I think it is admirable that you are concerned about spending time with your daughter. You guys can always go shopping or to a movie together. Let her pick the movie most of the time. Museums are always educational and fun too. What does she like to do? Make dinner dates sometimes. Or better yet--prepare a meal and eat together. Kids love helping to prepare dinner. Always listen to her so that she knows that what she has to say is important to you----no matter how busy or tired you may be! Stop what you are doing and LISTEN to her no matter what. Well, good luck and congratulations---you are a great mom. Peace.

You guys should help each other study! Quiz each other, etc.Then reward yourselves with a walk in the park and ice cream. Or reward yourselves with an at-home mini "spa."
OR go for walks, bike rides, etc. You will spend time together and get exercise, which reduces stress and is healthy.
Cook together - prepare some meals for the week and freeze them, making your week less stressful but at the same time, getting this chore done while sharing skills and teaching your daughter.
Girls Night - movies and popcorn.
There are lots of things you can do that will allow you to get stuff done, be productive and spend valuable time with her daughter, teaching her life skills.

Set apart a set time that you will spend with her. Maybe you 2 can do your homeowrk together. When you are at work, call her and let her know that you love her on your lunch break. Get some cheap cards for like a $1 that you can put in her lunch box or whatever. Let her know that you think about her.

First of all organization is the key, to run your household, because in the long run it will be worth it. My daughter and I use to love to go to the festivals, on the weekend, go to the mall, have a day of shopping, and bring a friend of hers along, she may like that too. Lunch and a movie! Go and get your feet done! another fun thing is to make cookies together, and cupcakes, and decorate them. Always tell her, how much you love her, and how special she is to you, tell her she is your star!

Take naps with her, have lunch with her, go shopping with her. But first turn off your phones, so no body would disturb the moments.

Set aside some time every week where you focus on just her
