Hola chicos,ย welcome back to my linkyย #KCACOLS. I hope you all had a great week! Thank you again for all your support. We did AMAZINGย last weekย with 95 link ups!!ย We are now not to far to reach 100 link ups!!!ย HURRAH!!ย It is OUR BEST SO FARย so I’m so excited about that!! ย THANK YOUย ALLย so much for being part of this linky! 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 more about this linky from the #KCACOLS linky page! ๐
I had the best week in AGES!!! As most of you know I was invited to spend 5 days atย Bluestone in Wales. It was amazing!! A magical place for sure!! It had lots of entertaining activities for the kids and I loved spending some quality time with my family!! We missed Nick lots as he had to work but we did Facetime every day so it was all good. We were incredibly lucky because the weather was so kind toย us asย we had sun all week! Yes, you heard it: SUN in Wales in April!! Weย had no rain at all until the final day whenย we were leaving!! Thisย was just amazing!! The views in this place are stunning. Our lodge was brand new with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms overย 2 floors! It was luxurious and weย all loved it!! I have lots of material to share so I will be writing several posts for next week!! I have shared some photos already on myย Instagram. You can see some of them below.ย I had so much fun!! ๐

Now to the linky. This week the commenting has been the BEST SO FAR!!! I’m incredibly overwhelmed withย the amount of comments we have had!! We managed to reach 4 comments as a minimun per post!!! YAAY!ย I’m so happy about that!! I wasn’t expecting this and I’m so proud of all you guys for being so supportive and incredibly generous with your comments! I’m loving the #KCACOLS community. I hope you agree with me inย saying that this community ROCKS, LOL!!!
- One postย had up to 20 commentsย and another up to 18 comments, just from this linky!! That was just amazing!
- There were 2 more posts that had 16 and 13 comments!
- There were only 5ย posts with 4ย comments.
- The rest of the posts had betweenย 6ย and 20 comments!
- Also for this week the last couple of posts that linked up (link 94 and link 95) hadย 10ย and 8ย commentsย respectively which is brilliant.
THANK YOU to all of you that love being generous and spreading lots of love! I really appreciate that! ๐
We had 5ย people that didn’t comment on the post linked up before their post. We are getting much better guys! Let’s try to reduce this number even more, I know we can do it!!
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. I read them all and I have liked them all! As I mentioned already, I can’t go and comment on all 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).
CO-HOSTING:ย If you would like to co-host with me you need to first be a regular to this linky and know all the rules. You can always ask to be booked for a future date but at least I would like you to have hadย at least one month of linking up with #KCACOLS. ย So, if you are free and would like to be my guest co-host for one week please send an email to franca@amomentwithfranca.com.ย
I would like to say THANK YOUย so much toย JESSICAย fromย Babi a Fiย andย LUCYย fromย R is for Hoppitย for helping me with the commenting this week! They have been incredible this week commenting on all the posts! They have done more than required, commenting, tweeting and pinning more than I asked for so I really want to say how much I appreciate their help!! It was the perfect week to have them both as I was feeling so behind this week due to the lack of time I had due toย being at Bluestone. They were bothย BRILLIANT! JESSICA & LUCYย you are THE BEST!!! ย ๐ย

Please do not forget to follow and check out the #KCACOLS Pinterest Board. Weย have pinned all your posts from the last 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, Claireย @thepramshed and Mariaย @suburb4nmum weย will both 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
