Hoda Kotb talks about her plans to spend more time at home with daughters Haley and Hope, focusing on creating a normal rhythm of life and letting them discover who they are.
I\u2019m just going to let us be a family with a normal rhythm of life,\u201d she says about daughters Haley and Hope. \u201cSee what we become.\u201d \u201cI think what I\u2019m going to do is I\u2019m going to — I have it like a schedule because I wanted to frame a couple of days so I didn\u2019t wake up and go, 'Oh I\u2019ll do whatever.' And then you\u2019re like, 'Huh?'' she explains.Sign up for NBC New York\u2019s News Headlines newsletter.
How Angelina Jolie and Son Knox are helping family amid LA fires\u201cI\u2019m working on a whole bunch of different things, but I\u2019m going to do, from 9-11, two hours, work there,\u201d she says.\u201cThen, for the afternoon, for 11-12 — that period of time, that\u2019s where I want to really take time because you get creative when you have space. When you\u2019re sprinting from place to place, you lose all your creativity. So I want to be able to have room to take walks outside.\u201d After a bit more work in the afternoon, Hoda looks forward to picking up her girls from school.Hoda says what\u2019s going to be 'the most important' thing for her is locking down what her daily routine will be because she likes a schedule. 'I\u2019ll be making space for myself during the days, which, usually, my days were just kind of a sprint through,' she says. 'I had, like, 'Thankful Thursdays,' where I would squeeze in something good for me on Thursdays, but that really isn\u2019t really enough. 'Even if it\u2019s a 30-minute walk — just me, no music, no podcast, no nothing — just walk. See what that feels like.' she\u2019s most looking forward to doing with her daughters after she leaves TODAY is walking them to school. But there are plenty of other things Hoda can\u2019t wait to 'let' her daughters experience. 'I think the reason why this is a magical concept ... is because we\u2019re living in a moment of time where people feel like so much is out of their control,' Robbins said. 'No matter what\u2019s going on outside of you, the power is always inside of you,' Robbins explains. 'Two simple words, 'let them,' are the key to helping you to see what\u2019s in your control and what\u2019s not in your control.'hoda kotb about daughters haley and hope Now that Hoda will soon be spending more time at home with Haley and Hope, what will she 'let them' do that they didn\u2019t get the chance to do previously? 'I am going to let them become who they were meant to be with my kind of loving boundaries,' Hoda tells TODAY.com. 'I think I came from a generation of 'follow the rules,'' she explains,'and you followed the rules, and you were very obedient, and you were a good kid. But discovering who you were came so much later in life because you were too busy trying to be right, trying to fit in spaces.' In addition to wanting her kids to be polite and respectful, Hoda also will encourage her girls to 'know who they are.' 'I\u2019m going to let them find the voice inside them,' she says. 'I\u2019m going to let them take more trips and stay up a little later because part of the reason I put them to bed at that hour is because I\u2019ve got to go to bed. I\u2019m like, 'Goodnight! Everyone\u2019s going to bed.' They\u2019re like, 'It\u2019s 6:30!' I\u2019m like, 'Yeah, lights out!' 'I\u2019m going to let them fall and not get in the way and not try to scoop them up so quickly, like I usually do,' she continues.NFL playoffs: Here\u2019s the wild-card weekend schedule and how to watc
