Hi there Reader

Since the last time I emailed, I’ve been busy curating even more amazing family activities in and around Melbourne—and honestly, it feels so rewarding helping families make the most of their time together.

But you know what I’m not so great at? Asking for referrals.

So, I’m giving it a go...

Tot is all about helping parents and carers find the best experiences for their kids (without the endless scrolling).

If you know someone who’d love this newsletter—or better yet, someone with a local business that could benefit from our audience—could you send them my way?

I’d love to share what we’re building with more incredible families like yours.

Joyce xx
