On Wednesday’s episode, Hoda explained that one of Princess Diana’s sweaters was on sale and discussed it with her fellow co-hosts: Savannah Guthrie, 51, Al Roker, 69, and Craig Melvin, 44.

After Hoda was finished talking, Savannah spoke.

“Hoda you’re on the run it’s the first day of school!” she said.

In the moment, Hoda smiled big at how excited she was: “Taking my kids to school! Okay, can I leave right now? Bye!”

She quickly got up from her chair, grabbed her phone, and ran off-camera to make it home in time.

Later on in the show, Craig mentions that Hoda will be back.

“Rest assured, she’ll be back in plenty of time tomorrow.”

Hoda has two daughters named Haley and Hope.

She and her then-fiancé Joel Schiffman adopted Haley in 2017 and then adopted Hope in 2019.

‘TODAY IS YOUR DAY’

Also on Wednesday, Hoda took to her Instagram Story to share a quote from Dr. Seuss.

“You’re off to great places, today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, so get on your way,” the post read – which featured a rainbow and a flower.

The quote could be seen as an inspiration for her daughters to do well in school.

SUMMER OF FUN

Before her two little girls headed back to school, the family headed on a vacation to enjoy the final days of summer.

The US daytime TV star took some time off from her hosting duties last week.

Hoda revealed her whereabouts as fans were wondering where she was.

She shared several shots while enjoying the warm weather.

The TV star shared pictures with her sister, Hala, the bright moon over the ocean, the sunset, and her two daughters: Haley Joy and Hope Catherine.

In her caption, she shared her excitement for the coming fall season.

“We took this picture of the moon last night..our last hurrah of summer! We are ready for you September— see you in the morning,” she said, along with a heart emoji.

‘BEAUTIFUL FAMILY!’

After fans saw the carousel of photos, they commented positive messages.

“Thank you for sharing. Your smile and zest is contagious! Girls are getting so big! You have beautiful family,” one commented.

Another person said: “Love this family getaway for you!”

“These pictures are amazing! It makes me smile,” wrote a third.

Hoda’s co-star, Jenna Bush Hager, 41, also commented: “Let’s goooo.”
