“For my daughter: In my eyes, there is no one that can equal your beauty, no word that can describe how much you mean to me, nothing that could lessen my love for you as you have it now and for all eternity. No matter how old you might be, you will always be my little girl to me.”
22 Things Every Mother And Daughter Should Do Together At Least Once
Every mother-daughter relationship is different.
You may have survived the rollercoaster teenage years to realize you’ve come out of it closer than ever. She is literally your favorite person to spend time with and knows you better than anyone.
Or maybe you’re looking for a chance to reconnect – or maybe you’re just a new mom with a bored toddler on her hands.
No matter the status of your relationship, we have a bucket list of memory-making adventures for all of Y’all!
As Susan Merrill, mother, and founder of Family First’s motherhood program iMOM, put it:
“Time is a vapor, it just floats away from us. I need to make moments happen with my girls, but it takes really careful planning because they are busy and living in different cities. I realized that I needed a bucket list to make sure I captured some moments with my kids.
It’s a list with no age limit and no deadline. Personalize it to fit your own interests and your girls’ ages. Just remember: It’s not about how many items you cross off, but rather that you complete them together.”
