Virtual Mother-Daughter Vision Board Workshop

A couple of years ago, I woke up and my baby girl wasn't so little anymore.

I had no idea where the time went and I don't know how she went from loving everything I say and do to talking back so fiercely.

It's easy to get sucked into the daily grind of packing lunches, homework, bath time, laundry, dishes, and the list goes on.

Time can easily slip by when we're not intentional. Relationship-building takes time and effort, even if we gave birth to the one involved.

I had to do something different so I created a vision board for the following year which included a goal of having regular Mommy-Daughter Dates.

At the end of that year, we went on at least one date per month and felt closer than ever. It's not that we didn't have anymore issues or the back-talking stopped completely (if only!). I just felt that our foundation was so much stronger to withstand these little and big storms that may come our way.

It was so successful that I decided my daughter needed one too.

So we got together and made a fun activity out of it. It was one of the most amazing bonding experience we've ever had.

As she is getting older with more of her own friends (and friendship troubles) and activities, it's getting harder and harder to find things to do together.

I'm really grateful that we still have this annual tradition for just the two of us.

Here's our Mommy-Daughter Vision Boards for 2023 with "Playful" as our word-of-the-year:

FAQs

1. What ages is this activity appropriate for?

A: Children of all ages could attend. However, girls 6+ would get the most out of the conversations and activities.

2. What materials do I need to prepare?

A: Please download PicCollage/Canva ahead of time (it's a free app). It would be ideal if your photos could be easily found on a device that you could bring for you and your daughter to work together on such as a tablet, a laptop, or a cell phone.
