Teigen pulled from her experiences as a mom when coming up with her thoughtful design for the wagon.
“If you saw theArchitectural Digest,John and I both are really quite a neutral palettewhen it comes to us as a couple. So our Petal Pop with the wagon was really important to me,” she says. “With Luna, I started out thinking, ‘Oh no, I’m never going to have bright-colored toys.’ I wanted everything to fit in the house and look so beautiful and peaceful.”
“Once we started growing and having more children, I realized the importance of color in their lives and the importance for them to wear color and how it makes them feel fun and special,” she continues.
“The idea of seeing things in color was really important to me because, with my first pregnancy withLuna, I wasn’t seeing things in color necessarily,” she says, referencingher heartbreaking strugglewith postpartum depression after her now 7-year-old was born.
“It wasn’t until I got over that hump and really started to appreciate color that it really changed my mood. So I wanted something bright and beautiful and fun for them. That’s why the wagon embodies all the things I think children need to see, and really all of us. Having color in your world is really important.”

“Being able to see the actualities of what they’re doing is really important to me and very special. Being one of their angels is honestly a partnership with a group of people that are wonderful to be around and really care about what they do,” Teigen shares. “Getting to use my platform to help them is important because I have this complete mom desire to create a better world for all children.”
“And to take Luna and Miles to the warehouse to see everything firsthand and understand where their donations go and enjoy a beautiful event where we get to meet so many different families, which is really special,” she adds.

Now that they’re settling back into their school year routine, Teigen also feels “blessed” that her husband’s schedule onThe Voiceallows for lots of family time.
“He gets to work nice little hours on set in Los Angeles and I get to work from home. And as the babies become more independent — where they can sit in their bouncy seat, we call Esti’s her little office, and theyplay with all the things around them— and you get some freedom.”
“I’m really looking forward to Wren becoming. Esti is 7 months now and Wren is 2 [months] andseeing the difference between themis crazy. But I think as things pick up with the kids and we get more and more comfortable in the house, it will be great.”
