For a lot of us, life hasn’t been normal for around a year now, so the idea of planning things for the future when places reopen is really exciting. As we are slowly getting towards the warmer months, lockdown is easing more and more and we are being allowed more freedom to do what we like. Having mother-and-daughter time is really great for bonding and while we can currently go on walks or play a fun board game, it isn’t really the same as being able to go on a fun day out together. Here are a couple of ideas of things you could do once permitted, to give you something to look forward to.

Eat a Meal Out
Firstly, one of the most important things on pretty much everyone’s list is to go out for a great meal. While a lot of places are currently open for takeaway, this doesn’t beat the feeling of being able to go out to a restaurant and soak up the atmosphere as well as enjoying a delicious meal. This is a fun thing to do as a mother and daughter activity too – try and find somewhere which serves food that you both enjoy and you can make your meal a part of a wider day out. A lot of people will probably have this idea on their mind, so wherever you go, you ought to book well in advance to make sure you get a space.
Go to the Movie Theatre
Going to the movie theatre is great fun, but there are still certain things you will need to do to keep yourself and others around you protected from the possible spread of COVID, even after places reopen. Things such as having hand sanitizer to hand and having physical guards to separate you and other customers are examples of the new normal at theaters, which we all must adapt to. This way, you can still have an amazing mother-and-daughter day out without having the added stress of being affected by the virus directly.
Visit a Local Museum
Doing small things to help the local economy will be so beneficial and a fun, wholesome activity that you can do as a mother and daughter is visiting a local museum. These are the kinds of places that may have suffered disproportionately from the effects of the lockdown and would really benefit from a bit of support. If it is a museum you need to pay for, your money will go directly towards funding it, but if it is a free museum, why not consider giving them a small donation? Even a few dollars will go a long way and will mean they are more able to support themselves financially.
All of us will learn hugely from this pandemic and will make the most of all opportunities given to us as a result. Putting family time as a priority is something we’ve all learnt to do and hopefully this strange global situation has taught everyone the importance of doing so.
