I JUST GOT THE MOST EXCITING NEWS EVER! 

I got some very exciting news at the end of the vlog today! But before that, I talk about my eyebrow blindness, my new craft obsession, and we go to the zoo! Make sure to leave questions for Tortilla Talk Tuesday! 💜

Tortilla talk question: Hello Colleen, I know you have dermatillomania. My 14 year old daughter has depression and anxiety. She is a nail bitter since she was 5, but recently I saw she has bandaids on her finger and is picking at her skin. I don't know what to do. My 1st instinct was to hell her stop doing that it's all in ur mind you can stop. But I know it must not be that easy. How do I support her. Can I please get some advice. From a very concern mother.

Yooo, Colleen!!!! Don't be down on yourself, calling your felt creations a "waste of time"! You're HAND CRAFTING TOYS for your children. They will induce lots of creativity and imagination in your children! It's not a waste of time, but a GREAT TIME WORTHY new hobby! What a win for Flynn, that he's got a mom who cares so much about his interests to MAKE for him, his custom cuddlefish. I think it's goals that you are such a crafty person.

Maisey helping you fold laundry was so cute I just ❤her infectious little laugh

Eff the mess...those babies are SO FREAKING HAPPY! I'm choosing felt toys ALL DAY EVERYDAY! ❤

TTQ: Sense you now have watched the eras tour. If you were to ever do your own tour again, would you change any of it. And if so, what would you change?

Colleen, I’m an early childhood teacher and I am so impressed by your kiddos. Your children have amazing communication skills, play skills, and (at least within your family) social skills. Parents are their kids’ first teachers and you are doing an awesome job!

TTQ- do you have any planned projects coming up or are you working on anything?? 💕

TTQ ... why do you not do dance parties with you and Erik and the kids 16:08 like you used to? Love them and miss them so much!! Also you are so talented making all the felt things. Love how when you put your mind to things you just do it !!❤ You are so amazing and talented .Maybe one day you will go on tour again!!💖

You may have answered this before but will you ever come out with more Colleen lipstick or can I buy it from somewhere? It was my favorite lipstick shade ever and I’m completely out. I can’t find one that’s even close.

now you gotta make a worm for wes!

Aww Flynn will absolutely love the class!! How exciting for him he gets to hyper-fixate and learn his new fav obsession!!!! 🐙

I’m loving what you’re making with the felt!! Don’t stop! TTQ: are you going to get back out into some small acting roles?

not wasted time at all!!!! your puppets are the BEST!!!!!! you need MORE felt!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 also i LOVED the eyebrow conversation!!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

I would love to see how you did Maisy's hair. Short straight hair like that seems impossible to braid.

TTQ: are you planning to go to lions games this year?

Now you have to make them a stage for a puppet show with a curtain.. maybe a cardboard box? and have the Twins make a puppet show!

tortilla talk question: what’s been your highlight of 2024 so far? what’s been your least favorite part? i love you colleen and wish the best for you and your family and i’m such a big fan 💕

Tortilla talk question can you talk about the things that you like or dislike about your current house and do you see yourself staying there as your forever home?

Here's the thing about felt. When you find a really 'unique' color or pattern....buy ALL of it. Because those selections get retired quickly.

I just wanted to say TY for your idea about giving your kiddos your baby blanket when you traveled. My daughter is absolutely hooked on me right now and I gave her a magic pillow to take on a sleepover at her grandparents house and it helped soooooo much!!

TTQ @colleen I thought your most exciting news ever was that you are taking Erik to the Eras tour in Vancouver! Are you going to make that happen?

Flynn won his Grammy for his number one hit song, “Cinnamon Roll?” & Daisy hit one million subscribers on her own vlog channel? 😊💜

Omg omg omg...Maisey helping her super creative mom fold clothes is the absolute best thing I watched today❣️😊🦚😊❣️

PLEASE show Flynn's reaction to the news!!!

I have always known that Flynn was a smart human. I could see it when he was talking in full sentences at 2! He has an amazing mind. Maybe he has some of Erik's Dad's genius-ness in his genes!

Eyebrows are embarrassing for all of us!! I had beautiful full eye brows but is the 80-90’s they needed to be thinner and now I am sorry that I have no eyebrows.

This video, as silly as it sounds, truly made my day. Every single vlog you post really does make my day and make me feel better from anything that brought me down. Thank you Colleen❤❤❤

Colleen, I know you always say you don’t think the kids look like you. But that baby picture at 4:11 I can see Maisy and Flynn. I think Flynn got your eye shape, and maybe even lips. And I think Maisy got your nose!

Am I the only one that wants Colleen to make me something out of felt to? Absolutely loving Mr. Gus and Daisy girl! You’re the bomb when it comes to random crafts I swear. Love it, and love you! Keep making ppl smile on a daily because you are beyond great at it. 💕

Tortilla talk question: Did you ever have your big wedding party? 😂 Love ur channel always makes my day

My wife was the same, she like me is a red head and has the lightest brows I've ever seen. She however kept with them and never drew eyebrows on. She just looked like she doesn't even have them unless you look close.

