The first lady of the United States of America sat down with out talk show host Ellen DeGeneres to discuss life in the White House as her husband Barack Obama's term comes to an end.

In an episode that aired Tuesday, Michelle Obama told DeGeneres she will miss White House staff most of all.

"Think about it: The girls have grown up in the White House," Obama told DeGeneres. "I mean, the staff that's there -- we see them every day. These are people who have helped us raise our kids. They've loved us. They've taken care of us. The minute we leave, that's it."

Obama said she has been trying to get her daughters, Sasha, 15, and Malia Obama, 18, to enjoy their last months in their stately home.

"We're trying to have them step back and really appreciate the walk on the South Lawn, sitting on the Truman Balcony. I mean, we just want to keep creating some memories for them as well."

Watch Michelle Obama discuss her future with Ellen DeGeneres.
