Happy Bank Holiday Weekend! Hello and welcome back to #KCACOLS. I hope you are all well! We had 47 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! 🙂
The last couple of weeks have been intense! We have been very busy. May is a month full of celebrations and anniversaries. One of those birthdays was mine! To celebrate I decided to pamper myself! I had a manicure and pedicure the day before. I bought a top that says: “May 1977: 41 years of being a Perfect Mixture of Princess and Warrior”, LOL! I also got my hair chopped very short and went out for a meal with Nick! It was a lovely day!
Last weekend we went to a My Little Pony event at Mudchute Farm on the Isle of Dogs in London. It was good fun for the girls. It was so sunny and warm that day too!
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 10k 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 NATALIE from Memeandharri. See her photo below:
KCACOLS CROWD FACEBOOK GROUP

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 47 link ups and about 13 posts needed more comments. By Saturday we reduced this number to 1. Hurrah! So happy about that! This last post has 3 comments so it will need just one more comment to get 4 comments. So if you would like to do another comment, you can spread the love to post No 26. 😉 So this means that we got 46 posts with 4 or comments this time! Yee! So pleased with that! Thank you so much to all the people that have commented a lot!
Regarding the people that have not commented on the post before theirs, we got 8 people on Thursday. By Saturday morning, this number was reduced to 3! I am happy that we managed to reduced this number. I have messaged these 3 people so they can complete their comments! Fingers crossed they do!
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.
FORTNIGHTLY LINKY The linky will be open for 2 weeks until the second Wednesday at 8 pm or until we reach 100 link ups, whichever comes first. The co-hosts and I will be allowed to change our posts on the following Saturday after the linky is live. Please be aware of these changes during the second week. I would suggest that you link up one post each week so you will be able to share something different and current each week. I will also be more strict regarding commenting on the post before yours. |
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!
PLEASE REMEMBER
|
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR NEW LINKERS: PLEASE START by commenting on the post linked up before yours FIRST and then comment on any other posts as much as you would like. Also, use the hashtag #KCACOLS when commenting (this is indeed very important so I can then see how many comments you are doing and then be able to feature you in my linky post which is always great for you as you get a backlink which helps improve your DA). |
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).

She is married and a mum of one. She has a background in Graphic Design and for the last 9 years, she has worked in website management, digital marketing and social media.

[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, SARAH @sarahjcronshaw and EMMA @meandbmaketea 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!! 🙂

Hi Franca, gutted I didn’t have enough time to get all the comments in on last week’s linky! It’s been hectic – planning a 2 year old’s Moana party amongst other things! Thanks for hosting #KCACOLS

Amy says
An hour to go and I’ve had some views but only one comment on each post would love some more as I stayed up until 2am commenting on all of them !!! Then my little bit woke at 4am… x
amomentwithfranca says
Hi Amy. The linky is over but the commenting is still on until the new link up on Saturday. If you have commented on all posts then you will be featured on sat which means that you will get a back link. That is the insensitive for commenting a lot. Regarding receiving more comments, you will as I will send an email to all the people that have linked up tomorrow with a list of posts that will need more comments so we hopefully reach 4 comments per post. I can’t promise it will definitely happen but I encourage the community to comment more and they normally do. I hope this helps to understand a little bit more how this linky works. Thanks.
