Hey Reader

Maybe it’s the shift in seasons, but I’ve recently been thinking about why I love what I do here at Tot Hot or Not.

First and foremost, I love working with parents like you—people who genuinely want to create special moments for their kids.

Finding fun, family-friendly events isn’t just about keeping kids busy—it’s about building memories that shape their childhood.

When I started Tot Hot or Not, I wanted to make it easier for families to explore Melbourne without the stress and time sacrifice of searching for hours.

From where it all started to now, it’s been incredible seeing this community grow.

So, thank you for being part of it all ❤️

And I’d love to hear—what’s been your favourite family outing recently? Hit reply and share!
