I have a daughter.
It’s changed everything. My gorgeous, rough and tumble boys – I love them as hard as they love all things mud, dirt and mortal combat. But raising a girl – I ache to give her a head start in this Pinterest, photo shopped world.
I won’t get it perfect, but dang if I’m not going to give it a wild and wonderful go.
100 Things I Want to Teach My Daughter
- Beauty is a state of mind, not a state of body.
- The benefit of the doubt is sometimes the best gift we can give our friends.
- There will always be mean girls – that doesn’t mean we find a tower and Rapunzel ourselves away from the world.
- Your daddy has loved you better and longer than any boy ever will.
- Your brothers will teach you how boys should treat you.
- You’re always welcome in my wardrobe.
- The world needs your point of view.
- Food is a joy.
- Your body is strong and capable of more than you can imagine right now.
-
Ice cream is a love language.
- Cook, decorate, clean, organize because you love to, not because someone tells you you’re meant to.

Mr. Darcy and popcorn make for a perfect evening.

Lisa Jo – you’re simply amazing. I wanna be you when I grow up. lol Seriously, I love your heart!
Janelle
I love this Lisa Jo. Beautifully written, an anthem for all the girl mamas!
“But-i-ful” list, Lisa-Jo. Really, truly.
I’m on a slow learning curve
Aren’t we all? I’ve got a lot to learn from this lovely list. Love it & lots of love to you, too!
Just love this! I can already feel #79. What an appropriate way to say it.
Ugh, I KNOW! It’s like a never-ending sea of vulnerability – this motherhood thing, isn’t it? Missed seeing you guys this weekend. We’ve been hiding from the heat!
Us too. I couldn’t bring myself to be outside for too long! grateful that neither of us had any damage or lost power with that crazy storm!
you!…are my favorite mother.
and your daughter…blessed…beyond measure she is blessed.
oh, girl, this is beautiful.
Love it!
and i definitely wanta know more about #71.
please share?
Ha! I think you all call “crepes” what we call pancakes. And we eat ‘em sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and lemon juice – rolled up – they are basically the food of heaven. My oh-so-American husband is a convert and makes them for breakfast religiously every Saturday. Recipe here: http://www.greedygourmet.com/recipes-by-course/desserts/pancakes-with-cinnamon-sugar/
i heart you.
Saved!!
Oh, yes. JUST THAT – YES. Lovely, L-J. Perfection.
Lisa Jo – thank you for your encouraging thoughts. You are mentoring Jesus heart to us.
Thank you! That was lovely, lovely, lovely.
What a good mom you are!
Being a mother to two young girls… I can completely relate to most of these! This was wonderful glad I found it!!!!
That was perfect. I had a rough go with my own mom…trying to have a better life with my own daughter. Perfectly said!!
I just could not love this more.
you are an extraordinary mother!! i love this so much!!!
I’m weeping! I just married off my first daughter last weekend. What a beautiful gift for your daughter!
Lovely post, Lisa-Jo! I should teach my girl these things too. Thanks for the link to my pancakes. South African ones are the BEST!
Beautiful, beautiful list. One that I shall bookmark. I may not have a daughter- but most of these apply to any relationship I build with the girls around me. (especially the nieces who beg their mamas to come visit the farm!)
I’m not a mom, but hope to be some day. This list is very special, thank you for sharing it with us x
Very Touching!
I love this! Great list,Lisa Jo!
I want to invite you to link up over at my blog. I launched Mindful Mothering Mondays and would love to see you there! xox
Love number 40…and the one about Mr Darcy, for sure!
So much wit and wisdom here. I think my faves are that nothing makes me love you any less…or more.
And ice cream as the surprise additional love language.
I LOVE this! I don’t have a girl (yet) but this echos my heart is so many ways. The majority of it are things I have tried to teach my little sister over the years. Thanks for putting it all into such eloquent words. I am sure she will treasure them when she gets older and finally learns to appreciate and treasure her mommy.
Love your post. So happy I came across it! I will share this!
Lisa-Jo, love this! I’m going to borrow this idea, if you don’t mind, and twist it up for teens at http://www.moretobe.com! Thanks for the inspiration!
To be honest, my first reaction when I read anything or hear anything about how wonderful someone thinks there child is, is guilt; because, I don’t always feel gratitude toward being a Mother or having a child, or the way I often times so quickly (and negatively) react . . .
