#KCACOLS – 26th May 2019

Welcome back to #KCACOLS. I hope you are all well! We had 36 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! 🙂

Happy bank holiday weekend and hello half term. The last couple of weeks have been busy. We celebrated Bella’s birthday and also my birthday. We both had two fun days. Bella celebrated at KidZania and I celebrated at a school party. I loved it because we even had a little bit of dance too. I enjoyed a few gin and tonics with some canapes and and had fun with some great company!

Last Sunday, Bella and I went to Covent Garden for a lovely meal at Tredwells and then to watch Matilda The Musical. We saw this show in 2016 and Bella loved it then so she was super excited to watch it again, especially because this time we had press tickets so we were able to get very close to the stage. We had a great time.

Meanwhile, last weekend, Sienna was busy attending 2 birthday parties. She seems to have so many parties lately. She has a better social life than me, LOL!

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! I am so excited that we have more than 12.5k photos that have used the hashtag! I am thrilled! I would love it if more of you could use the hashtag for your photos and of course it would be even better if we all also spread some love there! I am featuring 1 photo from the community that has caught my eye since the last link up. This time I’m featuring SUSAN from You are my sunshine. See her photo below:

NOW BACK TO THE LINKY

Send Me #KCACOLS New Linky Notifications

We had again 36 link ups. I was super happy to only have 2 posts that needed more comments on Thursday. I was worried about the commenting a few linkups ago and now it is so lovely to see that we are back as to how we used to be. And by today I am so happy to say that we managed to get all posts with more than 4 comments! Hurrah! That was amazing! Thank you so much!

Regarding the people that have not commented on the post before theirs, we got 7 people and 1 person missed to use the hashtag on Thursday. By Saturday morning we reduced this number to 1 which is great as the other one was a comment that missed the hashtag.

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!

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).

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, RACHEL @KidsCuddlesMP and ROBYN @peachy_diary 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!! 🙂
