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!

Have you heard of a butter board? After two friend Have you heard of a butter board? After two friends sent me reels about this in the same day, I knew I HAD to see what these were all about! This was my first one, so it was slightly experimental, but boy was it fun!! Yes, it’s fatty. Yes, it’s lush. Yes, it’s extra. But OH MY GOODNESS. It was the BEST! Lily Ryan and I made this together in about five minutes. It was so easy! Really the only forethought involved is to set out your butter a few hours before making so it can soften. We used several things we had on hand (or could easily produce) as our “toppings!” - coarse sea salt - everything but the bagel seasoning - fig and balsamic glaze - lemon zest (which lily Ryan did while I did the butter) - fresh rosemary I’ve seen several people talk about the importance of FRESH bread (rather than crostini) and I realized that the fresh is important because you can dip it in the butter more easily! Have you made one of these yet? Has anyone used sweet toppings?!?! I certainly plan to make more of them, so stay tuned 🤪
ALL SMILES because of that ten day forecast 🍁☀️🍂

When you have cochlear implants, not only do you g When you have cochlear implants, not only do you get a regular birthday, but you also get a HEARING birthday! It’s been three amazing years since Dempsey’s first encounter with sound and it’s been A M A Z I N G watching him grow! We love a good reason to have a celebration, and I’d say our deaf baby being able to hear (and speak) is a great reason for a mini party!! 🥳 Dempsey was implanted at nine months and activated at ten months, on September 26th, 2019! We thank God every day for the JOY that flows abundantly through this crazy hearing loss journey. Even on the hard days. Our great big God is so very good and loving and gracious!! And I must take a moment to toot Wil and Lil’s horns. They’ve always been such great sports about helping Dempsey with his homework, swapping out his ear batteries, not complaining if I have to turn around because I forgot his water wear on the way to the pool, helping babysitters and other adults with any questions they have about Demps’s ears if Price and I aren’t around, correcting him if he says something incorrectly, and just being the biggest and best cheerleaders for him! We couldn’t ask for better big siblings! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DEMPSEY’S EARS!! Thank you, @whimsycookieridgeland for the WONDERFUL cookies!!) (And thank you for reading this far 🤪 I tend to get wordy in settings like this 😂 I’m so thankful to have each of you behind us in this journey, too!) XO!!

When your day starts with getting your hair done, When your day starts with getting your hair done, it’s gonna be a great day! Even better when @parkwayperk coffee is in hand 🤩 @_mollygee_ always makes me feel like a million bucks with a wash, cut, blow dry, and style! And I love how well my balayage, that I got done in MARCH, is holding out… the blonde is still so nice! This is what happens when you go to the best! I get a balayage once a year and enjoy the grow out process in between colorings! I highly recommend balayages if you like the color your hair naturally grows 💛 Thanks, @mollygeeandco, for another fabulous visit to your cute salon! #brandpartner #haircut #balayage
I didn’t realize this while we were there in Jul I didn’t realize this while we were there in July, but the Bahamas is believed to be the original landing site of Christopher Columbus when he went in search of the new world! I find that so interesting because it’s so far away from the place I picture when ol’ Chris comes to mind 😂 Whether that little “fact” is true or not, The Bahamas was SO beautiful and so good to us, and experiencing it on a sailboat just made it that much more exciting! Check out my Bahamas highlight for more from that trip! 💛 #bahamas #thebahamas #travel #sailing #sailthebahamas #sailboat #wanderlust
