**Jenna Bush Hager** discusses the "not glamorous and sometimes be draining" aspects of motherhood.

The Today co-host, 40, opened up to PEOPLE about her new partnership with Dawn, for which she wrote a digital children^/s book called The Wonderful World of Blue. She also discussed how she finds joy in the more challenging parts of being a mom.

The mother of three acknowledged that there are also "parts of mothering that are dull and can be boring," noting that she has "wrote in past books that sometimes I hide from the kids in the cupboard and just have a cheese stick."

She said,** "I try to think that^/s life, that^/s what we^/re doing, that^/s what we^/re living, even the boring parts. Even in the tedious aspects of parenthood, "I strive to find the love and the pleasure that I know I feel for my kids."**

Bush Hager, who along with her husband Henry Hager has three children, Henry "Hal" Harold, 2, Poppy Louise, 6, and Margaret "Mila" Laura, 9, said, "That^/s what I hope."  
She continued, "I hope I can have fun even when I^/m tired, ready for bed, and have urged them to brush their teeth for the hundredth time." I really want to make an effort to cherish those times because they are all we have.

Bush Hager also praised the special relationship between her three children and their 13-month-old cousin Cora Georgia, as well as her excitement at watching twin sister Barbara Bush Pierce recently become a mother, in other parts of the conversation.

As Bush Hager said to PEOPLE, "I think witnessing somebody you love become a mom, watching [Barbara] have her dreams come true has been this tremendous blessing."

She continued, "She adores motherhood; it^/s just the most natural, amazing thing for her. "I adored it. Being an aunt is wonderful. That tiny baby pumpkin is adorable!"  
After Cora was born, Bush Hager wrote a touching Instagram post to honour her niece.

She penned, "Greetings, Cora Georgia. I finally got to meet my most stunning, adorable, and spirited niece today—a little early than we had anticipated!"

She commented, "I watched in astonishment as my dearest, hardest @barbara.p.bush became a mother," and included several images from the hospital. "And today is the day that I started dating! Some of your cousins can^/t wait to play with you, but not yet, love. Aunt J, xo"
