Carrie Bickmore has a lot going on.

Between appearing on our TV screens five nights a week to tell us what is happening in the world, raising two little people and organising her Beanies 4 Brain Cancer events, it’s fair to wonder how the heck she has time to do it all.

Yep, the co-host of The Project knows how to juggle a ball…or ten.

So, we decided to ask her how she keeps them up in the air all at once.

It has a lot to do with routine, and active wear, she told Holly Wainwright on the latest episode of I Don’t Know How She Does It.

Carrie talks about sharing her private life:

Carrie, who gave birth to her daughter Evie last year, says that it was hard going back to work three months after the birth.

“I loved being off with her. When I had Ollie it was a different period in my life…I really needed to keep working. I don’t remember just stopping and being in the moment. But then with Evie I was like ‘Okay, you never thought you’d have another one ,so take this time and enjoy it.” she said.

The co-host of The Project says her own mum was a great role model for working women; a woman excited and challenged by her job.

Since having  second child Evie, things have gotten a lot more hectic for the 35-year-old.

“I often have my friends and family call me and say ‘I haven’t heard from you, what are you doing? And I often feel sometimes disconnected from the world because I don’t have those little moments where I duck out and get a coffee and call my friend. But you know, that’s life,” she says.

The Gold Logie winner gives us all her tips on routine, sleep, time-saving beauty hacks, what she learnt from being a mum the second time around, the best piece of parenting advice she ever received, and the kitchen appliance that has changed everything.
