Remembering my mom today as mothers all across the globe are celebrated. She passed away when I was 14, but not a day goes by that I don’t think about her and miss her with my whole heart. My mom taught me to love unconditionally, to work hard for the things that matter, to enjoy dressing up and being a lady, to appreciate the little things and not grow up too quickly, and to pursue the One who created me. She also made me want to be a mom, and I still can’t wait for those days to come!
Today’s photo is of my mom, sister and me at a picnic in the early ’90s.
Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms and moms-to-be! Your love and care mean the world to us, and nothing you do ever goes unnoticed.

Today I am heading to Houston for the annual Ladies Night Out event benefiting Montgomery County Youth Services, an organization which provides shelter and counseling services for at-risk youth and their families. I have worked with the committee for this event since 2009, and it has been one of my favorite things to take part in. A great time for a great cause – one of the best things ever. This year’s theme is ‘Out of This World’, so I’m sure there will be some stellar costumes. Beyond that, I’m excited to meet one of my best friend’s baby boy (he is so precious), enjoy some good ol’ Texas BBQ, and just have fun with family and good friends. You can follow my travels via instagram @lizparkerla. Without further ado, here is this week’s simple goodness!
1. Freshly manicured nails.
2. The simple joy of bringing my gingham clutch (designed by Oatmeal Lace Design for Emily Ley) with me to Texas. I actually get a little giddy every time I use it.
3. A Cinco de Mayo celebration at The Velvet Cactus.
4. Sweet meetings at Sucré.
5. This little number.
Happy weekend, and I’ll catch you guys back here next week!
