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!

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 is a DREAM to get to collaborate this holiday s It is a DREAM to get to collaborate this holiday season with a brand I’ve admired for many years now: @kingofchristmas!! They sent us the most gorgeous pre-lit artificial tree and we *may or may not* already have it set up in the keeping room 😆 

I love this particular style: the 9 foot King Noble Flock with 700 warm LED lights. 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! Who else has already started putting up Christmas?! 🎄

Join us for an ear piercing at @heyrowan in @highl Join us for an ear piercing at @heyrowan in @highlandvillagejxn! 

Lily gal and I had a girly little date to get her ears pierced at the brand new, super cool piercing shop located right off the courtyard at Highland Village. 

Not only do we love the name of this shop (my niece’s name is Rowan!) but we were SUPER impressed with the customer service and the cleanliness! When you get your ears pierced at Rowan, it’s being done by a registered nurse who takes EVERY precaution possible! Example: after they use a pen to dot where on your earlobes the piercings will be, you get to keep the pen so your ear germs don’t get on anyone else else’s ears, and vice versa! (We love our new pen! 😆) 

On our visit, we actually had a scenario where they looked at the thickness of Lily Ryan‘s earlobe and were able to advise her as to which styles of earrings would work best for her based on thickness. That is not something I have ever experienced at an ear piercing! 😆 (Nutshell back story: this is our third attempt at ear piercing! We have dealt with some STUFF in the past and, I am happy to report after one week in, we have had no stuff to deal with this time!) So thankful! 

Thank you, Rowan, for making my girl feel at ease, giving her what I am confident is her best piercing ever, and for just being all around incredible! 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ highly recommend!!
