Judy Ann Santos may be juggling several roles, but one thing that she absolutely loves doing is being a mom to her three kids with Ryan Agoncillo.

The award-winning actress is a doting mom to her children namely Yohan, 19; Lucho, 13; and Luna, 8.

Judy Ann talked about how she managed to have time with her kids despite her busy schedule during the Maggi and Nestle Cream Food Creator Network event held at the Blue Leaf Events Pavilion in Taguig City last Friday, June 7.

The celebrity mom stressed that spending time with your children is priceless.

“Hindi ako nakakaramdam ng pagod, more so there's time management. Importante 'yung time management and 'yung support mo with your partner. Siyempre, sisiguraduhin mo you spend time with your kids, each one of them, kasi ang mga anak namin five years apart ng pagitan ng bawat isa sa kanila.

“So, iba-iba talaga sila ng level ng pag-iisip, iba-iba rin sila ng mga problema sa buhay. Actually, spend quality time... nagdi-date si Ryan at saka Lucho, nagdi-date si Ryan at saka si Yohan. Kami rin ni Yohan nagdi-date kami. Those are memories na hindi mo mabibili sa Toy Kingdom, na hindi mo rin mabibili sa mga apps, hindi sila online. It's a memory that you create with your family na hindi mananakaw, so napaka-importante sa akin."

To be able to spend time with her kids, Judy Ann highlighted the importance of time management.

She said, “Kaya importante rin sa akin na properly scheduled ang bawat trabaho ko. Meron akong at least pahinga na isang araw and in between of my work days kasi kailangan ko i-reset yung sarili ko, at the same time, makapagbigay ako ng oras sa pamilya ko, sa mga anak ko.”

The actress-chef also added that doing small things to show affection towards your family goes a long way. For example, Judy Ann writes simple notes to express how much she loves her husband and kids.

She relaed, “Pero I really make it a point na 'pag may pasok, I make it a point na ako yung gigising sa kanila. Ako yung gagawa ng pagkain nila sa umaga, sasabayan ko sila sa almusal. Ihahatid ko sila sa first days of school nila.

“I make little notes sa mga baon nila, same goes with my husband, lalagyan ko rin siya ng little notes. Little things like letting your family know that you think of them and how much you love them, just makes me happy.

“And hinahanap pala nila yun mga notes na 'yun. Nalulungkot sila kapag wala yung notes, so naba-validate naman 'yung puso ng pagiging nanay, na ay okay, meron palang napupuntahan 'yung pagising ko sa umaga. Kahit dumadami na yung wrinkles ko at lumalim na ang eye bags ko, okay lang naman basta para sa pamilya.”
