Three sets of sleeves I’m LOVING!! LES ALPES s Three sets of sleeves I’m LOVING!! LES ALPES sweater is so darn soft! It fits big, though, so I recommend sizing down! I’m wearing a medium. The cream JOY sweater is adorable! Also wearing a medium here. This same style comes in gray with a bow instead of the word joy! This denim jacket is SO MUCH FUN! I’ve gotten so many compliments on it. It’s the coolest cut! I sized up to XL because I liked the loose fit. But that’s just my preference! Here’s the link >> https://liketk.it/5xDDw OR comment LINK and I’ll dm it to you! Have a fabulous weekend!
Come tour one of my new favorite shops with me! @h Come tour one of my new favorite shops with me! @holland_and_williams_home in Fondren is the prettiest little shop with the *most* charm and the *most fabulous* orange door! 🧡 They specialize in pillows, gifts, party goods, candles, home decor, and the nicest customer service! The neutral pillows on the sofa near the front have been taking up way too much space in my thoughts so…. Those might be coming home with me soon 😆😆 Take in the H&W fabulousness with me and keep an eye on my feed for more Christmas goodness from them! And if you mention that you saw this video, they’ll give you 10% off! 🤩 Or you can use the code LAUREL10 on their website! Thank you, Holland & Williams, for letting me invade! I love what yall have going! 🧡🫶🎄
It’s our second year with a holiday home full of It’s our second year with a holiday home full of @trutonebulbs and I just love it so much!!! Tru-Tone bulbs look vintage but are actually LED so they’re not blazing hot like the ol’ nostalgic ones. I’m a huge light snob, and Tru-Tones pass the test! Not only are their bulbs gorgeous, but their bulb accessories!!! Oh my goodness! The Star-Lites are the beautiful star things you see on our flocked tree in this video and they are a DREAM. I’m still loving the Ice Lite round bulb covers that we have had for a while, too. Tru-Tone is such a fun brand with amazing products and amazing customer service. I’m blessed to get to partner with them! Comment LIGHTS for links! #gifted #brandpartner #trutoneaffiliate
The cold snap may have drained the life out of our The cold snap may have drained the life out of our lantana, but our pine straw is still looking perfectly fresh! I LOVE when @pinestrawamerica comes over and does their thing! 🥳 Now is the perfect time to get on Pinestraw America’s books so your yard looks its best for the holidays! But before you book, be sure you find out more about their Pinestraw Club memberships. With this option, you choose how many straw refreshes per year you want, then you pay monthly, rather than in large lump sums, for your services throughout the year! Comment CLUB and I’ll send you a link to their club membership page with more info! Thanks, @pinestrawamerica, for taking great care of us year after year. So grateful for your service!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our sweet Dempsey!! Oh my goodne HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our sweet Dempsey!! Oh my goodness we love this kiddo so much! He’s laid back, loving, curious, wild, smart, so super silly, tough, and just all around PRECIOUS. I thank God daily for allowing me to live life with this angel baby! He makes us laugh and makes us answer millions of questions. He loves Minecraft and math/numbers and donuts and baseball and his friends. He fights most with his sister, but has a big brother to stick up for him so it works out really well 😆 He’s loving the fact that until 12:39 today he’s still six, but then he’ll turn seven 😆 #sixseven Demps, THANK YOU for being YOU! We love how God created you and are so thankful that you’re confident and kind and just all around a lovely kid. HAPPY SEVENTH BIRTHDAY!!

It’s STUNNING. And great quality! And I absolutely can’t wait to get this beauty decorated! I’ll post about it again once that happens! 😊 You can shop King of Christmas through my affiliate link! Comment TREE and I’ll send it straight to your DMs. Or you can screen shot and copy this! >> www.kingofchristmas.com/LAUREL_AT_THEHIVE I know it’s early to decorate, but I know I’m not alone!
