TRYING WEIRD 7/11 SNACKS AND CANDY! 

When I was in middle school I was depressed, and I had a friend who was in high school whose mother was dying of cancer. I told her I felt bad that I was venting to her when what she was going through was so much worse. She told me, "If you take away a bottle from a baby, that's the worst pain in the world for that baby. It doesn't really matter what the cause is, what matters is that you feel pain." I've always remembered that.

Colleen telling Flynn “thanks for telling me you don’t like it” is the most validating amazing thing ever, I really wish someone would’ve said that to me growing up

Flynn is gonna grow up to be so respectful and kind, it makes me happy.

Flynn’s “I don’t like it” sounded like Chris Evans when he says “I don’t wike it”😂😍

Colleen offering her hand for Flynn's half chewed foods is the most mummy thing to do and it's so sweet considering she doesn't like yucky messy things

flynn is talking in full sentences now and it’s so cute 🥺

I really appreciate Colleen talking about her miscarriage. I miscarried a few weeks after Colleen announced hers, still waiting for my period and really dreading it. It’s been really comforting to not feel alone through this time.

Ok someone needs to make a compilation video of all of Flynn's dances combined, where we can see him grow and his moves get even more awesome

The way Flynn said "I don't like it" after the pineapple drink made my heart full 🥺

I love the way colleen talks to flynn 😭 i like how she allows him to express how he feels and accepts what he likes and doesn't like ughh

honestly, the fact that you get on here & get so vulnerable in front of so many is dope as hell. ever since i started watching you way back when, i have noticed how strong & smart & kind you are. & it’s empowering that you’re able to come on here & talk about your pain the way you do. it makes me feel very seen & it gives a platform for mental health. you’re doing a good thing & i’m really amazed & thankful for you doing this.

I’m 23 and have watched Colleen for YEARS and I just want to say I’m not a mum yet but really want to be! I had an abusive upbringing and Colleen has shown me what kind of parent I want to be and I’ve learnt so much! This looks like such a genuinely happy family and I CANNOT wait for this part of my life! You’re an inspiration to so many. ❤️

It was so cute when Flynn said "I don't like it" to the soda!

Watching Colleen talking about her emotions is literally the only reason I've started to open up. She's changing lives with every vlog

“I don’t wike it” Omg he’s so darn cute

Why is Flynn so freaking adorable 🥰 I literally just can’t

Flynn is talking so good now. Flynn saying "i dont like it" was the most adorable thing ever. He is so smart. Sending hugs and prayers.

Flynn is so blessed to have a mother and father like colleen and Erik.

The fact that Colleen is even reading the comments after all the trauma that she has been trough, is so brave of her, I’m so happy and proud of u girl. We love u, and we’re here for u🤍

When she read the comment that said "that baby was your baby the moment you knew you were pregnant" , Man that made my throat knot up and immediately made me want to cry. I felt that to my core. I haven't experienced that loss but I am a mom.

I honestly like how she asked Flynn if he wanted to eat the gummies or not instead of making him try it

Flynn is so cute like actually i feel like he never cries even though he probably does

When you realize “the surprise for someone else” was for Erik and it was the pregnancy announcement 🥺

I freaking love Flynn. He’s the cutest little gentleman out there. I really want to give you a hug Colleen, lots of hugs

Flynn has the BEST manners I have ever seen in a toddler. Like ever. He is so awesome.

Does anyone else notice that colleen and Flynn have been matching since that one vid abt Flynn controlling colleens day 😭😭😭❤️

when Flynn said “I don’t wike it” I DIED HE IS SO CUTE

Twitter is like the burn book. Everyone goes there to dish on everyone else’s problems. Surround yourself with the community that makes you feel safe.

Colleen’s version of weird snacks is like an everyday thing for me Each Friday my mom goes to 7/11 to get us new snacks (since we can’t really leave the house) and the ones we end up liking she buys for our movie night at the end of each month

Your vlogs have literally become part of my night time routine

Flynn and colleen’s matching hoodies are adorable!

The way you are raising Flynn is beautiful, you’re such a great mama ❤️

So thankful she finally started reading the youtube comments as I feel like we're the most supportive group she has; we've been saying for months that she doesn't need to compare her trauma to someone else's & just needs to process her own. ♥

Colleen’s vlogs are my favorite part of the day! No joke 😂😂

Aww big hugs. I love the way you and Flynn interact. You’re such an incredible mom Colleen!

Your feelings are valid Colleen. A loss is a loss and it's devastating losing someone you love. You lost your baby and that is so hard. Hang in there. Love you

“i don’t wike iittt” 😭 he’s so cute

Writing this comment hoping you see it while you’re filming Wednesday’s vlog! Haha Your baby was real to you the second you saw that second line. It doesn’t matter how far along you were and it doesn’t diminish your grief. Yesterday’s vlog, the second you said “I got my period” my heart broke for you and I knew what you meant without you having to say anything else. Yes, what is happening to you is 100% normal. Here for you sending prayers, positive thoughts, and lots of virtual hugs💜 Thank you for being so real and honest, and teaching so many girls and woman that it’s okay to talk about their pain.

