A SHEET mum from is celebrating after reaching the finals of the UK’s biggest blog awards, the MAD Blog Awards.
Polly Sharpe, who writes the blog Right Royal Mother, is one of just six finalists in the Best New Blog category of the Mum and Dad Blog Awards.
Right Royal Mother is a humorous blog about how her life with two small children might compare with the Duchess of Cambridge’s, along with the occasional product review and commentary on parenting issues.
Polly said: “I started writing my blog four months ago, mainly as a means of ‘storing’ stories about my children in a way that seemed, to me, more interesting than a diary.
“I am slightly fascinated with the media obsession with the Duchess of Cambridge and feel rather sorry for her and, since my two are exactly the same age as George and Charlotte, and I was as sick during my pregnancies as she was, I found myself wondering about life behind the doors of her home, Anmer Hall.
!I didn’t think it would be something other people would really want to read, let alone be shortlisted for the MADs!”
The award winners will be revealed at a gala awards ceremony at the Royal Garden Hotel in London on September 16.
Sally Whittle, founder of the MAD Blog Awards, said: “Parent blogs are the new bible for modern parents – more than 10 million of us turn to blogs for tips, entertainment and support every single month, and our finalists represent the very best of those blogs. It’s such a diverse community, with inspiring posts, pictures and videos on every topic you can imagine.”
