You’d have to be mad to nominate me…

Trish Burgess Posted on11/04/201129/06/2017 9 Comments

 

As a parent blogger I’m aware that it’s time for nominations for The Mads, the awards for the best in mum and dad blogs. I wouldn’t ordinarily put my head above the parapet and wave at everyone, for fear of being shot down in flames. However I noticed today that someoneĀ  has very generously nominated me for one of the awards (MAD Blogger of the Year) so it seemed churlish, and possibly rude, to not take the opportunity to say thank you and ensure that person’s nomination has not been wasted.

There are a number of categories for the awards and some fabulous prizes to be won. Obviously my blog doesn’t fit into all of the categories but if you think I’m a candidate for any of those below, then feel free to vote at http://www.the-mads.com/nominate.htm

  • MAD Blogger of the Year, sponsored by Parentdish
  • Best MAD Blog Writer, sponsored by Dr Beckmann
  • MAD Blog Post of the Year, sponsored by Sodastream………… May I suggest a typical holiday post of mine: Mum’s Gone to the Dordogne: 101 Uses for Duck Tape https://www.mumsgoneto.co.uk/2010/08/11/mums-gone-to-dordogne-101-uses-for-duck/

 

The other categories are:

  • Best MAD Blog for Family Fun, sponsored by Arla
  • Best MAD Blog for Family Life, sponsored by Little Dish
  • Best MADs Craft Blog, sponsored by ELC
  • Best MAD Baby Blog, sponsored by Plum Baby
  • Best MAD Family Food Blog, sponsored by Morrisons
  • Most Innovative MADs Blogger, sponsored by eBuzzing
  • Most Inspirational MAD Blogger, sponsored by Mothercare
  • Best New MAD Blog, sponsored by Born Free
  • Best MAD Blog Photography, sponsored by Photobox
  • Best Pre-School Fun MAD Blog, sponsored by MEGABloks
  • Best MAD Business Blog, sponsored by Talk Talk
  • Best Pregnancy Blog, sponsored by Bounty

Anyone can vote, whether you write a blog yourself or not. The blogs with the most nominations in each category will be shortlisted for the finals. I have yet to nominate my favourites and I notice on the list so far that some of the bloggers I most admire haven’t yet been nominated so I’ll be putting that right very shortly. There are some greatĀ bloggers out there, so choose wisely and help to get them the recognition they deserve.

    @Libby – I agree with both of you: I'm going to enjoy choosing who I fancy for each category though don't know enough baby blogs to make a considered judgement on those.

    @Fiona – I think we need a referendum!

    Well I definitely think you should get a prize, I'm in the US so not sure if i can vote, but I always get a big kick out of your posts! I'll read this again (sorry to be so thick) and see how I can vote for you!

    @About last weekend – I'm not sure on the rules either. I'm just delighted you come over here to have a read and add a comment; that's the best bit about blogging!
