#KCACOLS – 3rd February 2019

Welcome back to #KCACOLS. I hope you are all well! We had 54 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! 🙂

This week we woke up to a lovely view of snow! It’s not often we get snow in London so the girls were very excited about it. I also ended up doing my tax return at the last minute this week. I managed to get it done on time but only a few hours before midnight! Next time I will definitely be starting it earlier!

Each link up, I love sharing a couple of photos from my last 2 weeks on Instagram, so here are two of my favourites:

*GETTING WARM AND COSY WITH REGATTA OUTDOORS* We have worked together with @regattaoutdoors many times in the past and we are big fans of their products. This winter they sent us some jackets (swipe left to see more photos of what we got) to keep the whole family warm and dry during the colder weather. And let me tell you, we REALLY need them! It is freezing cold out there! We love that not only do their products keep us dry and warm but we also look and feel good. I know they will also be of great quality too, which is another thing we like so much about their clothes. We love that we can always find everything we need for the whole family! Their prices are very affordable too and they often have special offers and promotions! I have published a blog post with lots of photos of our jackets. You can check it out here (https://www.amomentwithfranca.com/regatta-outdoors-fabulous-winter-jackets-for-the-whole-family) or by clicking the link in my bio 😊 Are you and your family ready for this winter? #RegattaGreatOutdoors #familyclothes #jackets #winterclothes #gifted

#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 11.7k 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 BETH from Life as Mum. See her photo below:

Today has been one tough day. Not really sure what to say and don’t really have anything to post. I am feeling so drained and just want this week to end. I’m going to have a panad ☕️ then go for an early night. I hope you all had a great day! • • • #channelmum #channelmumvillage #myhappycapture #northwales #northwalesphotography #welshblogger #freerangekids #wheremywelliestakeme #rockingmotherhood #pbloggersuk #kcacols

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 🙂

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 56 link ups. We had 2 posts that needed more comments on Friday. But by Saturday morning we reduce this to 0 posts. HURRAH! So all the 56 posts that were linkup had 4 or more comments! That is brilliant! I am so happy about that! Thank you so much for all your comments!

Regarding the people that have not commented on the post before theirs, we got 14 people on Thursday. By Saturday morning we reduced this number to 5. I thought that was great too!

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!

Tweet Me!

PLEASE REMEMBER I am not pushing for the 4 comments per post anymore. I will keep showing a list of posts that have fewer comments on my Thank You email to encourage people to comment more on those but after that, I will not keep asking. It will be lovely if we can get a minimum of 2 comments per post but of course, we should be aiming for more. To approve your comments and check your SPAM folders (this is such a HUGE problem for me as it keeps being part of why I can’t have a current list as I know for sure lots of posts have comments that have not been approved yet) I’m expecting a minimum of 4 comments per person (1 host, 2 co-hosts and the post before yours) and if you link up 2 posts I would expect 5 comments as a minimum per person (1 host, 2 co-hosts, the posts before yours and 1 more ) To comment on the post before yours. If you have any problems commenting on the post before yours please just send me a message and I will do my best to help. If you receive a lot of comments, try to reciprocate to the ones that have taken the time to comment on your post. It is all about being generous with each other and spreading lots of love. Do not link up and run. Do not forget to add the linky badge.

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).

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 MAINY @myrealfairy 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!! 🙂
