Hoda Kotb makes clocks for her kidsHoda Kotb has found an adorable way to stay connected to her daughters while she's covering the Olympics in Paris.
On Thursday, July 25, the Today co-host, 59, shared a photo on Instagram of a wall in her home where the mom of two had hung two clocks: one displaying the time in New York and another showing the time in Paris.
Underneath both clocks was printed "USA" and "Paris" so Kotb's daughters Hope, 4, and Haley, 7, could know what time it is in France, where their mom is covering the 2024 Summer Olympics. "Clocks for my kids ❤️🇺🇸🇫🇷," she captioned her Instagram.
The photo also showed a hand-drawn schedule of the Olympics, which includes not only the "Opening Ceremony" and "Gymnastics! Big Day!" but also "Mama home" and "Mama B-day."

Earlier this week, Kotb shared that she had a special activity planned for her family of three to feel close while she's away. The proud mom said she would be making a "Love You Loops" chain made out of paper for her daughters.
"I do a loop a day where we hide a little something like stickers or hair ties, and then they know how many days are left," explained Kotb, who is traveling to Paris with co-hosts Savannah Guthrie, Al Rocker and Craig Melvin to cover the athletic games from Friday, July 26 to Sunday, Aug. 11.
In June, the mom of two chatted with guest host Sheinelle Jones on Today with Hoda & Jenna about her plans that weekend, revealing that she and her daughters went skinny dipping.
"We skinny-dipped! It was so fun! My kids were screaming. They were literally shrieking with delight," Kotb shared on the episode.
“You went skinny dipping with your children?” Jones asked in disbelief. "Yeah, yeah,” Kotb replied.
Later in the episode, she shared more details about the experience. "We got out the towels, we're right there. We were like running inside, screaming the whole time," Kotb recalled.
“Did they just have the best time?” Jones asked. "It was so fun,” the mom of two replied.
"Just tell them there's a time and a place," Jones laughed, later praising Kotb for being "such a good mom."
