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!

We made it! Such fun going OVER THE EDGE with @mar We made it! Such fun going OVER THE EDGE with @maribethmcmillan and @fiserag (and in spirit with @kellyhstringer, @kara.beautifullyscattered, and @lindsey0813!) to support @friendsofch_ms šŸ’›

Also- THANK YOU to everyone who donated to this cause!! Over $141,000 was raised for the children’s hospital through this event!! That’s absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!
Another ā€˜Fridays are for the Girls’ is in le b Another ā€˜Fridays are for the Girls’ is in le book! Lily Ry got in lots and lots of goat screams... which takes me back to her birthday party where we surprised her with screaming goats! (This pic is from that day!) It was a blast, and her random goat screams (she got this from the Illumination version of The Grinch) will always make me laugh šŸ˜‚ 

I’m gonna miss our girly Fridays when she starts kindergarten!! For now, I’ll just delight in every one we have left! šŸ’›

Happy weekend!

Today marks the 16 year anniversary of our very fi Today marks the 16 year anniversary of our very first date! 🄰 (ad) Because schedules be cray, we celebrated a day early with a lunch date at @colonybistro yesterday and it was SO GREAT! I got the Cubano and @pricedonahoo got the burger and we loved every bite! I went crazy and ordered a glass of wine with lunch- I let the bartender pick what she thought would pair best with my sandwich- and what she brought me was just lovely! Price tried it too and loved it, so we popped next door to @colony_winemarket right after lunch to grab a bottle to take home! Because @colonybistro gets all their wine from @colony_winemarket, it’s so easy to do that! 

If you haven’t tried @colonybistro for lunch, I highly recommend! They’re open M-F from 11-2! They have tapas, salads, sandwiches, and more. And I love the atmosphere in there! They just do a really great job šŸ’› 

Back to our first date— it was at Applebee’s and I remember ordering chicken tenders šŸ˜‚ I’m so glad my palette has expanded since then!

Hope you’re having the best day! 🤩

Art, Wine, & Wheels is just around the corner! (Ad Art, Wine, & Wheels is just around the corner! (Ad) It’s happening in Ridgeland at @renaissanceatcolonypark Friday April 30 - Sunday May 2 and it’s going to be a blast! Three of Ridgeland’s premier events (Ridgeland Fine Arts Festival, Sante South Wine Festival and the Natchez Trace Century Ride) are joining forces, so although Art, Wine, & Wheels is new, it’s also kinda not! šŸ˜† It’s like a triplet event! 

I’m beyond pumped because in addition to artist booths and Sante South wine tents (more on these things later!), they’re going to have kids’ craft stations and a dog park set up! So it’s truly an event that the entire family will enjoy- pups included! 

The festival fun kicks off the evening of Friday the 30th and runs through Sunday the 2nd. I’m SO excited and cannot wait to enjoy all of the things @visitridgelandms has planned! I hope to see you out there too! 🤩
It’s National Grilled Cheese Day, so it’s my h It’s National Grilled Cheese Day, so it’s my honor to get to team up with the purveyors of my favorite grilled cheese sandwich, @brentsdrugs, for a $50 gift card giveaway!! Brent’s grilled cheese sandwiches and limeades are a defining meal in my childhood memory bank, so I love the chance to enjoy this simple, soul-satisfying meal whenever I can! 🄰 It never disappoints! And, in my opinion, EVERY day is a great day to celebrate a grilled cheese! šŸ˜†

That painting, which looks kinda like a planet to me, painted by Price’s grandmother #RitaHalbrook, and that little piano, which makes me think of the composer Beethoven, together tell me that deaf people can change the world šŸŒŽšŸ„°
Happy Friday from this bubbly sister! I think she’s as big a fan of our new little table, fun planter, and happy pillow from @theoutletjxn as I am! We needed a little patio refresh! 🤩
