Hudgens spoke to E! News about how she manages her time with one baby in diapers and another one on the way at the Narwal Summer Soiree in West Hollywood in August.
'Balance? I don’t know her,' Hudgens said. 'Life is crazy and time is a really precious thing. I am a person of extremes - I'm all in doing one thing or another. So, I guess that's balance, if you call extremes balance.'
She added that being a mom has been enlightening and she’s learning to 'slow down and enjoy the moment.'
'It's so easy to focus on things in the future,' Hudgens revealed. 'Say, "I'll be happy when," or, "Things will be easier when." But that's not what's important. What's important is the moment that is in front of you.'
Still, the Spring Breakers star has to admit motherhood can be 'exhausting.'
'Being a mom is literally the most exhausting thing on the entire planet,' she shared, adding that she's 'so grateful' for Narwal, which makes robot deep-cleaning vacuums and mops.
'It allows me some time back to myself. So that when I put my little one down, I don't have to mop the floors. I can actually just enjoy my evening and throw on some Love Island.'
