As we get older, it becomes harder for us to spend time with our friends and family. As we get older, it becomes more important for us to make time for our family. My mom happens to be the person I spend the most amount of time with, so here are 20 things that I suggest you do with your mom before you turn 20.
1. Manicures
This is something that my mom and I have only done a few times, but it gave us time to sit and talk about things that have happened in our lives.
2. Pedicures
This is something that I have only done with my mom once, but it was so nice to have my first professional pedicure and have had it done with my mom by my side.
3. Facials
If you have never had a facial, I suggest that you get one!
4. Prom Dress Shopping
For most people, this only happens once or twice in your life. I suggest that you let your mom go and be a part of that experience.
5. Shopping
This could be grocery shopping or clothes shopping. My favorite is when my mom pays when we go shopping.
6. Camping
This was big for my family, so it was rare that it was just my mom and I, but when it was, it was great.
7. College Visits
You are probably going to spend the next four or five years of your life on a college campus. Let your mom go with you to see the colleges that you are considering.
8. Movie Dates
This could be going out to the movie theater or staying home and watching a movie, but watch a movie that you both want to see together.
9. Gossiping
We liked to talk about things that happened in our lives. I used to tell her what was going on in school and the things that I heard in the halls.
10. Boy Talks
Okay so ours are probably different than what you think they are. We talked about my brother and my dad and that is what was considered a boy talk.
11. Walks
We used to love going on walks together, because it gave us a chance to talk about things without my brother or dad around.
12. Bonfires
Nothing is better in the summer than a night by the fire.
13. Going to the beach
So, most people I know did this with their friends. I did this with my mom and she would point out guys she thought were cute.
14. Road Trips
Go somewhere that you and your mom both want to go and spend the day in that place with her.
15. Managing Money
Have your mom take you to open a savings and checking account and have her teach you how to balance a checkbook.
16. Kitchen Experiments
Try a new recipe with your mom and help her cook or bake it.
17. Board Games
Find your favorite game and play it again with your mom. Ours is dominos.
18. Dinners
When you do see your mom, make time to either go out to dinner or have dinner at home with her.
19. Take Lots Of Pictures
A picture is worth a thousand words and they can spark memories. Take lots and lots of pictures with her; they will be priceless at some point in the future.
20. Talk About The Future
Let her know what your plans for the future are and how you want to achieve those goals. Maybe she can help.
