Ballinger told Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest how she captured those special moments. “Luckily, I’m a YouTuber, so it’s not odd to be filming everything all the time, so people weren’t confused when I was filming them, but I tried to think of fun challenges and stuff.”

Ballinger added that her sister isn’t an emotional person, but when she found out that Colleen was pregnant through a “What’s in this box” challenge, she cried.
