#KCACOLS – 3rd April 2016

amomentwithfranca · 2 April 2016 · 19 Comments

Welcome back to my linky #KCACOLS. I hope you all had a great couple of weeks!! Thank you again for all your support. We did GREAT last time with 83 link ups!! THANK YOU ALL so much for being part of this linky! 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 more about this linky from the #KCACOLS linky page! 🙂

I hope you are enjoying having your children around or maybe you are like me and you are just counting the days for the break to end soon, LOL! Bella’s school holidays are for 3 weeks which is a LOT! I was actually lucky because Bella is spending this week at her grandparents so I’ve just had Sienna to take care of which makes things easier, although the little one can be very demanding!

Kiyan

As some of you know from my Thank You email sent a week a go, we lost our beautiful Persian cat Kiyan and we have been incredibly sad at home. Going away last weekend helped us to be away from the house because it is just so difficult no longer seeing him in all the places he liked to be in each corner of our home. We received his ashes today and we plan to spread them together with his brother’s ashes in an open green, beautiful and peaceful area so we can get some closure. It is never nice to lose a pet! Kiyan we miss you a lot and you will be always in our hearts! 🙁

Now to the linky. This week the commenting was not very good. I hope I can blame this on the fact that it has been Easter and that we are in the middle of the school holidays! Fingers crossed it is that! Having said that there were still some posts that had up to 13 comments from this linky which is amazing. This time there were 10 posts with 3 comments. The rest of the posts had between 4 and 13 comments! Also for this week the last couple of posts linked up had 5 comments each which is really good. THANK YOU to all of you that love being generous and spreading lots of love!! Let’s try to do more of this and hope this new week is better than ever!

We had 10  people that didn’t comment on the post before their post which made me very sad as we were improving this number every week!! 🙁 Please guys let’s try to reduce this number. Do your best to follow the rules so we will all benefit from this. This is the only way for this linky to work. PLEASE always remember to start with the comment of the post linked up before yours first and then go around as much as you would like. Also, for new people that link up this week please 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. I read them all and I have liked them all!

CO-HOSTING: If you would like to co-host with me you need to first be a regular to this linky and know all the rules. You can always ask to be booked for a future date but at least I would like you to have had at least one month of linking up with #KCACOLS.   So, if you are free and would  like to be my second guest co-host for one week please send an email to fr****@***************ca.com. 

FeaturedPost_Suburban_Mum

FeaturedPost_LifeAtHomeWithMrsB

I would like to say THANK YOU so much to MARIA from Suburban Mum and RACHEL from Life at Home with Mrs B for helping me with the commenting this week! They were both AMAZING as always. MARIA & RACHEL you are AWESOME!!!

Featured Post Mommys Little Princesses

My first guest co-host this week is SANDY from Mommy’s Little Princesses. We had Sandy co-hosting for the first time in January so this will be her second time. I’m so happy to have her again this week.

FeaturedPost_Sons_Sand_and_Sauvignon

My second guest co-host for this week is CLARE from Sons, Sand and Sauvignon.  I’m very happy to have Clare this week. This will be her first time co-hosting KCACOLS so we are both really excited about it!! Please give her some love. These are her social media accounts (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, & Pinterest). She will also be retweeting your tweets this week so please add her twitter handle (@sonssandandsauv) to your tweets as well as mine. Finally she has a guest co-host post, Before He had Autism linked up too. Please if you could go there and add a comment it would be AWESOME!!

FeaturedPost_Island_Living

For last week, the person who commented the most was EMMA from Island Living 365.I have featured her before so we are all familiar with her. She has been commenting A LOT which is really nice. She has been spreading so much love to you guys!! She commented on 40 posts!!  How amazing is that!! Thank you so much EMMA! You are A STAR! One of her posts from last week was Chasing Your Dreams . If you haven’t read it already, go and check it out now! 😉

FeaturedPost_Mumzilla

The second person who commented a lot this week was SARAH from Mumzilla. I have mentioned Sarah before but she has never been featured. She has not long joined this linky but since she has been with us she has been so generous with her commenting, always spreading so much love around! She has commented on 29 posts which is FANTASTIC!! Thank you so much SARAH! YOU ARE AMAZING. Her post from last week was The Parent Hangover. Please go and check it out! 🙂

FeaturedPost_Coombe_Mill

The third person who has commented a lot this week is FIONA from Coombe Mill. This is not the first time that I’m featuring Fiona. She has been a regular to this linky since it started and I feel incredibly lucky that she joins us almost every week!! She is always commenting a lot and spreading lots of love too! I love that!! She commented on 21 posts which is BRILLIANT!! Thank you so much FIONA!

Behind Emma, Sarah and Fiona was CLAIRE from The Pramshed  with 19 comments, KAT from Candyfloss and Dreams with 18 comments and TRACEY from One Frazzled Mum with 16 comments.Thank you so much lovely ladies!!! 🙂

For this week’s linky I am linking up 2 posts: “Peter Rabbit at Willows Activity Farm” and “5 Safety Proof Tips For Kids Rooms“ so I hope you like them! 😉

Please do not forget to follow and check out the #KCACOLS Pinterest Board. We have pinned all your posts from the last linky so please go and have a look. There are some great posts that deserve a read!

[do_widget id=”text-21″ title=false]

Now let’s carry on with the linky:

RULES:

Each week 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 Saturday linky post. This means that 6 people will get a back link on my new linky post each 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 per week.

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 on as I will be linking up 2 posts every week if possible). Then comment the guest co-hosts. Then comment on 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 Saturday from 10 pm and will remain open until Wednesday at 11.59 pm.

6. If you would like us to tweet your post that is absolutely fine, just tweet your link to me @WithFranca, Sandy @Sandy_heard and Clare @sonssandandsauv we will both 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 and Google+) that would be fantastic!! 😉

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

    So sorry to hear about Kiyan. Pets are such a huge part of the family and I can understand why you wanted to get away from home for a bit. It’s very touchy what you did with the ashes. Sending hugs xx
