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!

I’m so thrilled and honored to be a part of this I’m so thrilled and honored to be a part of this cool thing happening called @shoplocaltruth! My friend Haley felt the Lord leading her to start this business with the two main purposes of bringing awareness to eating and shopping local in Mississippi, all while pointing up to Jesus. I’m on board with all of this and am excited to see people falling more in love with local and with the Lord!!! 🤩 To find out more about @shoplocaltruth, check out the link in her bio! ✨
Had such a great night at @dumbosjxn in Fondren la Had such a great night at @dumbosjxn in Fondren last night with some super fun friends!! Thank you so much, Dumbo’s, for having us! The food and drinks were seriously incredible! Swipe to see more!! The first two pics are by the ultra talented @mlpandcophoto (also known as @mississippimomma) 💛
I had a new comment on my blog this morning on my I had a new comment on my blog this morning on my post about Dempsey’s first birthday, which of course prompted me to look back through all of the photos @ashleyupchurchphoto captured for us on that day! But this one just really made me laugh so I thought I’d leave it right here. 😂 Do you really turn one if you don’t have at least one major meltdown at your birthday party?
Let’s talk about HOPE for a sec! I loved the New Let’s talk about HOPE for a sec! I loved the New Morning Mercies reading for today talking about the topic! In a nutshell, - God hardwired human beings for hope. - What you place your hope in will set the direction of your life. - Hope always includes an expectation and an object. - Hope has to fix what is broken. - You’re always reaching for hope and preaching to yourself the validity of what you reach for. Hope is not a situation, or a location, or a possession. It’s not an insight or an experience. It’s JESUS! His promise to his people is, “I am with you always!” “[Hope] rests in the truth that Jesus has wrapped his powerful arms around you and he will never, ever let you go.” Goodness, what a secure hope that is!! I’m at peace knowing that God knows the full story and nothing surprises him. And he gracefully and mercifully gave us access to the ultimate source of HOPE!! I hope you have the best day! You are loved!!! 🥰
I had the best, most informative chat with Scott f I had the best, most informative chat with Scott from @colony_winemarket & @colonybistro today about a really great topic: clean wine! (#ad) You’ll hear more from him later this week once I have time to edit down our little chat, but I hope you’ll be as pleasantly surprised as I was to find that @colony_winemarket has SEVERAL clean wines! I took two home with me and am enjoying a glass of Pedroncelli right now! (Swipe to see the bottles!) In our chat later this week, we talk about what exactly clean wine is, for those of you who are like, what in the world is she talking about!! 😂 For now, just know that it’s BETTER, and big box stores usually don’t sell it, making shopping small and shopping local a winning strategy yet again! Cheers! 🍷

Our very very slow kitchen update is one step clos Our very very slow kitchen update is one step closer to completion today! We got our new fridge installed (which we found through @edensauctions for a GREAT price thanks to @mkatsharpe telling me about it! I owe ya one, girl!!) I say installed, but we do have to get our trim carpenter to come center it and fill in a couple of inches on either side. Our kitchen was built to house a 42” wide fridge and this one is 36. But we are making it work! LOVING my new island from @bmillworks99 and the beautiful hardware from @ridgelandspecialtyhardware. New perimeter countertops are on order and new backsplash is about to be! Then once we get those in, I want to update the hood over the range and I think we’ll be set! Oh, and some touch up painting on the cabinets. I’ve wanted to spruce up this room since before we moved in, so y’all have no idea how excited I am about all this, even if it is very slow 💛 Swipe to see what we were working with before any updates!
Another fabulous Friday for the girls is in the bo Another fabulous Friday for the girls is in the books! Sure do love one-on-one time with my funny little firecracker while the boys are in school! http://liketk.it/364uf #liketkit @liketoknow.it
