Local mum of four Joanne Brady is celebrating today after reaching the finals of the UK’s MAD Blog Awards.
Joanne has reached the finals of the fifth annual Mum and Dad (MAD) Blog Awards , which celebrate the UK’s thriving parent blogging community. Her blog, Kids Days Out Reviews, is one of five finalists up for the Best Family Travel award.
More than 200,000 nominations were submitted in the awards this year, with just 75 blogs reaching the finals.
Joanne said: “I am delighted and amazed to have reached the finals. I started writing a blog in 2102 just as a way to share our days out recommendations with other parents, and it’s grown from there. Being a finalist means the world to me, and all my family are so happy.”
Joanne will find out if her blog is a winner in September, at a red carpet award ceremony in London. For the next month, readers can vote for her blog at www.the-mads.com. If Kids Days Out Reviews is named the winning blog, Joanne will win a holiday voucher from HomeAway.co.uk and a shiny trophy for the mantelpiece of her Woodmansey home.
“The MAD Blog Awards celebrates the thousands of parents up and down the country who have discovered blogging as a way to capture family memories and make new friends. The standard of entries this year was incredible, and we’re so impressed with all the finalists’ blogs,”
Said Sally Whittle, founder of the MAD Blog Awards.