I love how you push through your fears to share from the heart! It makes how I feel somehow seem ok, because by you sharing your experience helps me to not feel alone. 💓

I’m so glad you get the support you need and much deserve! I’ve not been through that, but hold so much compassion for those that have, including some very close to me. You are loved! And so strong, resilient and inspiring. Thank you for being open. Much respect and love! 💗

To everyone reading this: stay safe and healthy during this time😀😁

I love that Colleen is so open with us, it just shows how much of a beautiful and kind person she is, I just hope she knows that she is never alone and it’s not annoying hearing her talk and that we want to be able to support her and help in any way possible x

Colleen, I don't know if you are ever going to see this, but I'm 15 and I have 2sister and 1 brother, and my mom lost her first baby like 1 month after he was born, cause he had a heart problem, the she had a miscarriage when she was like 2 months pregnant of her 2nd baby, then she had my oldest sister she that is still alive hahaha, then my second oldest sister, the another miscarriage, then me, then another miscarriage, and the my little brother, and I mean it's super super sad for her and for us that we have 3 siblings that we will never know, but on the bright side we are a beautiful family that is very happy and we have to look at the bright side, life is too short to be looking at all of the bad things that happen. I'm sure that in some time you will be much better, you just need some time. Love you so so so much😘😘🥺❤️❤️ I wanted this to be a positive comment, but maybe it came out negative I'm not sure, but I hope it was good or helpful for someone.

Just realized that Colleen has been vlogging for a year. She was with me at the beginning of the pandemic and she’s here now. I just started working full time at a pharmacy and was stressed beyond words being an essential worker with little to no breaks. But when I had just a moment of peace, I tuned in on the daily vlog. I sincerely thank you, Colleen for being here with us and I hope I was able to do the same. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Anyone else notice Colleen and Flynn matching outfits? That's so adorable

When Flynn answered "Yes." when eating the candy he was like an actual person. It was so cute :)

I love how Flynn liked everything and Colleen hated everything lol love y’all!

4:00 Flynn trying all the candy is soo cute he is so well mannered love him

You might not read this but your recent farm trip inspired me. I showed the vlogs to my husband because he loves goats and ducks. Then I found I an airbnb near us that is a cabin on a farm and my husband and I plan on going there for our 3 year wedding anniversary in May. I'll be thinking of you and your fun vlogs while looking at all the animals on the farm. You are an amazing beautiful person and I'm so sorry you are going through so much right now. Sending you so much love. I just wanted you to know that you and your vlogs inspire me every day. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your week.

FLYN IS SO GROWN UP NOW!!! Sending all my love❤️❤️

Colleen you are such an amazing mom. You ALWAYS are doing something with Flynn. You come up with projects to do together and he’s just always your priority. He is such a happy boy. It fills my heart with such happiness watching you with him. And Eric is an amazing dad too. You guys are just so amazing. If every parent were like you guys this world would have a bright future bc the children would be raised to love one another, be acceptable of everyone and would have such good morales. I am so sorry to hear about your tragedy, I wish I could give you a big hug. I’m watching the video where the caterpillars turned into butterflies and I can’t stop smiling. Your son brings so much joy into our lives. Thank you for sharing him with us.

Collen and Eric are literally the greatest parents to Flynn they are taking the responcebility of making Flynn's life as great as possible and there doing a fantastic job!🥰

“ stay positive even when it feels like your falling apart . you didn’t come this far to only come this far “

Flynn is so cute! His words are so clear and his vocabulary has expanded majorly!❤

5:48 he’s TOO cute & that was hilarious 😂😂 only love and positivity towards you and your family 💕

Colleen your such a trooper, love you so much, make sure to try to stay positive because the world is smiling down on you

Weird candy and snack videos are some of my fav vlogs ... you can never have too many “weird” foods 😂😂😂

Flynn is the cutest human being known to walk this earth awww

"..i dont wike it" HELP SO CUTE - how he sounds like he's sorry for not liking it 🥺🥺🥺

I love you and your kind heart!! Thank you for sharing your story, I’m so glad it has allowed you to be comforted and comfort others:)

my mom had two miscarriages, one before me and one before my younger brother. she has told me about the struggles and pain that she went through, along with my dad. she taught me how everyone’s feelings are valid and deserve to be heard. colleen, just because your miscarriage may have not been as later in the pregnancy than others, doesn’t change the fact that you went through such a difficult experience that anybody would say is absolutely devastating. it’s important to grieve. sending you all my love💜

You are a great mom Colleen most mothers don’t have time to spend with they’re kids bc of there jobs but every day you play with Flynn and paint and help him grow with you and I just feel like a had to say that. Love you ❤️

I absolutely love how youve brought up Flynn!! Youre an amazing mom Colleen!!

colleen, im sending you virtual hug because you deserve one for being so brave and strong. we love you xx

Colleen every time she eats hot cheetos: "I've never had these before" Hahaha

Colleen cool fact. People say whenever you see a dragonfly, it’s the reincarnation of your lost loved one, visiting you and going to heaven🥺 I lost my uncle to suicide, and whenever I see a dragonfly I smile

We all love you colleen. We are each others support system during these hard times. Ive been going through so much emotionally & your vlogs are the best part of my day and i look forward to watch them every day knowing it’ll make me feel better. Just watching you and Flynn laugh and have a good time is the best.

your vlogs are apart of my nighttime routine , i get into my pjs and wash my face & teeth then i come here straight after. youre amazing i love you so much colleen!!

