Fun things to do with mom not just on Mother’s Day
Growing up in a single-parent family, I am always close with my mother. But just like any other relationships, we have our ups and downs.
We both have a very tight daily schedule. We are constantly on something. And neither of us is a fan of sitting down and sharing our days.
Despite the unbreakable biological bond, inefficient communication can crack the mother-daughter relationship without us noticing.
That’s why I am always looking for fun mother-daughter date ideas to stay connected with the woman I love the most.
Just like we don’t date our Significant Other solely on Valentine’s day, these fun activities should be a family regular.
The best part? The best mother-daughter date ideas don’t always have to cost anything.
Instead, they can be free activities that create a circumstance for you to talk, to laugh and to enjoy each other’s company. Ready for it?
21 Sweet Mother-daughter date ideas that will make dad jealous
Explore a botanical garden
I find mother nature being the best place to let our guards down and to relax.
The breeze, sweet smell of roses and the warm sunlight, wandering around in a botanical garden is mind-purifying.
To make it even more fun, challenge each other to name as many plants as possible.
If you are not a botanist, try to take really posey pictures of each other. So at the end of the day, you’ll have loads of incredible memories together and fun pics to look back at.