Ttq: Have you watched the movie theater camp?

Aww Coleen I just had to pause this to look at photos of miranda. Now im concentrating on her eyebrows- theyre not ridiculous or big or whatever you're nervous about its Miranda's expression that gives that appearance. You scrunch your forehead up so much for her. I feel sad that you're conscious of your brows. You have beautiful dark hair. You dont need to worry about them. They have never drawn my attention. I just think youre really pretty 😊 x

TT?.... How did Miranda start - how did you create her? Is she done? Do you think you will tour again as her someday?

Omg your hand made felt puppets are amazing!!! They are all super cute Daisy is my favorite!! You are seriously the best Mommy ever!! So sweet that the twins love the zoo! Maisey folding clothes is so cute and honestly does it matter how they are folded? If it does then show her I bet she would pick it up immediately she is very smart all of your kids are!! So happy for you and Flynn to have him experience a class on his favorite subject…let’s hope it doesn’t change to something else before the morning 😂Eyebrows girl same I took my big brows down to nothing in the 90s😭now sporadic hairs grow but not where they are supposed to! I’ve tried everything and they remain sad so…I do the best I can but 😂I also cut off all of my eyelashes as a kid and of course cut my long hair off …just one side though 😂why won’t eyebrow hairs grow back like regular hair does??

not me enjoying my natural brows like all my life lol 😂 never got into "beauty trends"

Those toys you made are amazing so talented ❤

The puppets bring the kids so much joy, they are not a waste of time. Eyebrow trends come & go, please be kinder to yourself. I still love all of your rock content!!!

At the age of 4, my daughter became OBSESSED with siphonophores. Pronounced SIGH-FAWN-A-FOUR. It’s really cool. It’s not even technically its own animal, it’s marine organism that is made up of a bunch of other creatures in a microcosm. So far something like 175 species have been found to come together and work together to hunt, eat, digest, rest, and move, etc. They are very cool, but when she first started talking about it, it took me so long to figure out the spelling because in scientific terms it could have started with a Psy, Psi, Si, Sy, Cy, Ci, etc as a prefix. But we figured it out. I love that Flynn is interested in unique things. That’s awesome.

TTQ…. Sort of. Colleen, your hair at the start of the vlog… so cute and fluffy! Was it just natural.? If so, hair problems… over! I used to make felt stuff for my kids when they were little. ❤❤❤memories!

Flynn with his Love/obsession of Cuttlefish is like his Mamas Love/obsession of Rocks etc.& Daisys love for stealing the spotlight!! 🥰💜

TTQ: Describe your absolute perfect day! I imagine lots of rocks and your kiddos! ❤ But I would LOVE to hear you talk about it a bit! Thank you for posting! I love your videos! You are a wonderful Momma and creator! Keep pushing on sis!

I hope you film telling Flynn!

😳😳😳😳omg how do you not have a Etsy shop like for real your sooo good at making thinkings

Missy is such a girl and telling Wesley what to do…lol😂

Tortilla talk question Are you and Erik ever planning on taking a crusie trip together one day? 😘😘

Tortilla talk question: hi Colleen I love your videos so much. Im rewatching your seasons of etn and was just wondering if you could talk about the experience:)

Those felt puppets were cool looking. I'm glad Maisy likes them. I'm sure your other kids will too. Also Maisy is doing a really good job at folding those pants. Such a great helper.

Can you link me to your romper?

That is so funny that you were talking about your eyebrows! I also thought they were "Miranda brows" omg !!!! But we also have to remember that those big blocky brows were in style 10 years ago!!! It is so funny to see how eyebrow trends change every decade.

I love you Colleen. My kids getting a great opportunity makes me so happy too 😊

Ok how are you SO amazing at all things crafty?!?! It's not fair lol😂 Those felt puppets, the ladybug & octopuses are toooo cute! So good!

I know you have gone through so much and you have achieved so much from it. I was wondering are you going to bring Miranda back in the world?

Omg your Daisy puppet is on point!! 😂

Love the felt puppets! ❤Great job! Certainly not a waste of time! 😊 I'm so happy for Flynn. He's going to love that class, yay! 😊

Those puppets literally look like your cats 😂

Oh my God, I totally thought that the eyebrows were part of Miranda

I love you Colleen! The dolls and puppets are brilliant. Could you get a company to reproduce your charming homemade look and sell them as merchandise? Colleen, Maisy's work doesn't need refolded.

Dang girl the twins are talking so good !!! Love it ! My daughter was the same way.

That baby picture of you at 4:11 Flynn looks exactly like you when you were a baby.

