10 Activities for Mother-Daughter Bonding Time

Amidst our array of responsibilities, it can sometimes be tough for mother-daughter bonding to come front and centre. Regardless how your relationship is with one another, it’s always a good thing to constantly find ways to keep the bond going. Here’s a list of 10 of the best activities for the perfect mother-daughter bonding time!

PS: If you can’t do some of these activities right now, make a bucket list for when it’s okay to do so.



1. Spa day
A spa day has got to be at the top of our list. It’s relaxing, fun and just the perfect ambience for personal talks. You can either try out the adorable fish pedicure or even a tempting mud bath to get you both rejuvenated.

2. Roadtrip
Call in sick to both work and school and just head somewhere on a roadtrip together. You don’t need to have elaborate itineraries planned nor do you need to have this trip planned at all. Simply go wherever you both want to go and hang out together.

3. Game night
Friendly competitions with one another are always a fun time. Have a Scrabble marathon, test your skills at pictionary or charades or even have a quick game of ‘Never Have I Ever’ to add that extra bit of spice to the night.

4. Movie night
Here’s another idea for when you’re stuck at home for whatever reason. Call it a movie marathon day (or night) and just lounge around watching both of your favourite movies, no matter the genre.

5. Cooking
There’s just nothing quite like learning how to make a beloved recipe that has been with the family for years. Not only does it give you both time to reminisce on the good ol’ times, you can pass down the tradition to your kids one day too.

6. Brunch date
It’s always nice to dress up every once in a while and have a fancy brunch date together. Sip on a nice cup of tea with your pinkies up and elegantly devour (or not, we don’t judge) your favourite pastries and cocktail food.

7. Nature getaway
Even if you’re not a nature enthusiast, you can deny the beauty and serenity it holds. Find a trail to explore and hike, stroll along the beach or you can just wander around your local park. Enjoy and appreciate nature together and it may even open your eyes to new things along the way.

8. Shopping spree
Behold the simple pleasure of every woman’s life. While it’s definitely a good idea to save up some money for this indulging day out, a shopping spree is yet another fun activity to do together. Share your likes and dislikes with one another and just have a great time together.

9. Look through childhood photos
A picture holds a thousand words, especially back in the day before Facebook and Instagram ever existed. Spend an afternoon browsing through old photos and scrapbooks. You’ll laugh and probably even shed a tear at how fast the time has passed.

10. Yoga retreat
Let’s face it. The gym seems taunting. A yoga retreat however, may just be the getaway for you. Instead of spending yet another weekend venting about work and school, get into your Zen mode by meditating. You’ll definitely feel more refreshed and centred.
