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!

☀️ thankful ☀️ ☀️ thankful ☀️
Braves, belugas, Cokes, car naps, pancakes, parks, Braves, belugas, Cokes, car naps, pancakes, parks, walking, weirdos… it’s been a full, interesting, WONDERFUL day in the ATL!!
Can I share something that’s really making my he Can I share something that’s really making my heart smile right now? Something I just learned while going back and taking my time on The Bible Recap summer months from last year (because there were days I rushed through to check it off the list, and I didn’t have time to sit with the goodness, so I started summer over and am going slowly) is THIS— “Proverbs 25:2 says, "It is the glory of God to conceal things, but the glory of kings is to search things out." Sometimes God is more glorified in mystery than in revealing everything. And sometimes the only reason we seek answers is because we're proud or impatient or don't want to have to trust God. The leaders among men are supposed to have all the answers, but the ultimate Leader of all mankind is the only one who truly does, and sometimes, He just isn't telling. This is humbling to us but glorifying to God. Any time He conceals things from us, we can rest assured that it's ultimately in our best interest. He doesn't play hide-and-seek with anything we need to know to obey Him. He's not cruel. He's intentional with all the details and with His timing in revealing them. He's where the joy is!” Isn’t that BEAUTIFUL and GOLDEN?! More beautiful than a flower crown and more golden than a yellow dress, even?! 😆 I hope that gives you some rest during your seasons of mystery and uncertainty. I know it does with me 💛 Have a GREAT day!! ☀️
One of our biggest “discussions” when we moved One of our biggest “discussions” when we moved into our current house was whether to put art or a TV above the mantle in our living room. TV won, and I’m glad it did because that’s where we do most of our family watching!, but NOWWWWW art wins, too, with this Samsung Frame tv! It looks like art when you’re not watching! 🤩 You have tons of options for frames, then once it’s installed, you have tons of options for art! We are really really enjoying this smart compromise, which I’m certain Samsung developed after they heard about other marital discussions much like ours 😆 Our tv and bezel (which is what they call the actual frame) are linked! Also, pay the extra $$ to have Best Buy install everything!!! Trust me on this!!

“Marriage has the power to set the course of you “Marriage has the power to set the course of your life as a whole. If your marriage is strong, even if all the circumstances in your life around you are filled with trouble and weakness, it won't matter. You will be able to move out into the world in strength.” - Tim Keller Happy 14 years of being married to you, @pricedonahoo!!!! Beyond thankful for you and for our firm foundation. You are my FAVORITE! “A strong marriage where love between spouses is visible and tangible provides security and stability for children and an atmosphere in which they can thrive. When children question their parents love for one another, they often begin to question God’s love for them. Children come to know the love of God through the love their parents have not only for them, but for each other. If you want your children to experience God’s love, then be willing to do what it takes to fully and selflessly love your spouse.” - a random article on the internet. But loved that blurb!!
May is Better Speech & Hearing month, and to celeb May is Better Speech & Hearing month, and to celebrate, two of my favorites (@campbellsbakeries and @magnoliaspeechschool) are teaming up THIS WEEK ONLY for a SWEET fundraiser for Magnolia!! Details for how to order are at the bottom of this caption 🤩 As some of you may know, our youngest, Dempsey, was born completely deaf. He got his cochlear implants when he was 10 months old, and started at Magnolia Speech School when he was just over a year old. His hearing age is 10 months behind his hearing peers because he had no access to spoken language until his cochlear implants were turned on, but because of the wonderful staff and method at Magnolia Speech School, Dempsey has almost completely caught up to his hearing peers, leaving that 10 month delay in the dust! 💨 His teachers, therapists, and audiologist have worked so hard with him to get him where he is today. We cannot be more grateful for Magnolia Speech School! Although students at Magnolia do pay tuition, they also rely heavily on donations from the community. When you buy these Campbell’s cookies this week, 15% of the sales will go straight back to Magnolia so they can continue helping kids like Dempsey! To get your hands on these DELICIOUS cookies while helping language and hearing impaired kiddos, you can… (1) Walk into Campbell’s in Fondren any time this week and buy some out of the case OR (2) Order online via the link in my bio any time this week! You can choose to have them shipped to you (shipments will go out 5/30) OR if you order by end of the day on 5/23, you can pick them up at Magnolia in Madison on 5/25 or 5/26. If you order after 5/22, you can pick up your order at Campbell’s! Thank you again for your support! I hope you enjoy these cookies and knowing that you’re helping make magic in the lives of a great group of children! 💛 And thank you to @campbellsbakeries for doing this!!! Y’all are literally the sweetest!

Hugging my people extra extra extra tight tonight! Hugging my people extra extra extra tight tonight! Today we celebrated the life of my precious cousin John Robert Kimbrough who unexpectedly went to be with Jesus on Tuesday. John Robert was joyful, filled with pure LOVE, was the hardest worker, the best hugger, and the kindest soul. He went home at the young age of 38. You truly never know when your time will come, but what profound PEACE we have knowing John Robert is in heaven and that we will see him again!! I left time with family today inspired to live life on purpose, love well, and share more Jesus!! “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men” ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3‬:‭23‬
Last week while I was shopping at @cornermarketms, Last week while I was shopping at @cornermarketms, I realized it had been a while since I took advantage of their create-your-own-six-pack option! I grabbed six good summery sounding beers (plus a canned cocktail) to take home for Price and me to try via a little tasting! I poured up some sample cups (and “labeled” them with different color straws so we could keep the tasting somewhat anonymous) and we discovered several new beverages to add into the summer rotation from this fun little activity! 🤩 I think my favorite was the Modelo salt & lime beer and Price especially enjoyed the Little Miss Sour. But truly, they were ALL good!! I highly recommend doing a tasting like this— it was FUN! And Corner Market has the best selection!! Have you ever done a tasting like this? CHEERS to summer!
Flashback to this time last month with besties at Flashback to this time last month with besties at the beach! Is #flashbackfriday still a thing? 🤔 #FBF
This was right after I had to take some donut hole This was right after I had to take some donut holes away from him because I found out they had coffee liqueur in them. (Double whammy! 😂) No worries, though! He got some “clean” donut holes shortly thereafter thanks to a very sweet and observant caterer and all was right in the world again! 🥰
