As for her daily looks, the mom-of-two admits there are multiple outfit changes mainly consisting of t-shirts since things can get messy in their household. “We go through a few outfits a day just because of all the fun stuff [we do] — we made some homemade Play-Doh the other day,” she said. “I really let them explore whether it’s out in the garden or even in our own kitchen. I give them a lot of things so they can have sensory play. So they’re constantly getting dirty, which is how it should be. Lots of T-shirts,” she added.
