Ivanka Trump has a feature in the March issue of Vogue to promote Celebrity Apprentice. She’s photographed here by Mario Testino. Her dress is Erdem, and she’s hanging out with her son, Joseph. Most of the interview covers Ivanka’s fast-paced lifestyle and how she rules the boardroom at work but finds time to balance family. Her husband, Jared Kushner, is present through much of the discussion. He calls his wife “definitely the CEO of our household, whereas I’m more on the board of directors.”

Ivanka’s previously talked about how she works 16 hour days, and she sees her kids (including daughter Arabella) at night for a quick sleep routine. Ivanka believes working so much helps her be a better mother when she comes home. The mere thought exhausts me because there’s always so much to be done as a mother. Even working for 8 hours every day on top of mothering can push someone to their limits. Jared says Ivanka “doesn’t want to outsource mothering,” but she does have help. She just doesn’t talk about it.

In this interview with Vicki Woods, Ivanka reveals how she focuses on family in one key way. Every weekend she turns off her phone to observe the Sabbath, which is solely devoted to family time:

On turning off her phone: “Yeah, we observe the Sabbath. From Friday to Saturday we don’t do anything but hang out with one another. We don’t make phone calls. It’s an amazing thing when you’re so connected … to really sign off. And for Arabella to know that she has me, undivided, one day a week? We don’t do anything except play with each other, hang out with one another, go on walks together. Pure family.”

On appreciating what she has: “You realize in life not that many things matter that much, but your choice of spouse is really everything. I am running a thousand miles a minute, and so is he, but none of it really matters. And I wouldn’t be able to do any of it if I didn’t have somebody who cared about me and had my best interests in mind. If I was married to somebody who, even if beneath the surface, didn’t like the fact that I work so hard or didn’t support my ambitions for myself or felt self-conscious about my last name … I think it would be very hard to build a solid foundation on that.”

Ivanka also reveals how she and Jared go out nearly every weeknight together, which sounds awesome but exhausting. I couldn’t be away from home for 16 hours (plus a date and time with a personal trainer) every day, but no shade. It works for them, and a dose of concentrated family time every weekend must help a lot. Turning off your phone for 25 hours every weekend is a hardcore commitment. Ivanka seems very well bonded with her kids in these pictures. Good for her.
