As a parent, I know how much I rely on the help and advice available freely, 24/7 through the internet – whatever the problem, there’s always someone who has shared their experience online.  And when it comes to the lighter side of parenting, the comical tales from other mums and dads can help raise a smile even after the most frustrating day with a toddler.

Most mum and dad bloggers write their blogs in their own time, after a day at work and when the kids are in bed so that’s why it’s great to see them being recognised with the launch of the Mummy and Daddy (MAD) Blog Awards, which will celebrate the utter brilliance of British parent blogs.

There are ten different categories to enter in The Mads – everything from ‘Blogger of the Year’ to ‘Funniest Mad Blog’ and I for one can’t wait to see who the winners are when they are announced in September.

To enter or to nominate a blogger, simply visit the site and complete the online nomination form.
