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!

✨ Spring break highlights ✨ Stayed close to h ✨ Spring break highlights ✨ Stayed close to home this year and enjoyed lots of friends, family, spend-tha-nights, games, cooking, sunshine, and just general goodness! I find myself just extra thankful this time of year for the newness, growth, and sacrifice of the spring season. So thankful to be loved by Jesus and be a recipient of his mercy and miracles every single day. Miracles are all around us if we just look for them. Wilson actually reminded me of that very truth this spring break and it will stick with me forever! I hope you have a beautiful, springy week of noticing all the miracles around you!! 🌼💫
Happy National French Bread Day!! This is one ho Happy National French Bread Day!! This is one holiday I can EASILY get behind. Loooove me some French-inspired carbs! I’m still working on the sweet, chocolate chip laced French bread I mentioned in a post last week… maybe I’ll find time today for another attempt! 🥰 Do you celebrate?! 🇫🇷🥖
DIY some cake stands with me! All materials are fr DIY some cake stands with me! All materials are from Hob Lob. Check back next week to see how these were used at a par-tay!
Sometimes I think I sound decent singing in the ca Sometimes I think I sound decent singing in the car… until I turn the music down and realize I DON’T! 😂 BUT, nobody’s gonna stop me! Or bring me down, even! (Also— to my friends who actually can sing— your gifts are incredible!! Wish I had a little pinch of those gifts! 😘)
The life of a balloon arch, in reverse! 🎈 thes The life of a balloon arch, in reverse! 🎈 these fun little balls of color are currently hanging in Lily Ryan’s room! 🎈 before that, we used them at her birthday party! 🎈 before THAT (before adding yellow and orange), they were Valentine’s / DNOW decorations! 🎈 aaaaand before that, they started out as just soft pinks and soft oranges for a baby shower at @shopsummerhouse! I’ll always be amazed at how long a balloon arch can live, ESPECIALLY if they’re high quality balloons from a boutique balloon arch creator! (These are not great quality and they’re still hanging on!)
Howdy! Today feels like a good day for a little in Howdy! Today feels like a good day for a little intro post since I can’t remember the last time I did one! My name is Laurel and I live in Madison, MS! I love Jesus and pray that, in some small way, my life may point others to the fullness that is found in Him! He changes the way I see the world and I am so grateful 😍 I’m married to my college sweetheart - only the 2nd guy I ever dated and the only guy who makes me hurt with laughter on the reg- the one and only @pricedonahoo! We have three beautiful blonde babies who add so much joy and action to our lives! I get the pleasure of creating social media content for several small businesses as my “day job” and try my best to enjoy the small moments every single day when my kids get home from school as I *try* to hide my phone and enter their worlds as a leader and a fellow life-lover with them! I’ve always been into celebrating the big things AND the small things!! We recently got a “celebrate everything” calendar with all the obscure holidays and we try to dive into one every week or two! I think national mint chocolate chip day and international croissant day have been the faves so far in 2025! 🥳 I love coffee and bubbly and rechargeable tap lamps and charcuterie and books (when I have time to read) and I think about Paris and baking every single day. Currently working on perfecting a certain Parisian sweet bread recipe 💛 but apparently I’m not disciplined enough to get it quite right quiiiite yet! 🤞SOON!🤞 The last three movies I’ve seen are the original Mary Poppins, Dog Man, and the newest Little Women. My biggest fear is getting hit in the Achilles by a shopping cart when I take my kids with me to any store with carts We love to travel. We love going out to eat. We love family game night. We love being outside! I’m 6 feet tall but told Price when we first met that I was 5’12” and I think that’s when he fell in love with me bc I’m so clever 🤪😆 That’s about all I got for the time being! THANK YOU for being here and for your support! I’m so grateful for you and I hope you feel all the love today! What do I need to know about YOU?!?!

What a SWEET morning with this wild one at the @ch What a SWEET morning with this wild one at the @childrensofms Radiothon! We absolutely love getting to be a part of this event every year, helping raise awareness for our state’s only kid-dedicated hospital! Going back to the beginning of Dempsey’s hearing loss journey- and seeing how far he’s come, even with a handful of setbacks- is so humbling! Our family could not be more grateful for those who dedicate their time and craft to @childrensofms. We are beyond blessed by the goodness we’ve experienced through this sweet hospital. Thank you, God, for the smart folks who help our deaf baby hear. And for all the many many other doctors and specialists who love on ALL the kids who come through those doors at UMMC. If you’d like to give a small one-time or monthly gift to the hospital to help it continue blessing kids in and around Mississippi, please text GROW to 51555. YOU get to be a part of the miracles!!! 🥰🫶
