“The times, they are a changin” ~ Bob Dylan I now can truly relate to these words, and I have seen some major changes throughout my life. I don’t know what it is about this move from Texas to South Carolina that has me feeling so upside down? If anything, I have a lot more

Cash actually made his first modeling appearance as a baby bump in this ad for Pezdor Swimwear. Yes, I admit it. I am an aspiring Momager trying my best to help my son Cash and daughter Shelby smoothly break into the world of baby modeling. Cash started modeling young, really young - in utero