But, I read and listen anyway, and in spite of the shortcomings I’ve already passed along to my daughter, I’m grateful to know the strides I’ve taken in a positive direction, one that leads me toward being the Mother I really want to be. Because in my heart I know she is beautiful just the way she is, ALWAYS . . and so is her Mama.
Thank you for sharing, Lisa-Jo. You bless me.
Very beautiful!!
Oh, how many of these things I need to learn myself. Maybe my hardest parenting lesson is always that I can’t be perfect before I raise them (well, or ever
. But I hope I teach my daughter those things – except that fudge should be made from scratch. hehe.
Lisa-Jo, I love all 100, but 91-100 are my favorities…reminds me of these lyrics from sara groves that I have shared with my 32 year-old “little girl” and my 20 year-old “little boy”…
You will lose your baby teeth.
At times, you’ll lose your faith in me.
You will lose a lot of things,
But you cannot lose my love.
You may lose your appetite,
Your guiding sense of wrong and right.
You may lose your will to fight,
But you cannot lose my love.
You will lose your confidence.
In times of trial, your common sense.
You may lose your innocence,
But you cannot lose my love.
Many things can be misplaced;
Your very memories be erased.
No matter what the time or space,
You cannot lose my love.
I need this on my kitchen cupboard as a reminder to me, my daughter and my son. Thank you for your wisdom! In fact I might make it into a little book and give it to my daughter as a gift.
Love, love this post.
What is the best mascara? (link wouldn’t work)
How do you make your 4 pm tea? Ten years ago I lived in a town where I met a wonderful mom who has 4 children. When I would visit her we would have tea. It was relaxing and fun. (She had lived over seas and had made it a part of her everyday life.) I learned so much from her, but not how to make her tea. I would love to have that as part of my life.
Saved this post to read again and again.
Thanks,
Tasha
Whoop, thanks Tara – link is fixed now. And I hear that the best mascara around is Buxom Lash
Love this list so much.
I was tearing up reading this. What a beautiful post. I’m bookmarking this to read again and again…and going back to read over some of those links too. It is a special gift to be a mom to a girl. Thank you for the reminder.
May I say how much I love this? My daughter is getting married in a little over a month, and I want to adapt these for her. Thank you for an invaluable gift.
this is such a great list! my best friend and i
take ice cream to each other and each other’s
kids whenever there is a terrible heartbreak.
it has certainly become one of our love
languages!
could I take this as inspiration and write my own list for my 16 month old girl, Amelia? this is so beautiful!
Poor boy that will love your daughter he will never live up to daddy’s love.
LOVE THIS! There is so much truth and wisdom in this list. Thanks for sharing!
Oh #39. Wish someone would have told me how true THAT would be!
I wish I had thought to make note of some of these things earlier (she’s 5 now), but am hopeful that she’s been catching on without me realizing it. I think this is my favourite: #50: A strong man is never threatened by a strong woman. At 5, she’s already ten times as strong than I am ready for!
# 52. Be the friend you wish you had. That’s my favourite. And so important to women (and men).
Wonderful words! I’m going to pass them on to my girls, maybe tuck in an envelope I’ll leave on the dresser when I drop them off at university. It’s come to soon….next year!
I just had my first baby in January, a sweet, tiny girl. Now, everytime I read a post to or about your daughter I tear up. Thank you for sharing your beautiful words.
I cried and nodded the whole way through your list. My daughter is 11 months old and the little sister, too. I am so excited to be able to teach her all 100 of these and more! Thanks for the moment!
Love. This.
You are teaching your daughter many of the same things I’m teaching my three…especially about expectations and stereotypes forced on them from Christian and non-Christian angles alike. Daughters are such treasures…how wonderful to raise them according to God’s standards, not anyone else’s!
This list is perfection. Raising a daughter has been heavy on my heart today, I long to show her all the beauty of this life and hold her through all the pain. To love her with ice cream and mom dates and movie nights and above all else show her that she is loved, and held by a God and a Mom who love her beyond belief.
I love this wonderful list.
I have 5 boys…no daughter. But I needed this list for myself! Wonderful! Thanks so much for being a cheerleader!
