Having a daughter means we get the chance to do special "girly" things with her (though I certainly know that not all girls embrace their super-feminine side!)
Having a spa time with your daughter can be a great way to spend time together. We did this one night awhile ago when my husband was out-of-town. My daughters and I gave ourselves manicures and pedicures, then I helped them try out some new hairstyles. We experimented with curls and updo's. You could also give yourselves facials or let your daughter play with a little makeup.
If your daughter is younger, you could do simple tasks like rubbing on some sweet smelling lotion or just playing dress up. Maybe you have special occasion clothes in your closet that she could try on. And she might have even more fun if you let her do your hair!
This activity doesn't have to be a "day" - it could just be a half hour, or done in short spurts over several days. Either way, be sure to take pictures to document the memories!
If you've missed earlier posts in this series, you can go to my 31 Days host page and catch up on all the ways we're showing love to our daughters in October!
We had company come into town on Thursday, and I've been busy getting ready and then entertaining. :)
ReplyDeleteMy two younger girls love to play with my hair, and I usually let them when we're at home. But I have to admit that I don't much care for playing with theirs (and they don't either because of the tangles.) They do enjoy having their nails painted, so I could do that.
We do nails together every few weeks. :-) The thing I really love, though, is playing with each other's hair! She even calls it "yoga hair" b/c it's so relaxing! :-D
