Calling All Mothers and Daughters!
A recent survey conducted by cultural anthropologist Grant McCracken suggests that mother-daughter relationships have been enhanced during the pandemic. He predicts that the results of these tightened bonds—and how women prioritize family relationships—will endure beyond the age of Covid-19. Do you have a story to share with Hadassah Magazine about you and your mother or daughter, or both?

Once it became apparent that we would not be getting together any time soon in the near future, my adult daughter, who lives abroad, suggested that we have baking tutorials on Saturday mornings. During the week, we select a recipe so that she has time to place her online food order. Chocolate chip cookies with Reese’s pieces. Lemon loaf. Blueberry muffins. Banana chip bars. White chocolate chip macadamia cookies. Pumpkin muffins. The list goes on and with each we remember the fun times when we were able to share these treats. We laugh as she grows impatient with creaming butter and sugar and adding eggs, one at a time. Her skills have grown and truth be told, she no longer needs adult supervision. But oh what fun we have and so continue. And as we build sweet memories together, we realize how fortunate we are to spend Saturday mornings measuring, mixing, blending, shaping, and loving.