Tomorrow is April! I hope Colleen vlogs, but if she doesn’t want to, of course that is understandable.

You could see the exact moment that the candy rush hit while Flynn was painting lol. He is such a sweet little person.

I will forever love your Chanel. I’ve watched you go through so much that I know you can get through this🥺🤍 love you so much Colleen

I honestly appreciate how much she shows her emotions online. So many people don't have the same strength to be so vulnerable. Thanks, Colleen, for sharing the good and the bad. We want to be here for you whenever we can

i really could be going through the worst day possible and watching her and flynn is the best part of my day to be completely honest! i love y’all! feel better girl! my mom had a miscarriage.. ik i can NOT come pair to what your going through. the miscarriage was a baby girl and i wish we had her around, it’s been around 4 years now. i miss her each and everyday! a loss is a loss no matter how long it’s been or anything like that, you are going through your battle. battle your battle then you can feel bad for someone else! but love you! *hugs hugs* ♥️♥️♥️

“I don’t like it” Aww Flynn!!!! 🥺🥺🥺

Flynn talks SO well my goodness. I love how well he enunciates so many words and still says “water” in his silly way. Sooo cute 🥰

Dang Colleen you're picky about your candy!!! I've never met a candy I didn't like lol

you show such a stronger powerful side of you on YT. thank you for making me smile

I love Flynn and Colleen’s relasonship like I know of course like there mother and son but like the way she offerd her hand to Flynn so he could spit out the food is so sweet and she just is so kind and gentle Flynn has no idea how much of an amazing mother he has

I'm so happy the comments have been comforting to you! You are NOT annoying, Colleen! You are genuine and you are helping so many others by talking about your loss openly. You'll get through this! And don't give up on finding a good therapist again. It will be worth the exhausting process once you get a good one ❤

Colleen really is just such a great mom. You can tell because of just how adorable and kind Flynn is.

Colleen, thank you so so much for the accurate subtitles, you've no idea how much it helps you deserve the world's happiness

its ok to be sad and cry. thank you for sharing your life, the good and the bad. it normalizes struggle within celebrities and influencers. and by you talking about your struggles in the vlogs can show people that it's ok to speak up. i don't know what you're going through, but what i do know is that your feelings are so valid. you are strong and amazing. sending much love ❤️

My heart just dropped when she said my name and read my comment omg!

Hi Colleen! Not sure if you're gonna read this or not but, I watch your vlogs everyday after school and seeing you and Flynn literally make my days better, thank you so much for what you do. Also, for anyone and everyone reading this, I want you to know you're loved and you're amazing! Most importantly, you're not alone. Also back in 2019, when I was getting bullied a lot, I would end up you know having breakdowns and when I watched your videos, they made me laugh and you made me feel better, so I thank you so so much. I love how much you're honest and real with us because that helps me to know that I am not alone. I love how much you talk about what you're going through and how loving and caring you are. Don't mind all the negative people out there, you're amazing just the way you are! Sorry this was such a long comment, I just have lots to say, anyway I love you Colleen! Also (sorry I know I write a lot) you're such an amazing mom!! Thank you for everything you do.

OMG Colleen you're such a mom, LOVE THAT! ❤️

This blog is adorable I aspire to have the kind of relationship you and Flynn have! Also the dance party clip made my heart grow 2 sizes haha 💖

IM SO OBSESSED WITH UR VLOGS OML-

Collen: trying weird 7/11 snacks Me:👁️👄👁️ me looking at the thumbnail with all my favorite snacks

I love watching your videos I been depressed lately ,but watching your videos makes me happy. Thank you so so so much for making me very happy by your videos. And btw u are not annoying and ur never annoying. ❤️

I love how she says “ this person” and not “ this woman” this is so nice of her ❤️ also Flynn is the cutest ❤️

Don't not be sad because someone else is sadder, I saw a quote one time it said "Saying someone can't be sad because someone may have it worse is like saying someone can't be happy someone else might have it better."

Colleen is hands down the most down to earth person on this platform💕

Congratulations on 1k videos colleen love ya❤❤

Mad respect to all of us within the Ballinger/Stocklin/DeSoto community who came through for Colleen, offering lovely support and 'hugs', at a much-needed moment 👏 💕

Flynn is getting so good at talking! he annunciates so clearly now a lot of times, like the way he said "I don't like it" about the pineapple soda. it's gonna be so exciting watching him grow and become a little human

It surprise me every time flinn says yes or no and has opinions cuz he used to just say yes to

I love hearing Flynn talk and speak more words!!! It’s adorable🥰🥰

The way he said yes and laughs just makes me melt xx😊😊😊
