6 Reasons To Watch The Ballinger Family On Youtube
Priscilla Du Preez

The Ballinger family consists of parents Chris and Jessica Ballinger and their kids Bailey (10), Jacob (4), Parker (4), and their newest baby, Duncan, and together they have a YouTube channel documenting their life! Jessica homeschools the kids while Chris manages their YouTube channel.

First off, you probably know the Ballinger name already:

Colleen Ballinger, who portrays wacky celebrity wannabe MirandaSings, is the sister of Chris Ballinger. Together they co-wrote and produced "Haters Back Off!" which lasted for two seasons before Netflix pulled the plug. Colleen regularly featured Chris and his family on her vlog series on YouTube, and in 2014, they decided to create their own channel! Here are some of my favorite aspects of this family!

1. Jessica and Chris are husband and wife GOALS.

Jessica and Chris first started dating in high school and have been inseparable ever since. They are the kind of couple that you look at and just know they were made for each other. Jessica and Chris are super-parents who are raising some great, wholesome kids but also acknowledge that not everything is perfect and life can be tough while raising four kids. Throughout all of this, they always manage to find time to be with each other.

2. The story of how the Ballinger Family channel started warms my heart every time.

Seven years ago, Chris was working with a magic company and was a magician, doing videos and working parties. One day in 2014, Chris got laid off of work and decided to take a leap of faith by making YouTube videos with his family as a full-time job. 4 years later and their channel is the best it can ever be!

3. Bailey is the kindest 10-year-old you will ever see.

Bailey has many passions that fuel her to be the amazing young lady she is! She loves being a big sister to her brothers (her parents even let her be in the delivery room when her brother Duncan was born!), reading books, learning new things, singing, and with one of her favorite book series being Harry Potter, she's a Hufflepuff and proud!

4. Jacob and Duncan, 8 years apart, are MAGICAL together.

When Duncan was born last May, everyone realized something beautiful: Jacob and Duncan look SO alike. Practically twins born 8 years apart! Of course, many brothers look like each other, but these brothers are just too pure to not be shown together.

5. Jessica and Chris are breaking gender stereotypes.

The Ballingers are close friends of former "Dance Moms" star JoJo Siwa, who now has a line of her signature bows at "Claire's", the bows that the kids wear all the time. They allow their son Parker to wear these all the time with no judgement or gender stereotyping, as well as anything pink that he wants to wear, it being a color he loves. They never talk about how it's a "girl" accessory or how they're "accepting" of him wearing it, they just let him and the other kids wear whatever looks appealing to the kids without putting a gender on any of their clothing, hobbies or accessories.

6. They regularly collab and meet up with other amazing YouTube families that will warm your heart when they're reunited.

Whether it's Disneyland with The Weiss Life, the moms of Ballinger Family and JHouse Vlogs comparing baby bumps, or exploring Canada with Eh Bee Family, every vlog they have with another YouTube family warms my heart. Seeing the reactions on all the kids' faces when they're reunited is priceless, and seeing them all leave each other breaks my heart.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
