Get Pampered Together

Girls of all ages enjoy and deserve to be pampered. So why not get pampered together? Go by your favorite nail salon or spa for a day or primping and girl time. Enjoy some girl talk while you have your nails done. Maybe even go a little bit extra and add a few more services to your tab like a haircut or makeup. Getting all cutesy together is so much fun! The younger ones will feel extra special to get some beautifying just like Mommy does. As a cosmetologist this has to be my favorite mother and daughter date ideas.

Have a Tea Party

Here’s the chance to finally use that fine china that was gifted to you at your wedding. I know I’m not the only one that doesn’t use that stuff every day. Well dust off the tea cups and saucers for some good old fashioned tea and fancy finger foods. This date idea is probably best for the younger ones. So have your little miss put on her prettiest, most «favoritest» dress and invite her best stuffed animal friends for a bona fide tea party. Would you like one lump of sugar or two Madame?

Movie’s at Home

For a free and easy date idea just hop into your most comfy pair of pajamas, pop some buttery popcorn and enjoy some of your favorite chick flicks together.

This is next item on the date list for me and my little one. I honestly think I’m more excited about it than she is. Build a bear together and take it home as a souvenir to remind you of how much fun the two of you had on your date. The American Girl Doll store is also a good date idea.

Bake Together

Spending time together in the kitchen is great for bonding as well as teaching. If your daughter is younger, then sticking to a simple recipe may be best; like cookies or cupcakes. For the more experienced, maybe try a more intricate recipe like cheesecake brownies, or a tiered cake. Being in the kitchen with you is the best way to teach her the basics of cooking and the reward is a yummy treat!

Fancy Dinner

Make reservations at a fancy restaurant for the two of you, and get all snazzy in your best dresses for some sophisticated dining. As a southern belle myself, I learned the importance of proper dining etiquette through debutante balls. Introduce your young lady to table manners and dinner etiquette while you dine. These are lessons she’ll pass on to her daughter one day.

Make Crafts

Check for workshops at your local craft store for some creative, crafting fun. Or pick up some interesting things to make your own crafts at home. The possibilities are endless, candles, ornaments, a wreath, jewelry, greeting cards, or friendship bracelets. Have fun making something special for each other.

Park Lunch

Pack your picnic basket with some lunch, grab a blanket and cop a squat in the park. If your daughter is younger a visit to the playground is a definite. Don’t be afraid to join her on the monkey bars and swings, show her the kid in you.

16

Slumber Party

A good ole slumber party with the works is a great last minute date night for mothers and daughters. Put on your matching pajamas, watch some classic chick flicks with popcorn and ice cream, polish each other’s nails, play board games and stay up late. Even sleep in her room to make it an official slumber party.

17

Be Artistic

Take an oil painting class or a pottery class. If you’re not into that then maybe a dance class is more your speed. Or maybe a session at a local recording studio is more suitable. Being artsy and expressive together brings you together and it’s just plain FUN!

18

Bookstore

Peruse the aisles for some new reads. Take moment to read a few of the finds to your little one, even buy a couple to take home with you. With the older ones, talking over a small snack and catching up on celebrity gossip in the magazines is fun too.

Model a healthy lifestyle and make a date to go for a hike. Sign up to do a run together, you might even find a run that is suitable for younger ones also.
