This DownsideUp Life

Sometimes scary things happen that make your kids have to think "what if"?

For parents with kids of complex kids with complex needs we have to plan and think of things we don't want to. But we have to.

Heidi and Jenny hypothesize about gene therapy. Heidi has an addendum, hopefully its the right information. We should be celebrating the little steps forward in gene therapy for Rett Syndrome.

Listen for all your complex parenting laughs.

What does inclusion mean to you?

We all want for our complex kids. For all our kids. We want people to do the simple things like say hello and talk to them like they would anyone else.

All the thoughts we couldn't finish from lat week. Plus alotm of hypothesizing about gene therapy. Please don't quote us. We are not a news source.

Lesson learned, don't go out of town the weekend before kids go back to school. Setting yourself up for failure, by going out of town the weekend before, makes for bad planning. Things will go wrong. Not the best way to start the school year.

Heidi and Jenny gab about all things back to school.

Colin Farrell starts a foundation for complex kids, like his son, and we are here for it!

Heidi and Jenny discuss "Back to School" and the complexities of working as a team. Jenny rambles, Heidi patiently listens.

We weren't planning on it, but we spilled the beans on the complexities of staying married when you are complex parents.

Its almost embarrassing how much we both adore Billy and Billy Footwear. Check out how Billy Footwear got started and why inclusion is important for this company. Truly inspiring! Which is why we fangirl so much!

After 4 days at the Rett Syndrome Conference in CO, we're back.

We learned alot, met new friends and stayed up too late with our peeps.

Jenny choked on a tater tot at midnight. Heidi ran around like a chicken with its head cut off. Just two normal moms living that Downsideup Life.
