Jessica Alba with daughter Haven

Jessica Alba feels like she's constantly being "pulled in 20 different directions."

The 'Sin City' actress, who has daughters, Haven, six, and Honor, three, with husband Cash Warren, says being a mother is her "priority," but it's "impossible" for her to balance them with her acting career and eco-friendly brand, The Honest Company.

The 33-year-old star said: "I feel like I'm pulled in 20 different directions [at all times].

"It can be really long days. When I'm home after I've put the kids to bed I'm still going. When you're running a company there is no nine to five. It's like a 24/7 [job]."

Jessica thinks her daughters are growing up too quickly and is glad Haven isn't ready to move out of her crib yet.

She told PEOPLE.com: "Oh my God, she loves her crib. She wants sleepovers because her sister has sleepovers so I try to do sleepovers with Mom. She says, 'Okay Mommy, I'm done. I need to go back to my crib now.' She's so restless -- she wants to talk so she's super into her crib. It's really cute and I'm like, 'Yes, stay a baby forever.'

"[Being a mom is] my priority. I feel like they're growing up too fast, and I want to freeze them in time. I don't think that's going to happen because every day they're just getting taller and sometimes more sassy."

The brunette beauty admits she wouldn't be able to do it all without a strong support system, including her best friend Kelly Sawyer.

She said: "It really helps to have someone who has your back when we're going through our own trials and tribulations."
