Chelsea Clinton is ready for motherhood. 

In an interview with Glamour Magazine, the former first daughter said she intends to start a family with her husband Marc Mezvinsky, next year. The 33-year-old admitted that starting a family with her husband of three years has been on her mind since her maternal grandmother, Dorothy Rodham, died at the end of 2011.

"I've never been so list as I was when she passed," the former first daughter said. 

Clinton recently accompanied her dad, former president Bill Clinton, on a trip to Africa where they visited 20 facilities in four countries that work to provide clean water, improve farming techniques and offer entrepreneurial training. 

"My grandmother was determined that everyone feel a sense of optimism and opportunity," she said. "Marc and I want to make sure we're doing that. This period in our lives is not just a tribute to her, it's inspired by her. And it's for when we have our own children I want to help make sure we've got a world I want them to live in."

The Stanford University graduate said that her grandmother's death pushed her and her husband to sit down and talk about their plans for the future.  

"The first thing on the list was simple: We want, God willing, to start a family." she said. "So we decided to make 2014 the Year of the Baby. And please don't call my mother and tell her that."

Clinton said her mother and former Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton, can not wait to be a grandmother. 

"She asks us about it every single day," she told the magazine. 

During her spare time, she is the cice chairman of the Bill, Hilary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation, previously known as the William J. Clinton Foundation.
