βAs soon as I walked in, I felt really special.β π₯Ήπ€
Thatβs what my daughter told me at our last stop on our mommy-daughter fall break dayβand it absolutely melted my heart.
I couldnβt take all of fall break off this year financially, but I made room for one day away from clients to spend some much-needed one-on-one time with my big girl. Now that sheβs in school, these days together feel extra precious.
We started with Friendship Forest! π³π» Sheβs been waiting to meet the characters and enjoy the puppet stories herself after hearing about all the fun her little sister gets to have. Finally getting to join us was such a sweet start to our day.
Then we headed out for a few things we both love:
π² A hot pot buffet, where my little seafood-loving sidekick and I were in seafood heaven!
π―οΈ Candle-making at Candle Chemistry | DIY Candle Bar Experience in Phoenix in Park Westβperfect for a girl who loves all things that smell good.
π¨ Pottery painting at Burst Of Butterflies Art Studio - Peoria AZ , which ended up being her absolute favorite.
We also popped into Hype It Up Toys at Park West! It didnβt make it into the reel, but if your kiddo loves squishies and slime, itβs a fun stop to check out. β¨
Between the hand-holding, cuddles, and her telling me over and over how special she felt, my mommy heart was so full. This girl works hard at school, has a heart of gold, and brings so much kindness into our home. I loved getting to celebrate her and follow her interests for a day. π€
A special outing can be one little adventure, a favorite lunch, or simply time together with your phone tucked away. I hope our day gives you a little inspiration to make room for some one-on-one magic with your little one. π
