NSW Police said the 36-year-old woman was allegedly driving 37km/h over the speed limit on the Kings Highway at Currowan, 130 kilometres south-east of Canberra, on December 27.
NSW Police say officers stopped her and arrested her after she returned an alcohol reading of 0.134.
"She was charged with drink driving and had her licence suspended on the spot," a NSW Police statement said.
"Police will allege that at the time of the offence there were two girls in the car, aged eight and 11."
The woman is due to face Batemans Bay Local Court on February 27.
About 10.45pm the same day, a 20-year-old Sydney man was allegedly detected driving at 140km/h on the Hume Highway at Bookham, about 90 kilometres north-west of Canberra.
Police say checks revealed the man was a P1 Provisional driver, with a maximum speed restriction of 90km/h.
He was issued an infringement for exceeding the speed limit by more than 45km/h and had his licence suspended immediately.
