Hi there Reader,

In the spirit of the leadup to Valentine’s Day, I just want to say I love having you in the TOT community. It sounds corny but it’s true.

I’ve been publishing content for over 12 years, and it feels really awesome that I can share my love of exploring Melbourne, Victoria, and beyond with your family.

So thank you for reading this email and for constantly giving me feedback about what you love (or don’t love) about the content. It means a lot to me that I can be a part of making your life a bit easier, less stressful, and more FUN!

You’re the best Reader!

Joyce xx
