#KCACOLS – 17th September 2017

Welcome back to #KCACOLS. I hope you are all well! We had 60 link ups! 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 in the #KCACOLS linky page! 🙂

Finally, we got our routine back! The girls are back to school and nursery! I am now trying my best to catch up with my endless to do list! We had 2 interesting weeks with ups and downs. Sienna got very ill and we all ended up at the A&E. We didn’t get back home until very late in the middle of the night! It was a very tiring day for us! She had tonsilitis and an infection so she took antibiotics for 7 days! Thankfully she is good and healthy now, but we had a big scare!

We attended a few screenings, one for the girls: The Jungle Bunch and one for Nick and me: Victoria & Abdul. The latter was surprisingly good. It is with Judi Dench. It was released on Friday so if you have spare time you could have a date night with the other half too!

A film crew came to my house to do an interview for Toy Fair 2018. It was fun! I also had my first Google Hangout with Nutmeg by Morrisons which I really liked. I have never done this before and it was very cool. I love the new range from Nutmeg! You should check it out! We attended a Troll event organised by NOW TV and the girls had a blast! And finally, we did a super cool photoshoot for World Child Cancer. We loved being part of this campaign. It is such a fantastic cause and I feel so proud of my little girls contributing to it.

Finally, I would like to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my hubby! We had a lovely family day out today at Ham House near Richmond. It is part of the National Trust’s sites. It was really nice!

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

[do_widget id=”text-21″ title=false]

Now let’s carry on with the linky:

NEW RULES:

Every 2 weeks I will choose 6 people who have commented A LOT within the linky. Three will be featured and another three will be mentioned on 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 monthly guest co-host post.
• 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, TRACEY @frazzledmumblog, EPS & AMY @eps_amy and BREAD @queerxfamily 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 your posts!! 🙂
