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!

This book!!! My sweet cousin @belljericho introduc This book!!! My sweet cousin @belljericho introduced me to it and it is THE SWEETEST. Truly. Gorgeous illustrations, and the most precious words with so much heart behind them. Four unlikely friends, their kindness, their wisdom, and one’s love for cake 🎂 will win you right over! It’s not exactly a children’s book, but it kind of is. It’s just a GREAT book for any one of any age by an author who likes plenty of pictures with his words, and he does a great job of providing both beautifully. Have you read this book?! Do you love it too?! Please go to your local bookstore and look for Charlie Mackesy’s The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse. Or comment FRIENDS below and I’ll shoot a link to your DMs. It’ll make your heart swell! 🥰💛
We recently had a date night to @amerigo_restauran We recently had a date night to @amerigo_restaurant and it was soooo good (as always!) I’ve been wanting to check out their NEW SUMMER MENU (hold at the end of the video to see all the seasonal options) so I ordered the peach pizza with pancetta and hot honey an oh my goodness was it delish! 😋 Price went with an old pasta favorite, which hit the spot like it always does, and of course the wine + cocktails were the perfect compliments to our lovely meal! We love this restaurant so much and always have the best time there. Thank you, @amerigo_restaurant, for just being the best! 💛 Until next time! 😘
Comment MAHJ for a link to this so-super-cute floa Comment MAHJ for a link to this so-super-cute floating mahjong set!! 🍋 It’s from Sam’s so you know it was a great price. $150 for everything!! Cannot wait to get our pool mahj on when we go to the beach soon! 😎
The most fun day with my babies!!! A while back, The most fun day with my babies!!! A while back, one of my kiddos said he (or she 🤪) didn’t think that knowing about the color wheel was important, so I took that statement as a challenge and set aside a day for us to learn that the color wheel + compliments & contrasts + color mixing actually ARE important! I personally feel that knowing all about color helps us appreciate God’s beautiful creation even more than we already do! The vibrancy of wild flowers, the complimentary colors on tree leaves, the monochromatic color schemes God uses in the clouds… it’s all so meaningful! After brunch at @elviesrestaurant where I showed them a little slide show about color, then a coffee stop at @cultivatecoffeeproject, we headed to @msmuseumart! We each took a few Polaroids throughout the morning highlighting some sort of color story we each selected. Dempsey chose neutrals, Wilson chose pops of red, Lily chose the red & green compliment, and I chose monochrome! Sadly we ran out of Polaroid film so we didn’t get to take quite as many pics as we wanted to but it was still a fun project! 😆 After the art museum, the kids asked if we could do the Mississippi History Museum since we were already downtown, so we went for it! Such a great museum if you’ve never been 🫶 Overall it was a wonderful day, and it is my hope that all my babies appreciate color (and MS history) more than they did when they woke up! Grateful for a free day to get to spend with them. God is good, and color is beautiful!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my beautiful Marmee! It’s a bi HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my beautiful Marmee! It’s a big one this year, and she makes it look so good! We love you soooooo much @maryleehuntmiller and wish you the very very best day and year!
