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!

In honor of the birthday boy… my favorite video In honor of the birthday boy… my favorite video of him EVER! 🤣🥳 This was a little Central Park ice skating in 2020 with Wilson and Lily Ry and… it didn’t go very well 😆

Wishing that guy with those mega strong ankles and arms the best day and year yet! We love you so much @pricedonahoo!! Thanks for being the most fun husband and daddy ever in the world! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! 🎉
2/25 is International Cochlear Implant Day! We a 2/25 is International Cochlear Implant Day! 

We are so thankful for these little devices that give the gift of sound to our deaf kiddo! Dempsey and his implants live a full, joyous, sound-filled life and we couldn’t be more grateful! ✨💛🫶

On this day, we celebrate this unique, unexpected path and all of the incredible people and experiences we’ve enjoyed along the way! There are certainly hard days mixed in here and there, but when we have the right perspective, those are what make the good days that much better! 🥰

2 Corinthians 2:19 says, “But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”

God, thank you!! 🙏 We love our boy and his sweet little ears SO MUCH! Happy CI day!!
Happy spring baseball / bestie season! 😆 Sure, Happy spring baseball / bestie season! 😆

Sure, we are glad that games are back in full swing, but we are REAL excited about all the visiting time our boys’ schedule has built in for us! 🤣 

Blessed to get to spend so much time with so many precious families through @ms_yankees baseball! 🥰 Cheers to lots of game weekends and catching up with these besties! 👯‍♀️
Are you ever at home goods or in the sale section Are you ever at home goods or in the sale section of anthro and you see one or two super cute salad plates and you think, “I love it but what am I gonna do with just one or two?” 

Well, I have the answer for you! YOU BUY THE PLATE and you keep it in a pretty little collected stack. Then next time you host, you pull the stack out and you and your friends enjoy! 

I love that everyone has a different plate (so no, “wait is this my plate or was it yours?”) and it’s an easy way to add color and personality to the party! 🥳 

Have fun buying the plate! 😘
Little peeks of spring🌷🌼💚 (for now anyway Little peeks of spring🌷🌼💚 (for now anyway 😆) are making this warm weather loving girl smile! 🥰

Loving this fun dress from @madison.marketplace!
The newly opened Just Vanilla Coffee Bar (sister b The newly opened Just Vanilla Coffee Bar (sister business to Fondren’s @just.vanilla.bakes) in the Regions building in downtown Jackson is absolutely delightful! We can both confidently recommend the lattes and the croissants! 🥐☕️🤤 

Grab a friend and go check this pretty place out! 🫶 @justvanillacoffeebar, we will be back soon!!
Mahjong with the girls and @eataplos catering go t Mahjong with the girls and @eataplos catering go together like… well… aplos and mahj! 🩷🤩💛

Our mahj night this past week got a major upgrade with the help of Aplos’s fabulous dip trio + their iconic chips, a “build-your-own” spread (where you could make a salad, a pita wrap, or a rice bowl), a jug of their Porch Swing frozen cocktail, and their new little donuts with honey and pistachios as dessert! 🤤 And all without me having to leave my house! 

Things I was super impressed with: 
• it was delivered to my door
• everything was so nearly labeled 
• the presentation was extra nice
• the serving utensils they sent are *totally* use-again-able
• it was plenty of food! It fed my mahj girls plus my husband and kids!

If you’re interested in getting a quote from Aplos for catering your own event, send them a DM or hop on their website (linked in their bio) to find out more! We were very impressed (and very full) and CANNOT WAIT to do an Aplos + mahj repeat very very soon! 🥳✨

I got the joy of attending the most fun little Gal I got the joy of attending the most fun little Galentine event last night with some of the besties! It was hosted by two of my absolute fave local brands, @bloomwaterbath & @bellini.blooms, and we got to learn all about making bath bombs and beautiful floral arrangements! I’m so proud of my friends at these two Bloom related companies 🌸 for doing great things by bringing smiles to others through their gifts, and I feel so blessed that I was a recipient of their talents through this lovely event! 

So glad to have some fresh flowers to brighten my home and cute little bath bombs to add some extra fun to our next few baths! (Let’s be honest- the kids will probably use all these before I get a chance to 😆)

Happy Valentines & Galentines week to all, and thanks again @bloomwaterbath and @bellini.blooms for the FUN NIGHT! 🩷😘❤️
