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!

Last day of sofa lunches and PJs til noon for ol’ Demps! He’s so excited to start school tomorrow! I think I’m most excited though! 😅 #thehiveathome
Today I wanted to share one of my favorite photo h Today I wanted to share one of my favorite photo hacks!! You might already know this, but if you don’t… when you use the LIVE photo option, your photo is actually about a four second video! You can hit “edit” in the upper right corner of your photo, the use the circle on the bottom left and select your favorite frame from the video. Make that your key photo and you can edit that as your final photo! This little photo shoot to capture this awesome @chichiclothing dress took about two minutes and, because of the Live Photos, I ended up with about a hundred frames to choose from! (I did use a tripod and a Bluetooth remote in this shoot, too!) I like this option because I feel like your photo in the end is more candid and natural feeling! I use this hack with kids photos all the time! I just love it and I hope you do too!! 🤩🤩 *Thank you, @chichiclothing, for sharing your beautiful threads with me! Shop their gorgeous dresses via the link in their bio!* #summerstyle #fallstyle #eyelet #chichigirl #iamchichi

. “Hallelujah, praise the one who set me free Ha . “Hallelujah, praise the one who set me free Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me You have broken every chain There's salvation in your name Jesus Christ, my living hope Then came the morning that sealed the promise Your buried body began to breathe Out of the silence, the roaring lion Declared the grave has no claim on me” These lyrics from the song Living Hope spoke to my heart this morning! What great HOPE there is in Jesus 💗

Cinnamon rolls for first-day-of-school breakfast, Cinnamon rolls for first-day-of-school breakfast, as specifically requested by the kiddos! I had no idea the kids even really liked these cinnamon rolls — I personally love them so I make them for Christmas morning every year — but thanks to a small deck of conversation cards from a chick-fil-a kids meal, I found out that these are something my older two look forward to all year long! I truly had no idea! Sometimes I guess our kids (and really ALL if us in certain settings if we stop and think about it) are quicker to point out when they DON’T like something vs when they DO like something. So (1) I’m gonna try to help my kids point out more positives by consciously *trying* to model that myself, and (2) I am so thrilled to know about something I can make for my babies that just delights them! I guess the moral of the story here is to point out little positives whenever you think about it, and to actually use those chick-fil-a convo cards! Haha there are some really good questions in those!! The link to this cinnamon roll recipe is in my stories as I type this, and will soon have a permanent home on thehiveblog.com! 🤩 Happy first day of school to everyone who started back today!!