When I got to #68, I laughed out loud. (This is true for our house, as well.)
Loved the list!
I love it, thank you so much for the list, I’m thinking of making my own list and perhaps it becomes a scrapbook for each of my daughters.
As a young woman burgeoning into adulthood (I’m a rising senior in college), this is list is encouraging, inspiring and a challenge. My mom, and other women/mentors in my life, instilled many of these things into my life, and now it’s time to live them out. Thanks for the beautiful reminder of what it means to be a woman!
Abigail, I sure hope my Zoe will embrace it all like you’re doing – your mama raised you right
1000 Gifts is a new read for me. I love it and now she leads me to other great writers like you. Thank you! I hope to follow your words. My daughter is grown and our relationship has been pulled, wounded and broken. At times I have been angry and said things I wish I had not. My words/attempt of forgiveness have been rejected so many times. Now I wait for God to mend and answer my prayers. I have been writing in a blog. I have always loved to write in journals, scraps of paper, and the Sunday opportunity folder.
I have also always had English major friends. This time, I am on my own. I invite you to read my blog and pray for my children. I will send others to your site to read about your love for your children. Blessings. Mary Kay
I don’t know if you will be able to get through all of these beautiful comments, Just know you are a blessing. ~Di
Thank you Diane – these comments are a blessing to me. A gift. You all spoil with your encouragement.
Simply lovely.
I have three daughters myself… your words are like jewels in a treasure box. Thanks for inspiring me to write my own list!
Oh I feel like I’ve found a new friend- wonderful list- can’t wait to go back and click all those links. I grinned and teared up at “I’m your friend, but your mother more”. That was an age old fight between my mom and I. I did not understand why she wasn’t my friend first. Now I have daughters. Now I understand
Daughters do give you your mom back- what a gift! I did not know she was quietly waiting for me to have my own.
i hope you’re going to write a book one day, lisa-jo. i would buy it in a second. (well, you practically wrote my book, i used so many of your quotes, so i guess you have in a sense
) love to you.
I agree with everything, except for number 38. I will never teach my daughter that anyone else has any claim whatsoever over her body. It is hers, and hers alone.
“Your body is yours.”
Just thought I’d point out that she doesn’t say that it belongs to anyone else.
As I read along….I couldn’t help but giggle. I’m at the other end of the mama spectrum.
My son is 22 and my girls are 17 & 19.
Raising them has been a privilege! They are more….than the beauty that can be seen on the outside. They are amazing young women who know they are worth more than just how pretty they are. I love listening to them talk and I can’t help but smile at the GOD confidence they each exhibit in their lives.
Beautiful words Lisa Jo
I’m not a mother yet, but I was someones daughter… And i wanted to say thank you for these words. Everyone has their own story, and we don’t know each others. But thank you from the bottom of my heart for reminding me when my mother can’t.
Loved reading this Lisa-Jo. It spoke volumes about your love for your daughter – and about your vibrant personality.
Fashion isn’t my forte either. Sometimes I actually do rely on my 5-year-old for pointers.
Do you know multiple languages? If so, are you teaching them to your children? If not, how will you go about the process? I’d like to hear more about that.
I wanted to let you know that I have nominated you for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award because of the honesty with which you openly parent your children and encourage your daughter! You inspire me to be a better moem, a better blogger, and a better person!
To accept this award check out my page for more information at the following link
http://ourcrowdedheart.wordpress.com/2012/07/11/bloggers-inspiring-heart-award/
This is such a beautiful list. One that my mother must have envisioned while raising me, that you so gracefully and articulately put into words.
I’m going to link to you in a blog post so I can share your beautiful words with a few folks.
Thank you for your honesty and kind words.
Love this!
This is a beautiful list, and quite similar to the lists I’ve had at heart in raising my daughters. You have articulated these hopes so clearly; reading your list brought a tear to my eye and a smile to my face. I know you will accomplish all 100, even if our daughters forget bits and pieces from time to time
I’m 10 weeks pregnant and I’m sure it’s a girl (hubby thinks it’s a boy). This made me cry pretty hard, thankfully no one noticed.
Thank you so much!
Perfect….beautiful….couldn’t have said it better myself! Thank you do much for sharing!
*so much…
I love this. Thanks so much for sharing it with us.
