Andrea Canning: Inside a Day in My Life

She has it covered! Andrea Canning showed Us Weekly how she manages family and work during a typical day. The Dateline NBC correspondent, 48, is a mother of six. She shares her big brood with husband Tony Bancroft, a United States Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel. The two have been married since 2008. The couple must get Anna, 12, Charlie, 11, Kiki, 9, Georgia, 7, and Elle, 6, to school in the morning while Tripp, 2, gets to stay with his mom during the day. Canning, with Tripp's help, meal preps for dinner and indulges with some pizza for lunch before getting some work done. She's busy since Dateline airs all-new two-hour episodes on NBC Fridays at 9 p.m. ET. Canning caught up with Us while she was filming part of the October 22 Dateline episode, which investigated the 2017 murder of singer Egypt Covington.

After the girls head to school, I get an early start on prepping dinner with the help of Tripp (2 years old.) Tonight is one of their favorites -  pasta with butter and parmesan cheese.

My husband (USMC Lieutenant Colonel Tony Bancroft) and I take Tripp out to lunch to one of our favorite spots - a nearby pizza place.

Time to track for a few reports I have coming up for Dateline NBC. I can’t reveal much yet, but I am really looking forward to viewers being able to see what we’ve been working on.

When I am not traveling, I make sure to pick up the girls from school. On the way home we get to catch up about how their day was – our dog, Topaz, loves the walk!  (Georgia, Tripp, Elle and Kiki in the back)

Ahead of a shoot I have tonight, I take some time to change and get ready. The commute for today’s shoot isn’t too bad – right outside my house!

I love reading to the girls before bed. This is actually one of Tripp’s favorite books as well – he love the pictures!
