Let's Talk Tots

Welcome to the homepage of Lots for Tots very own podcast – Let’s Talk Tots.

Let’s Talk Tots is co-hosted by Beth Wheatley and Emily Edwards – two friends who together are navigating their way through this wonderful journey of parenting.

The Podcast features:

• Pregnancy, birth & beyond
• Mum fails
• Reality of parenting sharing the good, the bad and the ugly
• What Dad’s really think
• Much more.

Special episodes will also showcase groups, charities and businesses that are available to support you in every step of life

The podcast premiered on the 1st March 2023 with new episodes available fortnightly.

I’m Emily. I’m a Wife & Mum of 2, Since having my boys, Teddy & Rocco, my time mainly consists of anything outdoors; lots of walks, parks & bike riding practice & the conversations in our house usually contain some form of toilet humour or are superhero, food or slime related.

I worked in childcare for 12 years, before leaving the industry in 2020, when Teddy was 18 months & taking a part time job within the NHS, allowing me to spend more time at home. Subsequently that is where Beth & I met & soon realised we had a very similar sense of humour & laid back personality.

After a short 6 months working together, we have stuck together ever since, with our youngest boys being born just 14 weeks apart, we have attempted to keep each other sane whilst navigating our way through the chaos of parenting our collective brood of 4 crazy boys all under school age.

Hi I’m Beth! I’m wife to Alex, Mum to Elijah & Ezra and the owner of Lots for Tots.

After a tricky pregnancy and birth with Ezra, I was searching for a platform that I could use to help Mums/Dads/grandparents and anyone raising children. Something that could showcase everything that is available to us all as we journey together through parenthood. Then I found Lots for Tots was for sale! (Perfect!)

The magazine gives you all a brilliant showcase of what’s on in the various areas and the shops, clubs and classes to go to with your little ones but through conversations with readers, businesses and charities the idea of starting a podcast came to me and it made sense. We were missing one thing, a real life account of the highs and the lows of pregnancy, birth and raising the next generation. The idea isn’t Let’s Talk Tots or Lots for Tots: The idea is you have both! Making the perfect guide/companion/manual (call it what you wish).

Through this Podcast Emily & I promise to be open and honest as we laugh over our mum fails, delve into our pregnancy and birth experiences and chat to some brilliant charities and businesses ready to support you to thrive whilst parenting the under 5s (and older).