Lisa-Jo This Is Just Beautiful!!!! #61 Touched My Heart, You Nailed That On The Head!!
Amen to #38, 39, 40, and 41. Beautifully said.
I have never been to your site before (I am subscribing right now!) I came across this as a pin on pinterest and had to check it out. I cried. This is just absolutely beautiful and moving. There are some things on here that I need to remember just for myself. I cannot explain how touching this is.
I wish I had had a list like this when I left home and went off to college, its a time when life can seem a bit too much and this would have helped. I hope your daughter will know how truly blessed she is to have a mom like you.
Tamara
Just loved it!!! Sooo inspiring! I’m in my first pregnancy, and it’s going to be a baby girl… I can’t wait to hold her in may arms!
One of the most beautifully written things I’ve ever read! I loved each & every one and it’s ok that it made me cry…it felt good.
Wow! This is so touching! I laughed, I cried and I smiled. I am also going to write one for myself and my daughter! One of my biggest fears for my daughter is not seeing herself as beautiful. THANK YOU for posting this!
Excuse me as I cry and call my mom.
I truly enjoyed this piece.
I wrote a similar letter to my daughter back on Mother’s Day here in the States and it did my soul good.
With a girl squeezed in between 2 boys…..there can never be enough of these letters.
These are the most insprational lessons I have ever read. Thank you so much for posting! Number 80 is my favorite
This is wonderful. One more to add: You can do hard things.
Thank you for this amazing list, I think so many of these things, but have never put them to ‘paper’. I have two gorgeous girls and I am going to make my list right now! Bless you
Loved the list. It just filled my heart with joy and gratitude for the wondrous gift of my daughter❤
i love this
Hi Lisa Jo- I discovered your blog this evening on pinterst. This post really hit my heart. I am in the process of writing a letter to my daughter for her 2nd bday and I couldn’t agree more with some of your points of life. THe one that especially touched my heart was #61.
I lost my mother to breast cancer when I was 11 years old. My daughter is named Elle in memory of my mom as my mom’s name was Elaine. She is truly a gift from God. There are so many things I cherish from my childhood and even though my mom was ill for most of it she made darn sure being a mommy was still her #1 priority. That is my goal that I try to live out every day.
Thank you for being such a great inspiration for all of us other mommies.
Hugs,
Heidi Jo
This is so beautiful and heart felt. Thank you so-so much for sharing this. I’m gonna go give my momma a hug now
These words give me chills for all the right reasons. Thank you for sharing and inspiring.
What a fantastic list for girls. I wrote a similar one for my daughter as she graduated from college years ago. I called it “Stuff My Mom Told Me: The Refresher Course”.
You have inspired me to do this for my little girl. You are amazing
So espectacular! i would like if you let me, add a link in blog! Beautiful, thank you! My sons will be jealous maybe someday…
I’m 21 and my heart needed this. I’m sitting here kind of sobbing. I love my mom to death, but she wasn’t very intentional growing up…you just spoke and affirmed so many things inside of me. You have inspired me.
This was beautiful Lisa Jo! Brought tears to my eyes! <3
I absolutely love number 84, but am so sorry to tell you that your daughter won’t listen to it if it applies to her. My Mother was in a cross-cultural marriage. When I went to marry someone from a completely different culture than the 2 I was raised in both my Mother and Stepfather warned me how hard it was but I assumed that since I lived it I knew. I so didn’t. I always tell my children now to find someone with a similar background to their own, but since I didn’t listen I can only hope that whatever they choose they will be happy! Being forewarned however, I do take responsibility for the difficulties. I love all of the advice you gave and actually in the middle of making a list of things I would like all my kids to know, but I love the girl specific ones you have here.
South African pancakes really are the best! LOVE this list.
Absolutely love this! Some really really hit home. <3 <3
lisa jo your are amazingly cool! i mean..the civil wars?!
i liked all of these, but im having a hard time accepting #60 lol. but really, good stuff.
Lisa,
Your list took my breath away. I am the mother of two delightful daughters, ages 4 and 2. Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined the joy, the ache, the lessons, and the fulfillment that comes from parenting my princesses. I’m truly growing in my relationship with Christ as I now have a better picture of the unconditional love between a parent and a child. Of course, I can only see a glimpse of the purest of loves that our Father has for us…….but even a glimpse of this love allows me to bathe my girls in love everyday. I absolutely LOVE the truth and humor of your list of wisdom. It inspires me to create my own list for my girls. Thank you for being you, and thank you for sharing a bit of you.
