ever too sticky just get some Borax and add water and then add it to the slime slowly and it will fix it right up. Now I want to get back into slime 🥲

congratulations! your new car it looks nice

Omg they’re getting so big 😭❤️ they’re all still adorable as ever. So cute to see Flynn start to participate in videos with you 😊

At this rate you'll need to select rocks to return to the beach bc those beaches will be just sand pretty soon 😂

TTQ: How do the kids not wake up when you guys jam out or do any noisy activities? Me and the Husband sneak around our house like mice in the evenings, tip toe up the stairs, pee in the dark, headphones on etc 😂

I run hot and have sweaty hands so I can really only play with the slime that is a super crunchy chunky texture. It usually has less of the slime to get stuck to your hands and it's too busy getting stuck to whatever is making the crunchiness. It also sounds really great. Reminds me of my favorite kind of fireworks 🎉

colleen I hope you know your smile brings me so much joy, I am currently having a tough time and turning to your videos helps so much. you deserve the world, hope you’re doing well

19:00 Isn’t that the jacket that Flava flave gave you? 😂 That sounds so insane as I’m writing it, but I think I’ve heard you talk about it before and that he’s really nice. Can you tell us that story again?

Congrats on the new car! Tortilla talk question: what personality traits do you most value in a friend? ❤❤❤

Tortilla Talk question: What is your go to dinner for yourself and for your kids?

Tortilla talk question: Hey Colleen I just wanted to first let you know that your videos always make me feel so seen and heard when it comes to adhd. I was so sad when you stopped vlogging for that period of time I would come back every single day to see if you posted and I’m so glad you finally did. Watching your videos is the only thing helps me get out of my ADHD paralysis weirdly enough. Please keep posting! I wanted to ask you if you could do a video where you show how you get all of your vlogs done and your daily tasks done even though you do have ADHD

Ok, now I want some slime 😂 the triangular jasper reminds me of Nemo ☺️ and the blue rocks are beautiful!

TORTILLA TALK: what is your advice for someone (me) trying to transition babysitting/nannying from on the side into their full time job?

wow wonderful car wow perfect for a big family and famous people like collenne 🤩🤩

Okay I need to smell this slime. Because when you said foam, I was like wait... and then you said barbie and I was like go on... and then you said bath barbie and I was like I need to see these pix... and then I saw the pic... and I really feel like the memory is like RIGHT THERE and I need the smell to complete it 😂😂😂😂

The new car is beautiful, Colleen!😊😀💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙🌷💖🎇💖🎇💖🎇💖🎇💖🎇💖🎇💖🎇👍

I haven't watched your blogs in a year & the twins are so big n talking now!!! So cute

Colleen, you DO have a before image of the blue rocks, you showed them to us a few vlogs ago before they went in the tumbler! They were brighter blue then, but this finished color of blue is much more mysterious❤

**tortilla question** have you ever heard of Yooperlite??? I live in the U.P of Michigan and just found my first one! It glows under the black light and you can only find them near the Great Lakes! I can’t wait to go at night again with my black light and start collecting them!

You, laying on your stomach on the floor checking out rocks, is totally me!! I did all my homework that way all through school, read the newspaper (whats that?😂) that way. Yet another if the ten million ways we are alike. Every time in a video, when you say, does that make sense? I'm like "totally!!" or, I'm sure nobody else cares about this, I'm like, "I do!!" Im 20 yrs older than you, but I feel like you're my twin. Speaking of twins, my stepson shares Erik's birthday, including the year!!

My daughter has a couple peachybbies slimes and they really are the best. I HATE sticky slime, and theirs usually comes with an activator pen that you can spray to keep it from getting sticky.

So I have SEVERE anxiety lately and one of the only things that has been calming me down are slime SCOOP videos on tiktok. They rate the scoopability of slime. I really love the cloud looking slime scoops. I love the noises too. I don't get calm from the pull videos or squish videos - but the scoop videos- LOVE THEM! I really enjoyed watching you play with slime!

Tortilla Talk Question: Hey Colleen, do you still journal? Do you write about your kids' milestones etc? And also, could you show us your box of journals or tell us how many do you have?

TTQ: do you return items you buy and change your mind about or do you just take the loss? I’m especially asking about the middle of the night online orders you used to make 😅

Lavender one looks like a cloud slime. I think we used to make it with fake snow.

hey colleeen! have you ever thought about doing anything with your rocks? like maybe tumbling them and selling them on etsy at all?

TTQ - have you tried using the ghost equipment you got to try and see if you get any responses in any rooms in your house? Would love to see video footage of you trying to communicate with whatever is haunting your house 👻 Also the drums sounds you talk about happen a lot at the conjuring house!! They say they hear them playing in the woods behind the house and it gets louder and louder. Please tell us if there is anything else you have noticed activity wise!!

Tortilla Talk: I rarely comment on videos, but I had to get on here whenever you mentioned your skin picking and wanting a fidget toy for it. Colleen, PLEASE search up fluffy stuffiez. It is absolutely life-changing. You can pick their hair out. I buy one almost everytime I’m at Walmart.

❤Take care all.

