Halloween Events, Trampoline Parks + A New Night Market

Hello

Hey Reader,

The temperature is starting to rise, which means the seasons are changing.

And just like the 4 seasons, I tend to do things a little differently at different times of the year.

So far this year, we’ve launched an Events Calendar and The Daily Scoop email series.

But as we near the end of the year, I’m hoping to concentrate on some new products and services to make Tot more valuable to our community.

I can’t say much right now…but you can expect new ways for us to help you have more fun and create happy memories with your kids – while saving you money and reducing your time and stress.

As we all move into the new season, I’d love to invite you to think about how your year has changed from January to now, too.

If you’re ready for a season of growth, I’m here to listen! Hit reply and let me know what you’re up to.
