Welcome back to #KCACOLS. I hope you are all well! We had 52 link ups last time! THANK YOU ALL so much for being part of the linky! I really appreciate your support. For new people joining us this week, I really hope you like #KCACOLS and that you come back again next time! You can also find out more about this linky on the #KCACOLS linky page! 🙂
First, I wanted to say HAPPY 3RD ANNIVERSARY TO KCACOLS! I can’t believe that I have been hosting this linky for so long. I remember our first link up like it was yesterday. I have enjoyed a lot getting know all of you during these years. The best part of all has been to actually meet a fair amount of you in person! It is so exciting to be able to put a face to the person behind the keyboards of all of your lovely blogs. I really hope one day I get to know all of you in person! 🙂
A few things happened to us these last couple of weeks. We changed our car after 11 years! Amazing right? We were so attached to our car that we didn’t change it for a long time but it was finally time to do it! We are super excited and ready to keep making new family memories!
I was invited to the launch of the latest addition to the Hatchimals family. They are the Hatchibabies and they are super cute! My girls love them and I can say that they are the best so far! We also went to a Little Tikes event at the V&A Museum of Childhood on a Saturday morning and then in the afternoon we visited Cutty Sark in Greenwich. We had a great time despite it raining a lot. The following day we went to the multimedia screening of SmallFoot in Central London. We loved this movie. It is out now and I recommend you to take your kids to watch it. They would love it and have a great time. It is very funny. Lastly, we were asked to be the 1st Kidzania Ambassador Bloggers and we have been over the moon about that. It is such an honour! So I will be occasionally telling you about Kidzania events over the next 12 months!
Each link up, I love sharing a couple of photos from my last 2 weeks on Instagram, so here are two of my favourites:
#KCACOLS ON INSTAGRAM
Thank you so much for using the #KCACOLS hashtag on Instagram for all your photos. It is lovely to see your photos there! I am so excited that we have more than 11.2k photos that have used the hashtag! I am thrilled! I would love it if more of you could use the hashtag for your photos and of course it would be even better if we all also spread some love there! I am featuring 1 photo from the community that has caught my eye since the last link up. This time I’m featuring NICOLA from Mummy to Dex. See her photo below:

Send Me #KCACOLS New Linky Notifications
We had 52 link ups. I am very happy to have more linkers this week. I am super excited to tell you that this week we got all the posts with 4 or more comments since Thursday which I think it is the first time that we have ever had this in 3 years! Hurrah! Thank you so much for being so AWESOME and commenting so much! That really made me super happy!
Regarding the people that have not commented on the post before theirs, we got 9 people on Thursday. By Saturday we reduced this number to 3!
Also, remember to comment on the co-hosts posts. Please also be aware that I’m BLOCKING URLs/Emails of people that have joined the linky and have not commented on any posts for consecutive weeks. If you find I have blocked you by mistake, please contact me.
FORTNIGHTLY LINKY The linky will be open for 2 weeks until the second Wednesday at 8 pm or until we reach 100 link ups, whichever comes first. The co-hosts and I will be allowed to change our posts on the following Saturday after the linky is live. Please be aware of these changes during the second week. I would suggest that you link up one post each week so you will be able to share something different and current each week. I will also be more strict regarding commenting on the post before yours. |
LINKY TWEETS
I’m not tweeting individual people once the linky is live but I will tweet the people that have been featured and mentioned. I’ll also post a link to the new linky post on the KCACOLS Facebook Group, pin it on my Twitter account and on my Facebook page together with some generic tweets. I will of course, email all of you the link. If you could also share it by clicking the link below that would be FABULOUS!
PLEASE REMEMBER
|
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR NEW LINKERS: PLEASE START by commenting on the post linked up before yours FIRST and then comment on any other posts as much as you would like. Also, use the hashtag #KCACOLS when commenting (this is indeed very important so I can then see how many comments you are doing and then be able to feature you in my linky post which is always great for you as you get a backlink which helps improve your DA). |
Thank you so much for all your comments on the host posts and the linky post. As always, I have read and liked all your comments! We will do our best for you to receive a comment from someone on behalf of the linky (either the co-hosts or me).

Now let’s carry on with the linky:
RULES:
Every 2 weeks I will choose 6 people who have commented A LOT on the linky. Three will be featured and another three will be mentioned in my fortnightly Saturday linky post. This means that 6 people will get a backlink on my new linky post every other Saturday!
1. Be sure to grab the #KCACOLS badge which can be found below or on my sidebar. Simply copy the code from the box below the badge and add it to the text/html at the bottom of your post or place it on your blog sidebar.
2. You can link up to 2 posts. I recommend you to link up one post each week to get the most of the linky.
3. You can share anything that you would like. It is open to absolutely any subject and also you can link up posts that are old or new. You are allowed to link up another linky ONLY if it is a promotional post about the linky and you can do this only once and I expect you to put my badge or a link to my linky and of course to follow the rules regarding commenting.
4. Comment on:
- one of the hosts’ posts (choose one that you would like to comment).
- the guest co-hosts posts.
- the post which is linked up immediately before yours.
- and finally, any other post that you would like to comment on.
That way everybody receives at least two comments (one from the host/guest co-hosts and one from others).
5. This linky will be open every other Saturday from 10 pm and will remain open until the following 2nd Wednesday at 08.00 pm or until we reach 100 link ups, whichever comes first.
6. If you would like us to tweet your post that is absolutely fine, just tweet your link to me @WithFranca, ANN @rainbowsaretoo and KATE @KEEccles and we will retweet it. Please remember to use the hashtag #KCACOLS.
7. Finally, if you could please follow A Moment With Franca (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Bloglovin, Google+ and YouTube) that would be fantastic!! 😉
I look forward to reading and commenting on your posts!! 🙂
