Mothers and daughters share a special bond together. Spend some time together and make it memorable. Take your daughter out on a Mommy Daughter date! Here are some ideas that you and your daughter can do together. Start making it a tradition every month to spend time with just the two of you.

1. Go to a Movie

This is a simple idea that often gets overlooked. You can start going to the movies even when your daughter is young. Just ask them what movie they would like to see and go for it! Make sure the movie is age appropriate. Movies are a great way to share an experience. I watched one of my all time favorites movies in the theater with mom and I will never forget it! Follow up a movie with idea number 2.

2. Dinner

Going out to dinner can consist of more than just going to eat. Spend time together getting dressed up. Splurge a little and go to a nice restaurant as a treat with your daughter. This is a good time to find something new. Find a restaurant you both love and make it ‘yours’. Once you establish a restaurant as a place where you two go together, your daughter will hold many great memories every time she thinks of it.

3. Bake Together

All of my favorite memories with my mother are when we bake together. My mother had so much knowledge on baking and was amazing at decorating cakes. Every year we make gingerbread cookies together for the holidays and decorate them for the family. It is a fun tradition that I look forward to every year. Start a baking tradition with your daughter. She will be glad that you passed down your baking knowledge to her and that you made baking something you can do together.

4. Manicures and Pedicures

It may seem like a cliché thing to do, but it can be a lot of fun. Go out and get a mani pedi with your daughter. It is fun to pick and choose what colors and designs you want on your nails together. It also gives you something to talk about. Spoil yourself and your daughter every once in a while and get pampered!

5. Crafts

Stay in and do crafts together. There are a lot of easy crafts that a mother and daughter can do together. Scrapbooking is a great way to share memories and bond, no matter what the age of your daughter. You can do sewing, knitting, and painting. Change it up and make it interesting. There are so many options, you just have to go do it!
