Time to go MAD!!!

Written by UrbanVox 1 Comment

It’s that time of the year again…

The time every single parent blogger awaits all year… well… if you are a competitive sod like I am that is…

It is time for the 2011 edition of The MADs Award!!! Hoorray!!!!

Last year I was one of the runner ups for the Most Innovative Blog category… I still don’t know how that happened, but it was loads of fun being right there and competing with some amazing bloggers… I didn’t get The Most Innovative Blogger Award in the end, which went to the gorgeous Heather at notes from Lapland (and I can tell ya… she deserved id just for the little dress she was wearing at the ceremony… Just kidding…)

12/365 What’s Next?

There is a point in the life of every blogger where you need to stop and think about what you have achieved and where you want to get with your blogging. Specially when you have been around for as long as I have… and I have been in the blogging world for the best part of a decade now… Since before blogging was even called blogging…

God… I feel so old… lol!

My blog has had various shapes, names and formats since I started all these years ago… and throughout it I have shared travels, expectatives, a whole marriage, good and bad times, 2 pregnancies and 2 births, a divorce, the beginnings and ongoings of a new relationship, reviews and experiences I would never think of having otherwise like being invited to the Volvo S60 Naughty Track (which BTW, there will be a Vlog post on it published in the next couple of weeks) at the Top Gear track and even the surprise of being within the Top 10 Cision Daddy Blogs in the UK and an unexpected Rockstar Blogger Award at The MADS.

Yeah… I’ve been through a lot… and Blogging has been there with me through most of that…

So now, I have to stop and ask… What’s next????

Well… next I’m taking it to the next level… but that is a subject for another day and another talk… so Stay Tuned!!!

Now I ask you… How long have you been blogging for??? What’s next for you????

Don’t be shy… have your say at the comments!!!

DS3: Putting the Fun Back into Driving

Written by UrbanVox 1 Comment

One of the Perks of being one of the The MADs Award’s Finalist was the fact that Citroen offered us one of their shiny brand new DS series car – the DS3 dSport – to try out for a week and drive it to the Awards…

If you follow @urbanvox on twitter than you will know by all the noise I made about the car that I absolutely LOVED to drive it for that time and if it depended on me I would have definitely NOT have given it back.

Stop The Press!
