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!

Dempsey’s newest room accessory: a mesh crib cag Dempsey’s newest room accessory: a mesh crib cage! Our little escape artist started crawling out of his crib around thanksgiving, and did it a few times, then I guess forgot that he had the skill because he didn’t do it again until we were at Disney last week! He rediscovered his love for crib climbing and took joy in waking us up early every morning of vacation 😂 

Now that we are home, he’s been immediately crawling out every time he’s put in. The pajamas with the feet connected didn’t work on him (yet we can’t figure out how, because he only climbed out while wearing those when we weren’t looking! Sneaky bean 🤨)

This crib cage arrived yesterday and he did GREAT zipped up in it last night! It may not look very designer 😂 but it’s worth it for some good solid sleep! And if you saw my stories last night, our initial installation of it was NOT correct! Hah! 

I linked it on LTK so you can shop via screen shot if you have the app, or you can go to thehiveblog.com and click on ‘shop my style!’

International Cochlear Implant Day is February 25t International Cochlear Implant Day is February 25th! Since Dempsey has CIs, I thought I’d do my part to bring a little awareness to this day and to cochlear implants! 👂🏻

Here are a few fun CI facts because #themoreyouknow, right?!

⭐️ Cochlear implants are electronic medical devices that restore the ability to perceive sound and understand speech and are intended for people with moderate to profound hearing loss. Dempsey’s level of hearing loss is profound!

⭐️ Unlike hearing aids, which amplify sound, CIs bypass damaged hairlike cells in the cochlea and stimulate nerve fibers through the application of an electrical current! CIs are for those who were not helped by traditional hearing aids, like Demps!

⭐️ Roughly 220,000 people in the USA have cochlear implants!

⭐️ CIs have surgically implanted internal devices that connect with the external devices via magnet!

⭐️ Dempsey, and other CI wearers, will always need their devices to hear!

⭐️ There are three cochlear implant companies out there: Cochlear Americas, Advanced Bionics, and MED-EL. Dempsey’s are MED-EL!

⭐️ Sound is a GIFT that we have always taken for granted. We are so thankful that our deaf baby boy gets the chance to experience sound because of his CIs!

⭐️ I have several IGTV videos giving more info on Dempsey’s activation (the first time he heard!), how to put his processors together and how they work, how his language has progressed, and more! Feel free to browse!

⭐️ If you have any questions about CIs, please feel free to ask! 🤩

A date night escape to @colonybistro is the best e A date night escape to @colonybistro is the best escape! Price and I had THE MOST FUN the other night tasting a few tapas and cocktails we had never tried before (I think the rustic meatballs and the apple bourbon cocktail were my fave) and we ended the fun with the most incredible ice cream sandwich ever!! It. Was. Life-changing!!

Also, in case you missed it on my stories, I’ve included what might be the most popular story ever to hit my account: @pricedonahoo making fun of me taking food pics at meals 😂😆 He is only *slightly* accurate 🤪

@colonybistro is open for supper Monday thru Saturday, and also does brunch on Saturday and Sunday! We love this joint and know you will too! 🤩 #eatlocal #drinklocal #locallove

I posted a little bar refresh on my stories over t I posted a little bar refresh on my stories over the weekend and a bunch of y’all asked about our neon sign! This sign is one of my absolute favorite things in the house! “These are the good old days” 🥰🥰🥰 Right?!?! These are seriously the days our family will always look back on with warmth in our hearts 💛 It’s been a weird, weird year. But such a good year filled with crazy, good days! 

My sign is from an Amazon retailer who I’ve linked to on @liketoknow.it along with some of the other fun things in our little bar here! And if you don’t have the LTK app, you can always go to the ‘shop my style’ tab on thehiveblog.com! 

Cheers to a week full of ‘good old days!’ http://liketk.it/38WfX #liketkit @liketoknow.it
