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!

How absolutely PRECIOUS is this treehouse/ art hou How absolutely PRECIOUS is this treehouse/ art house in my friend’s backyard? 🥰 She turned it into the bar for a bridal shower and it was so perfectly whimsical! ✨ (This was from October, but I realize I never shared. It’s too good not to!) 

Don’t think I haven’t been thinking about how/where I can add stairs to our tree house to create a similar vibe! 😆

Not only do I love the look and feel of this thing, but daisies always remind me of my college/early post grad alter ego, Daisy Buchanan. 🤣 Sometimes I’d go with Penny Lane, then *other* times I’d swap it up with Penny Buchanan or Daisy Lane, just for fun! Did anyone else use an inaccurate name back in the day? There were just sometimes when I really didn’t want that weirdo at Club Fire to know who I actually was, ya know? 🔥😂

I hope you’re having a WONDERFUL week!! Xo!

So thankful for a few days away with some pretty awesome company, lots of games, plenty of food, and so many laughs! 

To quote @pricedonahoo’s grandfather, “we are better than we deserve!” 

And to quote another great, CS Lewis says, “There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind," 💛✨

Ever since I was introduced to the new @nutpods To Ever since I was introduced to the new @nutpods Toffee Nut creamer, I’ve been making this banoffee protein smoothie almost DAILY!

Banoffee is a mix of flavors I fell in love with when I lived in England - toffee, banana, coffee - and this smoothie brings them together in one place in a healthy way! (Banoffee pie is the only other way I’ve had these flavors and it’s, um, NOT healthy 😆) 

All you need to do is eyeball these ingredients:
- iced coffee 
- @nutpods toffee nut creamer
- frozen banana slices 
- local honey of your choice of sweetener 
- unflavored protein powder
- sometimes I add ice but not always!

Hop on over to the link in @nutpods bio OR search for Toffee Nut Nutpods Creamer on Amazon to order! 

Have the best day! 🍌

🇮🇹 Tour de Italian Restaurants 2025 🇮🇹 🇮🇹 Tour de Italian Restaurants 2025 🇮🇹 is in the books! For some reason, a couple of years ago, we started this thing where we hit up as many local Italian restaurants as we can during the holiday season! This year we ate four fabulous meals at four of our favorites: @amerigo_restaurant, @fratesis_italian, @eatatceramis, and @tasteitaliankitchen! 

Not exactly sure where this tradition was born, but I think pairing red, white, and green Italian vibes with the Christmas season is a no brainer as a duo! 🤣

There are some local Italian greats we couldn’t make it to this year, but… there’s always restaurant tour 2026!🎄🥰💚🤍❤️
Lily Ryan has been asking for a bed canopy for mon Lily Ryan has been asking for a bed canopy for months and she got one for Christmas and OH MY GOODNESS it’s just the dreamiest thing! 🥰✨ She and I are both obsessed with it!! 

This one was very affordable and it’s just absolutely the sweetest with the different fabrics and the cutout stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
