#KCACOLS – 3rd September 2017

Welcome back to #KCACOLS. I hope you are all well! We had 57 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! 🙂

We are reaching the end of the summer holidays! I can’ believe we have survived! It has been harder this year, but i’m not sure why! The good news is that there are only 4 more days and that will be it! Yay! I know I might sound like a terrible mother but I really need to get back to my routine! I am so behind and all over the place! Fingers crossed I manage to organise myself soon.

Bella and I spent a lot of time together the last couple of weeks. We went to a couple of events together. One of them was a Hasbro event at Battersea Dogs and Cats Home. This was a really nice event because we had a tour around this lovely place and we also learnt a lot about how they take care of the dogs and cats their. Bella really enjoyed it. The other event was the Fat Face Christmas Event where they showed us their latest range. We really like it. Bella fell in love with a really fluffy onsie!

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.  NATALIE from Meme and Harri

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

We got 57 links! This is the quietest link up since we started the linky! It was a surprise for me but I would like to think it is because we are at the end of the summer holidays and hopefully things will come back to normal soon. Anyway, by Thursday, we had 34 posts that still needed more love with about 18 people who had not commented on the post before theirs. This number was a little bit high considering we only had 57 links.

By Saturday this number was reduced to 22 and 8 respectively. As always, I have reminded people about commenting today but it was a little bit late, so let’s hope we manage to improve the numbers.  From the 22 posts I mentioned, 6 have 2 comments and the remaining 16 have 3 comments. The remaining 35 posts have 4 or more comments.

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 Facebook Group, pin it on my Twitter account and on my Facebook page together with some generic tweets. And of course, I will email all of you the link. If you could also share it by clicking the link below that would be FABULOUS!

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, MARIA @suburb4nmum, CASSIE @GorgeousGsmama and SARA @mindyourmamma 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!! 🙂
