Lots for Tots North Derbyshire

Welcome to Issue 15...

@LfTNorthDerbys

Foggy mornings, falling leaves, welly walks & conker treasures... it must be Autumn!

‘‘

Welcome to our AutumnWinter issue of Lots for Tots, bringing you 3 months of fantastic events from Halloween trails to Christmas markets. .

This is the last issue I’ll be editing as we have a new editor taking over in October. Teresa lives near Wirksworth and has 3 little ones. Here’s what she said about Lots for Tots when I first met her.

“As a parent I have found Lots for Tots an invaluable resource for my family. When I was an inexperienced mother of one, Lots for Tots opened my eyes to a new world of parenting that without this magazine in both physical and electronic form, I simply would not have had access to. My children are now aged 5, 3 and 6 months and are all still benefiting from Lots for Tots. I would love to continue to help inspire other parents and carers to enhance their own family lives.”

I think she’s going to love her new job.

Welcome to the Tots Team Teresa!
