Hola chicos,ย welcome back to my linkyย #KCACOLS. I hope you all had a fantasticย week! We didย AMAZING this weekย withย 147 link ups!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
There will be no KCACOLS next weekend as I’m having the long bank weekend off to spend with my family. We will be back on Saturday 3rd September. I can’t believe that August will be finished by then! I feel this year has passed by so quickly! How crazy is that… do you agree?
I’m so happy to let you know that the new Instagram Community #UnPocoDeTodo will start on 5th September. We finally haveย theย LINKY PAGEย ready with all the details,ย so please go there and have a read so you understand what you need to do soย you can be ready to link up on the 5th! We are so excited about it andย hope most of you can join us!
This week I hadย a much more relaxing week becauseย Bella has been away at her uncle and aunt’s house so I have had some time to catch up with my backlog. I’m still behind but I managed to tick off some posts from my to do list so I’m happy with that. ย Of course I still have Sienna around so it is not a 100% child-free breakย for me, LOL! Sienna turned 2 years old last week and it has been a massive change forย her. She seems to be lookingย so grown up lately! I just can’t believe that theย two years have passed so quick! Today I shared a picture of her on Instagram that made me feel so overwhelmed about it. You can see it below:
Thank you again to all the people that areย using the #KCACOLS hashtag onย Instagram. We have almost 429ย photos there which is fantastic! I really enjoyed going through your photos and I have liked them all and I’m trying to comment there as much as I can. ย I would love it if more of you could also use the hashtag for your photos and of course it wouldย be even better if we all also spread some love there! ๐
NOW BACK TO THE LINKY:
First, I will have to admit that I’m struggling a lot lately with my commenting. I really have very little time to be able to do all of my section. I always try my best to do it all but it is getting very hard lately. Having to administrate the linky itself is very time consuming because of the nature of it (checking all the commenting is done as required and also to count and check who are the top commenters every week, etc). I end up rushing every Saturday night preparing the linky post toย have it all ready for you. I think I will need to find a solution to this issue but until I canย find one, please bearย with me guys. I will keep trying my best to comment as much as I can. You will see I haven’t finished my commenting this week and so there are some posts that will need that in order to reach the minimum of 4 comments per post. I will carry on commenting tonight and tomorrow but I promise I will finish.
As you can see the commenting hasn’t been the best this week and for the first time in a long time we have not reached the minimum of 4 comments per post. I’m very sad about it but I guess the more this linky grows the more difficult it is to achieveย but I will find a way and I know we will be able to get there. I love this community and I’m sure we will all keep sharing the love!ย Apart from thisย we still have lots of people commenting a lot which is amazing. Weย have about 35 people commenting on more than 10 posts. Thank you so much.
I also haven’t had the chance this week to get the exact people that didn’t comment on the post linked up before their post. I’m so sorry about that. I will do my best next week to have this number. 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. AGAIN,ย please do not link up and run.ย Also please do not forget to approve your comments.
THANK YOUย again to all of you that have already joined the #KCACOLS CROWD Facebook Group.ย We have 104 membersย nowย 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 RACHELย fromย Rachel Bustinย andย MAINYย from Myrealfairy.comย for helping me with the commenting this week! It was the first time that Mainy has co-hosted and she an amazing job and of course Rachel as expected she was amazing too. They both have been super helpful this week. They have been FANTASTIC! I loved having them! ย ๐ย

We arranged this a long time ago and I can’t believe the date has finally arrived. It is her first time helping me and I’m sure she will be great. She has been away to Australia and she just came back this week and has a massive jet lag so let’s be patience with her, LOL! Just kidding, she is so ready to co-host this week and read all your posts! Yaay! Please give some love to her social media accounts which areย (Twitter,ย Instagram,ย Facebookย &ย Pinterest).

For this week’s linky I am linking upย Eltham Palace Gardens Reviewย and Interpretation of your dreams – #DreamsExplainedย soย I hope you like them! ๐
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 backlink 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, Beckyย @EducatingRย and Katyย @hotpinkwelliesย 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 YouTube)ย that would be fantastic!! ๐
I look forward to reading and commenting your posts!! ๐
