Hoda Kotb hit snooze on her alarm on Monday, January 13, when she realized she did not have to wake up early to head to the Today studio.

Hoda, 60, shared a photo of the alarms turned off on her phone on Sunday, January 12. “No alarm…whaaaaaaaattttt???” she captioned the post. Hoda used to have alarms set for 3:00 a.m., 3:15 a.m. and 3:30 a.m. on weekdays when she was hosting Today.

The broadcaster marked her final episode as a Today host on January 10 with a star-studded celebration on the Today plaza. Now, her days are looking a little different as her mornings have freed up.

Today host Savannah Guthrie wrote, “Girrrrrrrrrrrl so happy for you plus why am I still awake.”

Another person said, “Enjoy!! Take in each moment tomorrow, and every day. Smell the roses! You have worked so hard for this day! God bless you!!”

“SO HAPPY FOR YOU. Enjoy your cozy morning full of snuggles and kisses,” a third person said.

Hoda, who lives with daughters Haley and Hope in a new home in the suburbs, previously revealed how she will spend her mornings now that her time on Today has come to an end.

“I think what I’m going to do is I’m going to — I have it like a schedule because I wanted to frame a couple of days so I didn’t wake up and go, ‘Oh I’ll do whatever.’ And then you’re like, ‘Huh?’” she told Today.com on January 9. “So I kind of have my miniday planned.”

Though she will no longer be waking up at 3 a.m. to rush to Today, Hoda still intends on getting her days started pretty early to take an exercise class. The mom of two also said that she would be taking her kids to school in the morning.

“I will get them breakfast and walk with that cup of coffee to the school,” she said, before explaining that after dropping the girls off she will “get to work on this wellness company I’m going to start.”

“I’m working on a whole bunch of different things, but I’m going to do, from 9-11, two hours, work there,” Hoda revealed. “Then, for the afternoon, for 11-12 — that period of time, that’s where I want to really take time because you get creative when you have space. When you’re sprinting from place to place, you lose all your creativity. So I want to be able to have room to take walks outside.”

After getting work done and exercising, Hoda will pick Haley, 8, and Hope, 5, up from school. Overall, the bestselling author is excited to spend more time with her children and watch them grow up.

“I’m going to let them find the voice inside them,” she said. “I’m 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’ve got to go to bed. I’m like, ‘Goodnight! Everyone’s going to bed.’ They’re like, ‘It’s 6:30!’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, lights out!'”

“I’m going to let them fall and not get in the way and not try to scoop them up so quickly, like I usually do,” the doting parent added. “I’m just going to let us be a family with a normal rhythm of life. See what we become.”
