“It’s the Friends we meet along the way that help us appreciate the journey . . . . . .”

August 6, 2025

I would like you to meet some of my Playhouse friends….. They are so awesome!

Please meet one of my new friends, Ari😀. She loves reading! Ari has 3 brothers, Ethan (25), Ridge (21), and Reed (20). She also has 1 dog named Scout. Ari’s favorite food is Chicken nuggets with honey mustard! Her dad calls her Peet💕. Ari loves dancing and she is gonna be a YouTuber (wow Ari, that’s so cool)🤩. Ari’s favorite places to go are Bismarck, ND and Oklahoma. She wants to go to the Stranger Things Studio! Her favorite thing about GiGi’s is “Friends of course. They talk about Stranger Things”. 

Thank you Ari (and mom) for participating in my blog, Hugs to you🤗
