#KCACOLS – 25th November 2018

Welcome back to #KCACOLS. I hope you are all well! We had 44 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 can’t believe November will be over in less than a week! These last two weeks have passed very quickly for me. I can feel the Christmas atmosphere everywhere. Our Christmas tree will be delivered next week so we are all super excited about that!

Thanks to Halfords, the girls had new bikes to enjoy as an early Christmas present! They were over the moon about it. We have never bought them bikes before so it has been very special for them. Halfords are currently offering 20% off on kids bikes so have a look if you are thinking of getting bikes for your little ones this Christmas! 🙂

We also went to Dorset for the weekend and it was lovely! It is always great to get out of London and breathe in some fresh air. We stayed at Knoll House Hotel which is perfect for families. They have so many great services to help us with the kids. They are also in front of the beach so the views are gorgeous. It was cold when we stayed there but can’t wait to go back in the summer. It must be lovely at that time of the year.

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

Thank you so much for using the #KCACOLS hashtag on Instagram for all your photos. It is lovely to see your photos there!

Send Me #KCACOLS New Linky Notifications

We had 44 link ups. We have 12 that needed more comments on Saturday. But by Saturday morning we managed to reduce this to 6 posts. One of them didn’t have a comment section in please so I shouldn’t count it and the other 5 had 3 comments each so not that bad really. So we got 38 posts with 4 comments or more which is great! Thank you so much for all your comments!

Regarding the people that have not commented on the post before theirs, we got 11 people on Thursday. I haven’t had the chance to check the update for this today because little Sienna hasn’t been very well so I didn’t have the time. Sorry about that.

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.

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!

[do_widget id=”text-21″ title=false]

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, MALIN @senlearnuk and LAURA @mummylauretta  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 on your posts!! 🙂
