The more eagle-eyed reader may have noticed that I have swapped my shiny MAD Blog Awards 2014 ‘Nominate Me’ badge for a rather more shiny ‘Finalist’ badge. Go me!
Firstly, I’d like to thank each and every one of you who voted for this little blog in the travel category. I am proper chuffed to have even got any nominations, let alone enough to be in the final five. So, thank you, from the bottom of our huge tent. This means I will now be going to the awards ceremony in September to party hard and meet up with a few other MAD bloggers, and I might even win the title. Maybe.
Super, super chuffed. Here’s a great big thank-you smile (or three) for you…..
Anyway, I am in a category with four other superb travel blogs. They are…
Obviously, it would be awesome if you thought Kids Days Out Reviews was worthy of a vote over the four lovely others above, but I am so seriously happy just to be among them.
For those of you who have never been to visit this blog before, welcome! Here we (my family and I) share our opinions on places we visit. We started doing this in August 2012 and currently have around 100 posts with what we thought about all sorts of places from little animal farms, to huge theme parks. We also welcome other bloggers to contribute, and we have reviews from England, Scotland, and Wales. We have a few trips planned for this year already and this number will soon increase. We are also fans of camping, and we have featured a small number of campsites that we would recommend to other families.
Our favourite posts are……
Please have a read. You never know, you might find somewhere new to visit yourself.
To vote in the MAD Blog Awards, please follow this link. You can only vote once so make it count.
So, who will I be voting for in the awards? Actually, I’ve already voted! If you’re stuck, then these blogs are worth a vote….
Jennifer’s Little World – Jennifer is in the craft category, which is perfect for her. Jennifer is also a very good travel blogger and my most featured guest to date. Well recommended.
The Mummy Adventure – Bex and her two lovely little ones are in the Best Baby Blog category. Bex was one of my very first guest posters when I started this blog, with her brilliant piece on the Broadstairs Folk Festival. I am truly grateful for all those who contributed when I was still getting established, and Bex herself has deservedly got her own place in the finals.
Coombe Mill – in the Family Fun category, Coombe Mill are the hosts of the popular weekly linky #CountryKids and are very vocal about promoting outdoor adventure. They are also a family with multiples and know all about large family fun. What’s not to love?
Voting closes on the 24th April, so don’t delay!
Thank you, all you lovelies.
From Joanne and the all-girl testing team.
Huge congratulations on being a finalist. You must be thrilled! I’m a finalist in the photography category so I look forward to meeting you in a few months 🙂
Thanks, everyone! I am still very excited about it. Thanks for visiting.
Just popping by to say congratulations to you all, and we’re really looking forward to meeting you in September. We are huge fans of Harry Potter, loved your write-up of the tour 🙂
Best of luck!
Congratulations so happy for you! Look forward to meeting you! Best of luck too!
Thrilled to see your name com up on the finalists list. I must say supporters of Country Kids have featured in all my votes! Thank you so much for the lovely recommendation and I am so looking forward to a drink and a chat on the night.
Congrats on making the final Joanne and i am really looking forward to saying hi on the night. Not come across your blog before so off to check it out xxx
Congratulations! x
Congratulations! So pleased to see you there. Not least because it means I will get to meet you at last 🙂 Pleased to say I nominated (and voted) for you, Jennifer AND Coombe Mill! Great minds and all that 🙂
Many, many congratulations for making to the finals. I am ashamed to say that I don’t know your blog that well but I intend to visit more often. Look forward to seeing you in September 🙂 x
