Hola chicos,ย welcome back to my linkyย #KCACOLS. I hope you all had a fantasticย week! We’ve had some lovely sunny days! I thought it wouldย be cold today but thankfully it has been nice and sunny! ๐ We didย AMAZINGย last weekย with 112 link ups!ย HURRAH!!!ย THANK YOUย ALLย so much for being part of theย linky! I really appreciate your support. For new peopleย 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 inย the #KCACOLS linky page! ๐
My week started really well.ย On Tuesday we were invited to the launch of No 4 Privet Drive atย Warner Brothers Studio Tour London (Harry Potter Studios)ย near Watford. It was our first time there and we absolutely love it! You can see from the photo below whichย I shared on my Instagram, just how amazing theย floating mail looked in the living room of the Dursley’s home. It was very impressive. Aside from thatย I’m feeling very tired and exhausted this week. I think I need to start to slow down and be conscious of how much I’m taking on,ย otherwise I will collapse :-(. Anyway, yesterday was Bella’s 6th birthday. She has beenย waiting forย itย to arrive for the past month I think, LOL!ย HAPPY BIRTHDAY my cheeky little monkey! We actually celebrated it today, taking 6ย of her girl friends from school to watch the new “Angry Birds” movie. ย When the filmย was over,ย we took them for a crepeย – it was such a grown up plan! She had so much fun. I don’t know how, but weย managed and they all behaved very well.
Now to the linky. The commenting got better at the end of the week! I was worried at the beginning but it was all really good by Friday. I’m so grateful for that guys. I really appreciate you taking the time to come back to the linky toย comment and especially to go and spread more love to the posts that needed more comments. The commenting was not our best comparing to last week but it was still REALLY GOOD! ย I just love when I see lots of comments from this linky! ย Not considering the hosts and co-hosts posts, I have more thanย 20 people makingย more than 11 comments. Then we have about 6ย people commenting on more than 20 posts. These numbers are FANTASTIC!ย Thank you so much.
NOTE: I’m behind this week for the first time with my own commenting. I’m really sorry but this week has been hectic and having Bella’s birthday made it more difficult for me. I promise I will catch up as soon as I can! I hope you understand.
- One postย hadย 18ย commentsย just from this linky, so that reallyย was fantastic!
- There were 3 otherย posts that had ย 17, 16 and 15ย comments!
- There wereย only 10 post with 4ย comments.
- The rest of the posts had between 5 and 18 comments!
- Also for this week, the last couple of posts that linked up (link 111 and link 112) had 5 commentsย and 4 commentsย (the last post still hasย pending comments to approve as I asked her, and so theyย are not showing yet) respectively (you will always receive comments noย matter at what stage of the linky you link up).
We had 8ย people that didn’t comment on the post linked up before their post. This number went up again. ๐ so let’s try to improve it for this new week.ย Thank you so much for making an effort. Let’s try to getย this number down to zero! I know we can make this happen!!
Thank you guys for continuing toย reading the Thank You email on Thursdays. It is nice to see that you come back and actually get the time to check which posts need some love. Thank you very much!!!
NOTE:ย If you receive a lot of comments, try to reciprocate to the ones that have taken the time to comment on your post. It is all about being generous between each other and spreading lots of love. I can see this is also happening more lately and I’m very happy to see that.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR NEW LINKERS: PLEASEย start with commentingย onย the post linked up before yours first and then go around commenting as much as you would like. Also, use the hashtagย #KCACOLSย when commenting (this is indeed very important so I can then see how many comments you are doing and then be able to featureย you in my linky post which is always great for youย as you get a backlink whichย helps improve your DA).
Thank you so much for all your comments onย the host posts and the linky post.ย I read and liked all your comments! I can’t go and comment on all of your posts because of the lack of time. However you will always receive a comment from someone on behalfย of the linky (either the co-hosts or me).
I would like to say THANK YOUย so much toย SARAHย from Tammymumย andย MARIAย fromย Suburban Mumย for helping me with the commenting this week! They have been GREAT! I’m always so grateful for all the help I can get from my co-hosts. It makes a big difference. They were both FANTASTIC!ย I have really enjoyed co-hosting with them!
My first guest co-host this week is RACHEL fromย Life at Home with Mrs B.ย This is not the first time that Rachel is helpingย me. She has been a co-host a few times already.

Please do not forget to follow and check out the #KCACOLS Pinterest Board. Weย have pinned all your posts from last week’sย linkyย so please go and have a look. There are some great posts that deserve a read!
Now let’s carry on with the linky:
RULES:
Each week Iย will choose 6 people who have commented A LOTย within the linky. Three will be featuredย and another three will be mentionedย on my Saturday linky post. This means that 6 people will get a back link on my new linky post each Saturday!
1. Be sure toย grab theย #KCACOLS badgeย 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.ย You can link up to 2 posts per week.
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.ย 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.ย
4. Comment on one of the hosts posts (choose one that you would like to comment on as I will be linking up 2 posts every week if possible). Then comment the guest co-hosts.ย Then comment onย the postย which is linked up immediately before yours and finally any other post that you would like to comment on. That way everybody receivesย at least twoย comments (one from the host/guest co-hosts and one from others).
5. This linky will be open every Saturday from 10 pm and will remain open until Wednesday at 11.59 pm.
6. If you would like usย to tweet your post that is absolutely fine, just tweet your link to me @WithFranca, Lynneย @newmummyblog and Rachelย @lifewithMrsB and weย will retweet it. Please remember to use the hashtag #KCACOLS.
7. Finally, if you could please follow A Moment With Franca (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterestย ,ย Bloglovin,ย Google+ย andย You Tube)ย that would be fantastic!! ๐
I look forward to reading and commenting your posts!! ๐
