“I kind of always say I wish I’d taken more pictures along the way,” Underwood told the outlet. “I multitask everything. I’m always go, go, go. I’m always juggling everything, and I feel like I’m a lot better now at kind of enjoying the moment.
“I feel like I would tell myself to do more of that. ‘Look around. Enjoy yourself. Take a minute.’ I’m a hard worker. It doesn’t have to be go, go, go all the time. Just, ‘Take more workcations.’ “
Despite saying that, she told PEOPLE that their holiday schedule is pretty hectic.
“This year, there’s a lot of travel involved, but that’s kind of our tradition,” Underwood said. “We try to be with all of our family. We want it all. But that’s where we are right now in life is the traveling because we don’t have any family that actually lives near us, so it’s just go, go, go.”
Underwood also recently opened up to PEOPLE about the three miscarriages she suffered over the last few years in between the birth of her two sons.
“We initially in our lives kind of wanted our kids a little closer in age,” she told the outlet in the latest issue of the magazine. “That didn’t happen, because God has a different plan sometimes.”
It isn't the first time she's talked about going through that rough time.
“I guess you wait for things to stop hurting at some point,” Underwood told The Guardian earlier this year. “But letting yourself go there ... other people that are going through the same thing. It kind of connects you to them. I will always mourn those children, those lives that were a shooting star, a breath of smoke, but I have Jacob, and he is incredible. He is the sweetest little baby. At the time it was awful, and it still hurts, but it’s kind of like 'OK, I have this.'”
