#KCACOLS – 26th November 2017

Welcome back to #KCACOLS. I hope you are all well! We had 68 link ups! 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 in the #KCACOLS linky page! 🙂

HAPPY 2ND ANNIVERSARY #KCACOLS!

I can’t believe this linky has been running for 2 years already! I was supposed to mention something about it in the last linkup but I completely forgot! Life has been so busy lately that I  missed such an important anniversary! I started this linky on 4th Oct 2015 and we are still here! I feel so proud of what we have built! This is a lovely community and we have people linking with us who have done so since we started which is so lovely! I hope you have enjoyed being part of this linky as much as I have and I hope we keep growing and can be around for much longer! Fingers crossed! 🙂

We have had another busy, but at the same time fun, 2 weeks. I attended the YouTube event organised by Britmums which was very interesting. I learnt a few things that I didn’t know before such as technical things like the type of lighting and where to find all the analytics information we need to improve our channel.

We also went as a family to a super cute pony riding school which was part of a My Little Pony on Tiny Pop event. My girls absolutely loved this event, especially Bella who love animals! We also went to the multimedia screening of Wonder. OMG that movie is super emotional! I really recommend you to watch it. It has a very important message about bullying. The cast includes Julia Roberts and Owen Wilson. Yesterday, Nick and I had fun at the Vuelio Blog Awards where it was lovely to see a few familiar faces. Finally today we have been to the press show of The Snowman theatre show in London. It was lovely! My girls, especially Sienna loved it! It is a really well done show which I highly recommend.

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 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 2 photos from the community that have caught my eye since the last link up.

This time I’m featuring photos by:

1.  LEANNE from Litte Life of Scrap

AND

      2. JADE from The Parenting Jungle

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 🙂

NOTE: you can promote your posts and social channels there too because we host different threads to support each other so that is another reason to joing us! 

NOW BACK TO THE LINKY

Unfortunately, we still have 12 posts with less than 4 comments. I was hoping to get smaller figure but it didin’t happen this time. I have chased some people very late about not commenting the post before theirs so I hope this number improves perhaps tomorrow.

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).

Now let’s carry on with the linky:

NEW RULES:

Every 2 weeks I will choose 6 people who have commented A LOT within the linky. Three will be featured and another three will be mentioned on 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 monthly guest co-host post.
• 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 @frazzledmumblog, SARAH @sarahjcronshaw 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 , Bloglovin, Google+ and YouTube) that would be fantastic!! 😉

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