Girl your hair looked beautiful in the beginning of the video

you BEEEEEEEEEN wearing rompers for years 😂

People would ask to touch your eyebrow? Lol. I would have had to ask them to leave. Lol

Love knowing I was here for the beginning of Flynn’s future endeavors as a marine biologist saving the planet one cephalopod at a time! 🥰

Maisy laughing at you for asking about her farting because of the smell reminds me of the story about how you love to trap people in the car with your farts and wait for them to notice 😂😂😂. Like mother like daughter 😂

Hope you had a amazing 4th of July weekend Colleen ❤😊❤🩵

TTQ: do you have any recommendations for eye brow combs, or makeup for someone whose eyebrows are very patchy and wacky? My eyebrows constantly want to “seperate” and look shaggy. I have a comb for them, but as much as I use that my eyebrows still end up looking very shaggy. Hope you can help. Love your videos. Your family is so sweet.

TTQ: are you planning on taking the twins to that farm AirBnB ?

Just a friendly reminder to change the battery in your clock on the wall 🥰😂🤪

TTQ: Have you ever considered writing a book about your life experiences as a RU-vidr, transition to motherhood, etc.? I would absolutely buy it if you ever decide to pursue writing. ✍🏻 ❤

Hi Colleen! I have a cold right now and your vlogs make me so happy and i love waking up in the morning and watching them! Love you queen! 💖

Congratulations on Flynn getting into the cepholopod class!

Truthfully..how are you? I pray for you all the time. You are a blesssed Mama but I know sometimes hard to feel and see it….

I would love to know HOW people thought to mention your eyebrows at your meet and greet because I was so like starstruck I just babbled lol

TTTQ: Colleen we all have gone thru our own eye brow journeys… it’s an ever evolving discovery lol. Would you ever consider having a professional eye brow person come to your home and do a tutorial on threading and filling in? I’ve been confused about this process my whole life. People have mentioned the same things to me before… asking me why my brows are either too thin, or too thick when I fill them in. Also I don’t blame u at all about the microblading. Is there even such a thing as “a professional eye brow person that can make house calls?” LOL

How can Colleen say she isn’t talented?!?! Those cuttlefish are 💣!!!!

TTQ: Hi Coleen. I really admired you sharing that vulnerable moment on the 4th of July last year. Thank you for having such courage, I want you to know that it touches so many hearts, and I really hope you remember that. My question is, do you miss sharing more of your raw emotions and moments in your vlogs like you used to do, or do you feel like you had to put boundaries in that sense to protect yourself? Do you think you’d want to share more as time goes on? The vlogs of you sharing vulnerably about depression have really helped me feel understood and I do miss that sense in your vlogs ❤ Of course, I hope you do what’s best for you and your family❤️ All love❤️

Tortilla talk question: what is the hardest part about not doing tour?

Exciting news is the best. Cant wait to hear it

Your felt creations were so creative and wonderful! Creating something is never wasted time, in my opinion! That class is going to be epic. The timing is perfect!

You should sell those puppets they're so good!!!! Altho I bet they have spiderwebs coming from them (ie. hot glue strings!) ! So clever x

Tortilla talk question Are you scared of thunderstorms?? Xoxo 😘

I've given in and ordered a romper

The cuddle fish and lady bug are adorable!!!❤❤

I too wear the same rompers every week. Just different colors. And I refuse to apologize for it 😂

I wish my craft skills were as good as yours! Those puppets are super cute, and with the edit it feels like you made those in 2 seconds 😂

Ttq will you be in escape the night move

Your BROWS are AMAZING GUURL❤

Just wanted to say that I absolutely love how your hair looks at the beginning of the vlog when you said you hadn’t done it yet. As someone with fine, thinning hair at 42, I would love to have your thick curls. Embrace the crazy curls! ❤

Colleen!!! i can't believe you talked about your eyebrow journey and didn't mention the time everyone used to comment under your videos saying they looked like sperm cells 😭😂😂😂😂

Awww that is so sweet of maisy helping you with laundry 🩵🩵🩵🌺🌺

Ttq: How did you and Eric meet? Love your family so much you helped me in a hard time in life I thought I was not worth the time to live so thank you so much

TTQ: 1. will you ever be able to share which Broadway show you were unable to do? I didn't know about Waitress till you so I wanted to see but idk anything about disclosures or whatever. 2. Do you have any holiday traditions you have passed on from your family or Eric/k 's and do you have any new traditions you have made for your own family? Love you and your family so much. Always praying for you!

The felt cuttlefish are incredible! You could totally sell them ☺️

I think Flynn will be teaching the experts as he is so knowledgeable!😃 The glove puppets are fab, I love the lion one!Xx

I love your puppets! I thought I wanted to make puppets and be a puppeteer, I even had my husband make me a puppet stage! Then my ADHD switched and I was on to the next thing! 😂

So early! Always love watching these vlogs late at night ❤

I seen someone do a video about doing henna on her eyebrows!! If you not into microblading.

TTQ: I’m looking into starting rock tumbling and wanted to ask what brand your vibratory tumbler is? And do you recommend it for beginners, or would you say that a tumbler is better to start off with. Also what was the biggest learning curve when you first started? Thank you for indulging my silly rock questions ❤️