At 16:22 i love how daisy pokes her little head into the bottom left corner lol so cute!

i had the SAME EXACT experience with the SAME EXACT group special from peachybbies slime! lol it literally was like watching me when i played with it. my 9yo daughter got that set for her birthday and i, too, never had a good experience with any other slime. now we are the proud owners of approximately 16 different slimes from that company (and counting - the come out with new ones every Friday... good luck!)

play with kinetic sand! that purple cow slime is slime and sand mixed in. so soft and satisfying!

Now if only there was a slime that could sound like fabric being cut at the store yessss queen 👸🏼

I CANT BELIEVE FLYNN MADE THAT!!! I am so impressed

The lavender cow is my favorite FEEL too !!

Omg the rocks are beautiful !!!! I love your new minivan maybe one day when it’s sunny you can a picture I can see the vision though like multicolor shimmer and midnight blue !! What name have you given the new car? The black slime sounded awesome like Pop Rocks almost 😂Flynn made an amazing Father’s Day present ! I love it so much I’m going to craft one too!! Get some felt satan and make a cute sunglass case🍄🌞🍄‍🟫

Hey girl, just a suggestion, but if you ever get the chance, please take your pink sapphire ring to the jewellers to make it a little smaller. It needs to be snug and tight on the finger, you should feel a good pressure to get it on and off like you need to walk it over the knuckle if that makes sense. It doesn’t feel tight or restricting when it’s on but it will stop it from falling to the pit side of your hand xxxxx

tortilla talk question: what else do you and erik bond over other than your kids and seaglass?

TTQ How do you cope with your anxiety/panic attacks? I see a therapist once a week, but I hold everything in until I ugly cry. I watch your videos and it helps me so much. I take care of my Grandpa full time and he is on hospice, and just found out my step Dad has stage 4 colon cancer. I know that's a lot. They say God won't give you more than you can handle, but watching you and your family makes me feel like a part of yours. I love you so much Colleen ❤️❤

TTQ: what are the things flynn and wes have in common? and what are the things flynn and maisy have in common?

tortilla talk question: does erik like olivia rodrigo's music and are you going with him to the concert?

Hi Colleen! I haven't had as much time to watch RU-vid because, well, life. But I miss watching your shenanigans and I still rewatch Haters Back Off when I can! I am so grateful for everything you've given the world ❤

Hey Colleen!! If you had to give advice to someone who wants ti start getting and collecting rocks, but i cant really spend lots of money, what products would you recomend or are the essentials to start with rocks?? I love you so so much!!! Big hugs!!! ❤️

Omggg the rock that you described as a dinosaur egg looks like a painting of the woods and a river. Like the bottom is a river of rocks and the top of the rock are yellowing autumn trees. Wow

TTQ: would you ever consider going to the family camp your brother and his family go to with the kiddos?

I wasn’t sure if you were right about the rocks being sodalite but I was wrong. The rocks are definitely 💯 sodalite

That is a beautiful collection of rocks!

If you purchase slime and it comes in the mail a little sticky you need to reactivate it it removes the stickiness to it. Something about the heat during transit causes it to melt a tad.

TTQ Lots of kids say things about "when I used to be big" and mention past life experiences, when they're around 2-3 yrs old. Have any of your kids ever said, anything like that, that just made you stop and go "oh, wow!"?

To help with my skin picking I put elmers glue on my hands (just a little) let it dry and pick that off. It satisfies the urge to pick with any pain.

I love how you and flynn have the EXACT same mouth, only his is in miniature. It's so cute to see how genetics work because he still looks like a mini Carrot. 🥕

That slime company is so good!! I love watching their videos….i think even Kim K has bought from them before. I’ve bought 2 slimes from them and loved em

😂😂😂 Not Daisy sneaking her it into frame at 16:22 😂😂😸

Not Colleen being more excited for her rocks than her new car 😭😭🤣💗

Colleen! You read my comment last time reminding you that you said you were gonna do an updated reaction to the psychic video, and you said you forgot but you were still gonna do it. Did you forget again? WHERE IS IT 😂 I wanna see it so bad!

I got lavender cow too but like two years ago!! Sooo good.

I could listen to you talk about rocks all day .....

You should boil some water (half a liter) with ~4 table spoons of flaxseed in it. The feeling of the gel you make is heavenly.

I had that Barbie with foam, too!

Have you ever looked at any of your rocks with a UV Blacklight? Rocks that contain fluorescent minerals like Fluorite, Sodalite, Calcite, etc. will glow Pink, Red, Orange or Gold under UltraViolet light. I would love to see if your blue rocks glow!

LOL!!! "Baby" axolotl..... Im laughing cause axolotls are in their "baby" phase their whole lives...

Hi Colleen. Love your videos. Keep up the amazing rock content.

Question: Where do you keep/store/display all of those beautiful rocks?

i really love when you show the rocks set up at the end 🥹🤩

Great job on the sunglasses case, Flynn!!❤

I HATE slime! lol But i do LOVE floam! you just gotta find the right texture. haha

can't wait to see what car you got!!!!!

Watching this at the airport as I wait to board my flight back home from LA been in Disneyland and Santa Monica Pier

Congratulations on ur new car Colleen so stunning!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Can anyone tell me the make & model of the mini van? We're looking for one just like that!

TTQ have you tried crazy Aaron's hide inside putty. You might enjoy picking the charms out of it too.

TTQ: Have you ever heard of B.C. Ocean Picture Stone? It has VERY vibrant blue coloring. Most pieces of it look just like the beach!
