Hey! I’m Laurel!

Laurel Donahoo @ THE HIVE Blog

Thank you so much for stopping by THE HIVE today! I hope you'll get comfortable and stay a little while!

Happy Deaf Awareness Week! For those who may not Happy Deaf Awareness Week! 

For those who may not know, Dempsey - our youngest - was born profoundly deaf. He couldn’t hear a darn thing from the get go. He got cochlear implants when he was nine months old and has been hearing since his activation day at ten months. This unexpected road hasn’t necessarily been easy, but it’s honestly been so joyous. We love the unique community we have found through Dempsey’s hearing loss and are grateful that God saw fit to gift us with our little Dempsey bean! 

Dempsey’s favorite trick that his hearing peers can’t do is shut sound off when it gets too loud! He just takes his coils (the little gray circle magnets) off and his hearing is OFF 😆

It’s fun watching him grow more and more comfortable with his little differences. I love the scripture in 2 Corinthians 12 that says, “But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”

Deaf kids rock!

Dempsey’s classmates asked him to help create so Dempsey’s classmates asked him to help create some ears like his for them 😭🥰

When his teacher sent me these pictures, I got super emotional. We have had such a sweet year with the coolest class & teachers. They’ve embraced my boy’s differences and loved on him so well! What a blessing it is to walk through this life surrounded by such dear people! 🫶 This mama is very very thankful!

HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY, @shopsummerhouse! 🥳✨ La HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY, @shopsummerhouse! 🥳✨

Last night was amazing… so many awesome people came to help celebrate SummerHouse & all the hard work @lpdesignlove has put in for all these years! We got to visit with design great @tarashawdesign, revel in the beauty of @flowermagazine with @margotrshaw, and artist @jennifergibbsart and I bonded over (1) her art and the mystery of her process and (2) mutual fascination for all things @wafflehouseofficial. 🧇 

I feel so blessed to have gotten to be a part of the SummerHouse family for almost 19 years… Crazy to think that I have I been adulting for that long 🤪

Love the my SH people so much! So proud of their beautiful success! 🥰

Showroom perfection coordinator award goes to @martytsmith! 🥇
