Cheyenne missed a day of school this past Wednesday because she was not feeling well. It is a rare occasion when that happens. She is not a fan of missing school. I am not sure who her family is as I am sure she was switched at birth. All three of my other children would [...]
Where is your mama Miley?
I must confess, I don't really keep up with all the entertainment news. Often, it is not until entertainment news hits mainstream distribution that I have any inkling of what stars are doing to themselves and others.
