F is for Fun & Fabulous Mother Daughter Date Ideas

Photo: Stacey Milich Photography
Miss B and I had a Mother & Daughter Date today (Master M was in childcare). First we watched 'Cinderella' at the movies, and then went to the nail salon to get a manicure. It was such a beautiful day - I love spending one-to-one time with my daughter and our dates are something I truly treasure, so I wanted to share some Fun & Fabulous Mother Daughter Date Ideas with other mums too.
(please note: some of these ideas can be used with boys too)


1. Manicure & Pedicure 
Go to a nail salon or set up a salon at home and get your nails done!

2. Mini Makeover 
Give your daughter a makeover and then let her give you one (be brave)

3. Go to the Movies 
Choose a movie that you will both enjoy or grab some DVDs and have your own movie day at home with home-made popcorn.

4. Baking 

5. Girls Night Out 
Get dressed up and go to a restaurant for a fancy dinner with your girl

6. Coffee Date
Head to a cafe and have a coffee/hot chocolate or fluffy & have a girly gossip session

7. Craft Day 
Make something for each other or make it together (Pinterest is your best friend)
8. Park Play Date 
Go to your local park and play with your daughter - swing with her, go down the slide - have fun!

9. Nature walk 
Grab your walking shoes and go for a nature walk - make a Nature Scavenger Hunt to make it a bit of fun (and educational)

10. Go to the Library 
Read a book or two together and choose some books to take home (on loan)

11. Op-shop Till You Drop 
Find a bargain or two at your local op-shop, or maybe a new outfit . When you have finished, refer #6. 

12. Have a picnic 
Pack a lunch and a blanket & go to a nice park for a picnic. After lunch, lie down and watch the clouds - what shapes can you see? 


REMEMBER:
Take photos and don't forget to be #inthepicture - treasure these moments with your daughter (or son). 


If you have any Mother & Daughter Date ideas or Mother & Son ideas - I'd love to hear/read them!

  1. Wonderful post! My daughter is 14 and now that she's older, she more interested in spending time with her friends (understandable). But we do sit down together at night sometimes and watch a tv show together, or the occasional movie. I'm treasuring these times because I know she'll be off for college in just a few short years! Visiting from A to Z....

  7. I have three daughters and we use to have dates too. One-on-one, my favorite ones, especially because they all had different interests. They are grown now and I still like to do this. One of our favorites, which we did once a year, is they would get to stay out of school (skip day), usually at the end of the year where things were often in review or nothing going on. We would take the whole day to shop, have lunch, do whatever they wanted for their "day with mom." The biggest part for them, was the no school day. Again, we only did it once a year and it didn't start until middle school. They remember those times even now. Great list!
