#KCACOLS – 24th November 2019

Welcome back to #KCACOLS. We had 33 link ups last time! 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 on the #KCACOLS linky page! 🙂

I am so sorry that I didn’t send the Thank You email this week. I have been going through a very difficult time at home dealing with my eldest daughters severe anxiety. My head has been elsewhere so I haven’t been able to focus properly. It has been and still is a big challenge to deal with. I really hope things get better soon and it’s just a short phase.

Each linkup, I love sharing a couple of photos from my last 2 weeks on Instagram, so here are two of my favourites:

#KCACOLS ON INSTAGRAM

Thank you so much for using the #KCACOLS hashtag on Instagram for all your photos. It is lovely to see your photos there! We have more than 13.2k photos that have used the hashtag which is lovely! I love when you use the hashtag. After a lot of consideration, I have decided that I will not do a feature on my post any more. But please keep using the hashtag. I always check it and like all the photos there.

KCACOLS CROWD FACEBOOK GROUP

THANK YOU to all of you that have joined the #KCACOLS CROWD Facebook Group. You can join us here. Also if you do join, please send me a direct message with the name of your blog so then I know who you are without having to figure out your blog name 🙂

NOW BACK TO THE LINKY

If you are not already subscribed to be informed of new KCACOLS Linky emails, you can click the button below to subscribe:

Send Me #KCACOLS New Linky Notifications

We had 33 linkups! Fewer linkups that we normally do. On Thursday we had 22 posts that needed more comments which is very high. Today we reduced this number to 18 which is still very high. I am not sure what happened but this linkup hasn’t perfomed very well.

Regarding the people that have not commented on the post before theirs, we got 12 people on Thursday. Today, we managed to reduce this number to 10 people. Numbers still very high. I hope this will be different this week.

Also, remember to comment on the co-hosts posts. Please also be aware that I’m BLOCKING URLs/Emails of people that have joined the linky and have not commented on any posts for consecutive weeks. If you find I have blocked you by mistake, please contact me.

LINKY TWEETS 

I’m not tweeting individual people once the linky is live but I will tweet the people that have been featured and mentioned. I’ll also post a link to the new linky post on the KCACOLS Facebook Group, pin it on my Twitter account and on my Facebook page together with some generic tweets. I will of course, email all of you the link. If you could also share it by clicking the link below that would be FABULOUS!

Tweet Me!

Thank you so much for all your comments on the host posts and the linky post. As always, I have read and liked all your comments! We will do our best for you to receive a comment from someone on behalf of the linky (either the co-hosts or me).

GUEST CO-HOSTS FROM THE PREVIOUS LINK UP 

I would like to say THANK YOU so much to JO from A Rose Tinted World and ELLA from Typical Mummy for helping me with the commenting this week! They did a great job! 🙂 

GUEST CO-HOSTS FOR THIS LINK UP

My first co-host this week is TRACEY from The Desperate Housewife. This is the first time that Tracey is co-hosting with me and I am super excited to have her. She joined the linky this year and she has been linking up with us since then. She has been amazing with her lovely comments. I have mentioned and featured her a few times. Tracey is married and has two girls (5 & 3). She has a parenting blog. She shares vent and confides her parenthood journey in her blog.

My second guest co-host this week is KELLY-ANNE from Mimi Rose And Me. Kelly-Anne has helped me co-host the linky before. I have also mentioned and featured her before. She is lovely and she supports this linky a lot which is nice. Kelly-Anne is a writer, blogger and mum to a beautiful girl called Amelia. She is married to Tony and together they have set up their home in the beautiful countryside of Norfolk. She is a self-certified tea addict, a lover of the 50s, stationary and she eats way too much Haribo. Please give her social media accounts some love (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, & Pinterest). She will also be retweeting your tweets this week so please add her twitter handle (@Mimiroseandme) to your tweets as well as mine. Finally, she has a guest co-host post, Joules Printed Margate Floral Stripe Wellies linked up too. If you could please go there and add a comment it would be AWESOME!

FEATURED POSTS – TOP 3

The first person who commented a lot was SARAH-MARIE from Tired But Crafty Mummy. It is lovely to have Sara-Marie back at the top 3 commenters! She has been very supportive of this linky which is so nice. I am very happy to see she get this linky very well. She has done a great job commenting on many of your lovely posts. She has commented on 16 posts! Her post from last week was The Turkeys Who Had A Happy Christmas. Please visit her post and give her more love if you can.

Note: Just a quick note to mention that Tracey from The Desperate Housewife was second with 14 comments but because she is a co-host this week I am featuring Lydia who was after her)

The second person who commented a lot was LYDIA from Pandora and Max. This is the first time that I am featuring Lydia so I am really happy. I have mentioned her before but she has not been in the top 3 commenters before. She has always been very lovely with her commenting. She has commented on 13 posts! Thank you so much, LYDIA! Her post from last week was That’s a bingo!. Please go to her post and give her more love if you can.

The third person who commented a lot was JEREMY from Thirsty Daddy. This is fantastic news! I am so happy to have Jeremy back within the top 3 commenters too. He has been mentioned before and he has been featured a couple of times so it is fab. He has joined the linky for more than 2 years now. It is really nice to have a daddy blogger joining us for so long. Thank yous so much Jeremy for your support. He has commented on 10 posts! His post from last week was A Math Revolution. Please visit her post and give her more love if you can.

Now let’s carry on with the linky:

RULES:

Every 2 weeks I will choose 6 people who have commented A LOT on the linky. Three will be featured and another three will be mentioned in 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 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 @the_desp_house and KELLY-ANNE @Mimiroseandme 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, YouTube) that would be fantastic!! 😉

I look forward to reading and commenting on your posts!! 🙂
