Hola chicos,ย welcome back to my linkyย #KCACOLS. I hope you all had a fantasticย week and looking forward to spend father’s day tomorrow with your love ones! We did SUPERย FANTASTICย last weekย with 130 link ups!ย It is another week and AGAIN our BEST EVER! SO HAPPY for that!!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!ย ๐
PLEASE READ – NEW RULES FOR THE NEXT 2 WEEKS DURING BML16
I have decided that I will have the linky open for 2 weeks from this SAT 18th June until Wed 29th June because like a lot of you, I will beย attending the biggest blogging conference in town, BML16 (my first time) and I really don’t want to stress about the linkyย that weekend. I would like to enjoy the day and not think about checking comments, drafting a new linky post orย organising emails and tweets. At the same time I also want you to still have the chance to keep linking up your posts. This is what is going to happen:
- You can link up 2 posts as always but for the duration of the whole 2 weeks, so my recommendation will be that you link up one new post for each weekend so that way you will have 2 fresh posts to be seen during this period and if you go to BML16 you can link up your new and fresh posts on the weekend of the conference.
- The host and co-host posts will be changed for the secondย week so please remember to check and comment on those duringย the second week.
- I will still be checking the commenting but this will be in the second weekย as it finishes. I am hoping that you all have your comments done by the end of the 2nd week, byย Friday 1st July atย the latest.ย
- I will send a short email on Thursday 23rd to remind you about the new rules for the 2nd week and that you can still link up another post if you have only linked up one so far.
- And on Thursday 30th June, I will send my usual Thank You email with the latest info about the commenting .ย
- I will alsoย keep you updated in the #KCACOLS CROWD Facebook Group. So please join us there if you haven’t already.ย
- Just another reminder about the importance of adding the hashtag when commenting and also try your best to spell it correctly so we don’t miss it! Thank you in advance, ๐ย
We are looking forward to having an exciting day tomorrow. We are all going to a movie screening in Central London and followed byย a nice lunch at the new Bella Italia that just opened in Baker Street. We will meet with the lovely Maria and her family so it will be so much fun. I can’t wait for that. This week I was amazed to realise just how much my little Sienna has grown. Sheย is only 22 months old but she is now really into her scooter. My heart melts every time I see her riding itย –ย such a little one trying to be an older kid, LOL. I filmed a video of her with her scooter and it was so cute that I thought it could be nice to share with you together with aย photo of her that I shared fromย myย Instagramย that I took of her this week, ๐
Now back to the linky. The commenting was MUCH BETTER byย the endย ofย this week, phew, LOL! I was really worried yesterday as it wasn’t looking very good but at the end you lovely people always surprise me and that makes me SO HAPPY!ย I’m so pleased to see people coming back to the linky and spreading so much love byย commenting a lot. You guys ROCK. Weย have about 12 people commenting on more than 20 posts. Also for another week we managed to reach 4 comments as a minimum per post! These numbers areย ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!ย Thank you so much.
We had 8ย people that didn’t comment on the post linked up before their post. We are actually much better this week and I love you for that! If you have any problems commenting on the post before yours please just send me a message and I will do my best to help.ย Also, please do not link up and run.
Thank you guys for continuing toย read the Thank You email on Thursdays/Fridays. I love that you take the time to check which posts need more love. We have such an amazing community! ๐
THANK YOU so much to all of you that have joined the #KCACOLS CROWD Facebook Group.ย We have 68 members so far and it has been fantastic chatting with all of you. You can join us here.
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.
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. As you know I have read and liked all your comments! I can’t 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 NICKYย fromย Not Just the 3 of Usย andย RACHELย fromย Rachel Bustinย for helping me with the commenting this week! They have been FANTASTIC! I am impressed how helpful they were all week and always so willing to get more people commenting and promoting the linky as much as they could. It was so nice to see how much effortย they put inย sharing your posts toย get them noticed for you guys. I really enjoyed co-hosting with them this week. They were such a great team and put a lot of work into it. I LOVED having them. They were bothย AMAZING!ย ๐ย
My firstย guest co-host this week is the lovelyย MARIAย fromย Suburban Mum. ย Most of you areย familiar with her blog as she has helped me several times and she will be doing this onย a regular basis one week every month. ย Iโm always so happy to have her. Please give her some love again if you havenโt done it already. These are her social media accounts (Twitter,ย Facebook,ย Instagram, &ย Pinterest). She will also be retweeting your tweets this week so please add her twitter handle (@suburb4nmum)ย to your tweets as well as mine.

The secondย person who commented AGAIN a lot this week was ย SARAHย fromย Mumzilla.ย OMG, she is on a ROLL. I thInk I have lost count of how many times I have mentioned her or featured her. She is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I think by now we are all familiar with her blog and we can agree that it is awesome. She has been superย generous again this week, commenting on 51 postsย which is AMAZING!ย Thank you so muchย SARAH!ย One of her posts from last week was,ย Five Myths Non-Parents Are Told Debunkedย which had about 19 comments from this linky, so if you haven’t read it yet please go to her post and give her more love!
The thirdย person who has commented a lot this week was SANDYย fromย Mommy’s Little Princesses. I have also mentioned and featured Sandy before because she has always been amazing with herย commenting. She was one of the first peopleย to comment a lot since theย linky started so I’m so happy thatย 8 months onย she is still at the top of the commenting! I feel so grateful to have her as part of this linky. She has been really good at spreading lots of love this week!ย She commented on 45 posts!!!ย That isย FANTASTIC!

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, Mariaย @suburb4nmum and Rachelย @mrs_rachbย 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