Your sister-in-motherhood,
Erica
I really like your list. I came across it on pinterest one day. The only thing I want to say is about #84. I am in an inter-racial marriage, and the only thing that is hard about it (or that has been hard about it) is other people’s reactions/opinions about it. There is nothing hard about it in MY marriage. My husband and I love each other unconditionally and are bringing up our children to see PEOPLE, not color or race or culture. The way you have it worded here almost sounds like you are discouraging your children from having an inter-racial or cross-cultural relationship. ANY relationship can be hard, but different races or cultures doesn’t have to be one of the things that makes it hard. In my opinion, it’s one of the things that makes it beautiful. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I just wanted to share mine. I really do love your list. There are some great pearls of wisdom here. I just don’t necessarily agree with #84.
Wise words, here. Thanks Celia.
And I think EVERY marriage is cross-cultural. The microculture of family, and the fact that one is male and one is female is enough to convince me!
re: # 21 — I would change that to KIND eyes really do melt hearts.
4. Definitely not always true.
5. MOST definitely not always true. Brothers, while always, perhaps, *loving* a sister, will not always treat them the way a mother would want, say, a boyfriend to treat them. If anything, being a girl and having brothers will teach a girl how men ought NOT to behave.
Dear Anon, Your comment about number 4 is certainly understandable, and most assuredly, true for the general populace. I assumed she meant her daughter’s father, and not just fathers in general.
As for number 5? For me…NOT while growing up. However, once grown: definitely.
Love, love, love this wonderful letter to your daughter.
I MUST add about number 38 and 39, if it doesn’t work out like that, you’ll still be perfect, whole, and lovable. I am.
Amen.
Absolutely wonderful!!!! Love just love it
are great tips for my daughter, thanks! I needed …
Beautiful, just plain flat out, Beautiful
Awww I just love this!! Thank you – pinning it to my “For Girls” board and will share something similar with my daughter when she’s old enough. <3 I'm curious about South African pancakes because the ones my mom makes are pretty fantastic.
Jamie
For Love of Cupcakes
Amazing, gorgeous words and lessons for your daughter. What a lovely gift for her to cherish forever. Thanks for sharing, it touched my heart. You are very blessed.
Hi, I’m Devin and I’m fifteen. I just want to say thank you for writing this list. I read it every night before go to bed to remind myself that what you have written is completely true. You opened my eyes to a whole new side of myself that I had no idea was there.
You inspired me. Thank you.
-Devin
Precious Devin. What a wonderful one-of-a-kind you are. Yes, strong, brave, daughter, friend – you are all these to someone. Praying a blessing on the fifteen years that come next.
Wow. This and you are amazing. It brought tears to my eyes. I am still reading from the daughter side but my Mom is everything. I am away from home and needed a boost, a taste of home. Thank you for sharing. Thank you.
Thank you for posting this! You put into words what my heart wants to say but just didn’t know how!! Thank you and God bless! What an incredible and inspiring thing to be able to share with my daughter!
I am currently a teenage girl almost ready to graduate in a year or two, and some of these are exactly what I needed to hear. Sometimes I feel being a girl is just SO DAMN HARD, but these tips are beautiful and full of grace. I love them all and it felt good to be reminded of some of these. Your little girl is in good hands. All the best to you <3
This is truly beautiful.
Oh, if only #38 wasn’t there! It would be perfect. Heart-melting anyway!
Well said. Love my children. We are sans a father figure; he decided he wanted a different life so we let him go.
I love it. I cried just reading it.
Love this so much! Thank you for taking such time and care to create the list. I do not have a daughter, I have a little boy but a lot of what you wrote is perfect for all parents to teach their children. Thank you again, I was so glad I read this!
Is this in print at all? Book, etc?
Hey! I really love reading your stuff but this list literally has me in tears each time I read it. I would really love to use it it a painting (most of them as some of them I will change to suit our South African culture – sure you know!). I would love to know if that is ok.
Thanks!
In all honesty this is a fantastic detailed post however as with most wonderful copy writers there are some details that is labored after. Yet in no way the much less it turned out intriguing.
