Episode 35: John’s Crazy Socks
Today we are kicking off World Down Syndrome Day, I would say SUPER early but only because when I think of WDSD I think of John's Crazy Socks. Today's episode features father and son duo, Mark and John Cronin owners and creators of John's Crazy Socks. When I first entered this community, I remember seeing John's Crazy Socks marketed everywhere online and it has finally come full circle where they are now on my podcast! It was such a joy to discuss how their business started as well getting to know more about John as an individual and I can tell you now, him and his dad have one heck of a relationship. What they have created is what all of us parents dream about, a successful business full of happiness, love, travel, and advocacy with our children. These two are quite a pair so take a listen to today's short but sweet episode of the journey of Mark and John Cronin of none other than the best socks in town, John's Crazy Socks.

TALK 33: Courtney Sebastiano
TALK 32: Michael Holm. My husband, live, silly, and raw about raising our kids, especially our special girl with DS.
Behind this podcast, behind every life event I have ever had (including the birth our children) is my main support, my husband, Michael Holm. This podcast has now been running for a little over 3 years, and guess what, my husband has never been featured on it. So for this episode we decided to drop the kids off at the grandparents, grab a drink, and record his viewpoint of parenting both our children, being a special needs parent from a father's perspective, and how he see's the future of our family raising a child like Cheyenne and Jade. This episode is extra special to me because I hardly get to have conversations from a man's perspective on special needs parenting. We ever so often hear journeys from women. So grab a drink with us and take a listen to our shenanigan's about what is was like having Cheyenne and Jade
