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!

I posted these faux flowers, but in pink, back in I posted these faux flowers, but in pink, back in the spring, and it was one of my most popular posts ever!! It felt like fall to me this morning 🥰 so I felt like it was a good day to add some fall color to the house. I’ve had these babies for two years and I still love them! They’re great for people who have a brown thumb, or who just aren’t ready to put mums out yet! And they LAST! Comment LINK for the link to these to come straight to your DMs 🤩🧡🍁
I’m very VERY excited to get to partner with a b I’m very VERY excited to get to partner with a brand that our family has loved for years now- @owala!! We take our Owala water bottles everywhere with us… errands, school, sports, road trips, around the neighborhood… truly just about everywhere! These spill-proof, stainless steel, BEAUTIFUL water bottles keep us hydrated in style! 🥰 To shop using my unique link (full disclosure- I make commission!), comment OWALA and it’ll go to your DMs! Even if you aren’t looking to shop, but you love Owala already anyway, I’d love to hear about your love for this fabulous brand in the comments! 💛 I hope you’re having a GREAT week so far 🫶🫶🫶 I don’t say it enough, so I’ll say it now— thank you for being here! You are loved!!
I went to visit a dear friend in Birmingham a coup I went to visit a dear friend in Birmingham a couple of weeks ago, and she took me to the most precious store (and coffee shop!) in the most picturesque little town of Springville, just outside of B-Ham, called ShopWell! @wellhouse.shopwell is associated with @the.wellhouse, where my friend works, which helps provide tons of resources for women who have been rescued out of human trafficking. All items in ShopWell are made by these victims as they work toward restoration. I was super impressed by the beautiful, handmade inventory as well as the whole vibe of the coffee shop area. They even have a make-your-own-candle setup if you visit in person! If you *can’t* visit in person, however, you can still shop online! Comment SHOP and I’ll DM you a link to their web store. Next time you’re in the market for a gift, or some new jewelry, or are in need of something unique and handmade, please remember ShopWell! 🥰 https://www.shopwell-wellhouse.org
Gluckstadt has THE CUTEST new store called Eliza J Gluckstadt has THE CUTEST new store called Eliza James that I really hope you’ll stop into soon! 🤩 (#ad) @shopelizajames has really, really fun inventory, like precious women’s clothes and accessories for starters. But you’ll also find cute kids’ clothes, travel accessories, mahjong goodies, chic puppy goods, gift items for your girlfriends AND your pregnant friends, pajamas, candles, needlepoint pillows, jewelry, a few items for the men in your life, and so much more! I love the feeling I get when I walk into this happy shop, from the smell to the great tunes to the warm welcome from the sweetest staff. To top all that off, when I saw that sign in the fitting room (see last slide), I knew I’d found just a really special place to shop. 🥰 I hope you’ll make a point to stop in and see all of Eliza James’s goodness for yourself before too long! It’s definitely worth a visit. I’m confident you’ll love it as much as I do! 🤩
We’ve had some fun in Lily Ryan’s bathroom lat We’ve had some fun in Lily Ryan’s bathroom lately, and all our recent updates started with this fantastic little @straydogdesigns light! This beautiful Letty Wall Light adds the perfect bit of organic girly-ness to this space. 🌸 We chose the white option, but there are three other colors you could choose from as well, and my favorite part about all of the colors is that the inside of each flower/shade is the prettiest pink! Stray Dog Designs brought this little bathroom to life and I’m so grateful to get to partner with them again. Letty & Stray Dog Designs for the win! Comment LIGHT and I’ll DM you a link to Letty. You can also browse all of the other fun offerings from this lovely little brand! #brandpartner (Also, for those invested in the countertop situation- more coming soon!!)

Hey, I’m Laurel! I have a lot of new faces aroun Hey, I’m Laurel! I have a lot of new faces around here (thanks to Restaurant Week 🤩) which I’m so grateful for, so I thought it’d be a good time to introduce myself! A little about me & what you’ll find over here: • my faith in Jesus is the most important thing to me. He is my life source & joy source & I truly could not imagine walking through life without Him. • I’m married to my college sweetheart, Price (who is THE FUNNIEST MAN EVER. Laugh crying is a regular thing for me 🤣) & we have three tall blonde babies, Wilson, Lily, and Dempsey! • Those three kiddos love sports & games and being parts of teams so…. We are on many teams… 🤪🏀⚾️🏈⚽️🏐🥎 • my youngest is deaf and has cochlear implants, so I share a good bit about his hearing journey! • I love local businesses and SO ADMIRE the heart that goes into each and every one of them. Operating independently is expensive and risky, but all of our amazing local business owners put in the work to enrich the area around them. Let’s support local whenever we can to keep their doors open and keep our towns and cities a little quirky, shall we?! 🤩 • I’m into art, dinners with friends, traveling, having fun getting dressed, baking, coffee, eating dessert first, gardening, the color yellow, French pastries, and helping my kids notice little things while letting them help me notice them, too! Among other things 🤩 • if I’m not at home trying to keep this household semi flowing, you’ll find me eating out, working from a coffee shop, taking a Pilates class, sitting in a carpool line, or creating content at local businesses! • my bestie @elle.kay.photo took these photos for me and I really really love them! She’s incredibly talented! She’s based out of Pensacola so if you need pics next time you’re that way, hit her up! • my current favorite scripture is the last thing I’ll leave ya with: James 1:5 “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” 🥳🥳🥳 I hope you’ll stick around if this sounds like a place you’d enjoy being! If not, though, no hard feelings 🥰 I hope you have the best day and I hope to see you around! XOXO!
