  • Bring on the Playmates...


    GiGi and I have a new playmate on our hands.  A little hottie who we find ourselves kissing quite often and talking sweet to.  He’s tall, dark and more handsome than any other boy I’ve seen lately.  His name is Trace Kyler and he was born to one of my closest friends on July 2nd.
