News and a Giveaway!

By

Congratulations Heidi Shipley! Email me your address, and the size you wantKelly(insert@)theSpunkyCoconut.com and I’ll get your onesie or t-shirt sent right away 🙂
 
This giveaway is now closed.
Some big changes are happening at our house. And some things are the same too. Zoe and Ashley are such a joy to spend my days with, usually 😉 They are so smart, creative, and funny. They fill me with love. You can read more about them here.
Yesterday I had a big change. I got my hair cut. Really cut. Ten-inches-going-to-Locks-of-Love-cut. I’ve been thinking about going short again since August, and I finally had to do it. I feel free as a bird with my new ‘do:

And there’s another big change on the way, that I have been aching to tell you about. I’m three months pregnant…

Here I am this morning, posing for you with a spunky onesie that I just had to get for our little B on the way. And in celebration of little B, I’m giving one of these onesies away to one of you 🙂
♥, Kelly

  3. Congrats! Won’t it be fun to see how different this pregnancy goes with all the healthy eating mommy is getting?

    We just adopted a little girl from Eastern Europe with Down’s syndrome. I would love to dress her “spunky style”!

    Emily Frye

    PS-is it weird that I have your 2 cookbooks on my birthday wish list?

  6. Congratulations!!! That’s so exciting! We actually found out we were pregnant with our first a couple weeks ago and confirmed with the doctor at our first appointment last Thursday. Can’t wait to hear about eating and nutrition with the pregnancy 😉

And super congrats on the new baby, how exciting! We’ve found out that my undiagnosed Celiac is the reason we couldn’t give our daughter a sibling…I just love to see others’ joy and live the new baby life vicariously now 😉 What a wonderful time to bring a new life into this world <3

    Thanks again for all that you do…you reinforce the philosophy I adopted the day I found out I have Celiac disease, ‘I will not live WITHOUT, I will live WITH’!!

There is NOTHING more wonderful than expecting a new little one into the family. Kids are such a joy!

  109. Congratulations Kelly! You look beautiful. Many blessings on your pregnancy – let me know if you want to celebrate it with henna. 🙂
    Peace,
    SarahKate

  110. Yay for new babies! I’m due in June, after two girls this time we get a boy! I think the onsie might be a little much for a boy, but the shirt I would LOVE to wear.

    I’m anxious to see how your pregnancy goes and how your cooking and recipes adjust with pregnancy. I’m sure you’ll have tons of good ideas I can use. The first 18 weeks were pretty rough in terms of morning sickness and I didn’t follow any of the GF recipes I’ve come to love. But, now I’m back to full energy and strength (well, most days) and ready to jump back in!

    Nice haircut!

    Terah Madrid

  111. How exciting for you and your family! Your little belly is super cute and you look so beautiful with your new sassy ‘do!

    Vanesza Girard

  112. Congrats on your cute haircut and baby bump! We would love to win any size shirt or onesie and look forward to your thoughts and experiences with nutrition and pregnancy. 🙂
    -Jessica Porter

  113. Wow! Kelly, Congratulations! You look fantastic! Keep us posted on how you are doing through your pregnancy.

    Barbara Bonar

  114. OH MY GOODNESS!! How totally exciting!! Congratulations on the new baby! Your girls are going to be such terrific helpers! Also, your hair is gorgeous!! We are so so so thrilled for your family!!

  120. Congratulations! I would have loved having a tiny baby bump like you.

    Great hair cut. One less thing to take care of when the baby comes.

  122. Congratulations!! I just love your hair…and such a wonderful donation. I just had my 3rd child after 2 very excited daughters and we were blessed with a little boy.

    Mary Catanzaro

  124. I’m currently 30 weeks preggo so I hope I win that onesie! Cute hair too, congrats!

    Thanks for inspiring me and making my hubby’s dairy-free life that much better.

    Toni Goodsell

  128. Congratulations! I’m so excited for you! Our little one will be here within 2 weeks so it’ll be fun to “watch” your pregnancy progress having just done it myself!

    And I LOVE your hair. I’ve been wanting to cut mine (probably about 12-15″ to Wigs for Kids) but can’t make the monetary commitment to regular trims/re-shaping. Although I saw a woman at church a couple weeks ago with the cutest cut – perfect for my curls…so I’ve been contemplating it again.

  129. Congrats on the new baby. I’m also expecting baby #3 (praying for no allergies for this one).

    Blessings,
    Dee Hynes

  132. so happy for your new bundle of spunky coconutty love!!! and your hair looks great. kudos to you for having the courage to do it!!

  136. How on Earth did I miss this post! Yay, you finally went public … and went big 🙂 New look with that baby bump! LOVE LOVE LOVE it. This baby couldn’t be born to a more loving, kind, patient, fun, and adventurous family. HOOORAAAAY!

    xoLexie

  141. Congrats! Your little bump is looking very cute. Ditto the hair. I love that feeling when you first cut your hair – it’s so much lighter.

  143. You need to do some new food demo videos so we can watch the baby bump grow, but keep the hair short, that style rocks on you.
    Kelly Bergner

  144. Adorable haircut! You remind us of Twiggy! Congratulations on your new baby 🙂 I’m a recent new grandma of 2 weeks ago! A new granddaughter and will have another grandbaby (boy or girl??) next month! The onsies will be a perfect gift.
    Thank you & Good luck on your baby!
    ~Heidi Shipley

  145. Congrats Kelly on the new bambino.

    Have a good day.

  146. Congratulations on the baby! your hair looks amazing! i have just discovered your wonderful cookbooks and website and am so happy and grateful…also so excited for myself and my family! thank you so much!

    Thanks

  149. Wow- what wonderful news! Congratulations on your little one! You’ll really appreciate the shorter hair when little one gets mad 🙂
    Hannah Gaitten

  151. Your haircut looks great and I am sure it feels good! I can’t wait to read more of your blog, I just found it through a fried after eating some white bean vanilla cake she made for her son’s birthday. It was such a big hit that I have to make some for myself. Good luck with the new baby.

    Gisele Long

  152. Congrats on your new do and your new little one!

  165. Congratulations! What a cute little baby bump, and how cute this idea for a giveaway. 🙂

    We just had a new little addition to our family of 5 now back in April who was born on Earth Day. 🙂 He’s 9 months now and so big!! He probably wouldn’t fit into the onsie lol. He weighs 29 lbs. He’s very happy and healthy! I would LOVE to wear the t-shirt though. 🙂

    I’m a big fan of your recipes. I’m about to make one of your dishes tonight. God bless you and your family and may you all have a happy healthy pregnancy and birth.~
