Hi, everyone, and welcome to Our Big, Crazy Family! I am Rocky! This is a podcast where we post daily "plogs," which are basically audio versions fo what vlogs are on YouTube. All you will hear is virtual, but our love for each other and the premise of this is to bring light to disability, since my baby and I are disabled ourselves. We are NOT making fun of anyone or any disabilities. We embrace them. We talk about our journey with our huge, wonderful family, such as special needs, autism, and much more. Thanks for listening, and enjoy!
