JESSICA Alba admits she struggles to juggle her career with motherhood.

The actress — who raises Honor, four, and 13-month-old Haven with husband Cash Warren — feels as if she is failing to balance her personal and professional commitments but always ensures she puts her daughters first.

“I don’t think I balance it very well,” she said.

“I feel like I’m always compromising something, but my kids’ happiness [is] my priority. Everything else is secondary, and I just try to do my best.”

Alba recently revealed how she includes her kids in her charity work.

The actress and co-founder of The Honest Company is already taking action when it comes to teaching her daughters Honor Marie, 4, and Haven Garner, 13 months, the benefits of giving back.

“I talk to Honor about not wasting and recycling. I talk to her about having so many things and that there are children out there who don’t have what she has,” she said.

“So when she is done playing with something or outgrows something, it goes to a baby who doesn’t have it.

“Honor is just running her mouth about her observations on the world, and her desire to be a doctor mermaid.

“I think Haven will be walking soon and every day she is saying a new word — right now it’s hot.

“I am really into schedules. It helps me stay sane. You will never be perfect so just trying to take it one day at a time, do as much as you can and live in the moment.”
