Mommy Daughter Dates

So, I have been reading a lot about Moms going out with their daughters and it has inspired me to right my top 5 "Date Days/Nights" for moms and daughters to share together :). 

Whether your daughter is 2 or 22, these basic memories never get old (or are too soon to start sharing). 

I am not a parent expert, by NO means, but coming across so many mommy daughter blogs and SAHM lately, I felt this was a good time to post My thoughts on the matter.

 1. Play Day at the Park & Photo shoot! - Nothing like some quality time with mommy just enjoying the simple things...and make it fun! Feed the ducks, take a walk too, and take lots of pictures! These small simple moments go by so fast.

2. Shopping Spree & Lunch! Spend the day shopping, and even if you don't buy anything you can try on some shoes and window browse. Skyler may only be 2 but she loves sitting in her carriage and just looking at all the "girly stuff". Then go sit down for a nice lunch, just you and your girls.

3. Date Night! Some of my family think I am crazy about wanting to take my 2 year old to a movie in the theater, but I am just about ready to attempt it. Even if you don't make it through the whole movie with your younger ones, just the idea of going to the big screen, eating popcorn and chocolate and spending it just with mom will get her excited. And don't forget dinner before hand. Get dolled up together and head out to a nicer meal...keeping in mind it is still somewhat kid friendly for the little ones :).

4. Spa Spotlight! Mani and Pedi's have always been a favorite of mine, and doing it together with my mom and sister, and I cannot wait to share this with my daughter as well. Though my daughter is still a year away from joining me at the nail salon, she loves to sit with me at home and paint her nails, so adorable! Just getting time to relax, and talk and laugh with my mom is a joyful and blessed reminder.

5. Day Trip! Yes this could turn into an expensive one, but sometimes its nice to "get away and splurge" so to speak. And making it into a memorable mommy daughter time is even nicer :). Head to the southwick's zoo, or go into NYC for the day...you could even take a bus...and see a show and have lunch, or go to central park or visit The American Girl Store if you have a little one...itll be the coolest place to her, for sure! Or if your feeling adventurous and have a little more to splurge, take a weekend getaway. Use your imagination.

So that's it. My take on the Top 5 Mommy Daughter Activities...some I have yet to do with Skyler but she is still young. But I plan to make the most of her growing up and do these activities as much as possible! I am so lucky and blessed to have such a charming and sweet daughter, and I don't want to ever miss out on showing her she has a charming and sweet mother who thinks the world of her and loves her very much!
