Hilaria Baldwin isn't a fan of too much screen time.

Speaking with Vogue, the entrepreneur, 40, shared a day in her life as a mom of seven, beginning at 5 a.m. and ending around 8:30 p.m. As she discussed what her kids do after school, Hilaria noted that she doesn't love having her kids on screens, instead preferring to have them complete creative activities.

"Screen time is such a battle for parents these days and I'm grateful for activities that bring out their creativity," Hilaria said. "Watching them with their little conversations together warms my heart."

"Fostering their closeness is one of my main focuses in being their mother. I hope they will always be lifelong best friends."

Hilaria shares her seven kids — Carmen, 11, Rafael Thomas, 9, Leonardo Ángel Charles, 7, Romeo Alejandro David, 6, Eduardo "Edu" Pao Lucas, 3, María Lucía Victoria, 3, and Ilaria Catalina Irena, 23 months, with husband Alec Baldwin, 66. The actor is also dad to daughter Ireland, 28.

In June, both Hilaria and Alec shared Instagram posts as their family celebrated Father's Day together.

"Happy Father’s Day!!!" Hilaria wrote on Instagram beneath a video of their kids waking up Alec from a mid-day snooze. In the clip, the children playfully hit him with stuffed animals while the comedian buried himself in the couch cushions.

"Accidentally let the kids into the room he was napping in (yet it was so circus epic that I stayed to film 😈)….hope all you other dads got to finish your naps 🥴," Hilaria continued.

Hilaria signed off her post with: "Much love papas❤️."

The 30 Rock alum also posted on Instagram, sharing several photos of his kids. "Happy Father’s Day to the dads out there," he wrote.

In May, Alec appeared on a recent episode of the Our Way with Paul Anka and Skip Bronson podcast and spoke with Paul Anka and Skip Bronson about whether he plans to grow his family.

"I'm the only person I know who drops four kids off at school in the morning and comes home and I still have three kids waiting for me when I get home," Baldwin teased on the podcast.

Anka then asked if Alec and his wife would have more kids.

"Oh man, how dare you ask me that question," the star said with a laugh. "I think I'm done."

"I found that as I got older, work became less interesting to me. I'm interested, you know, I wanna work and I like to work. But they just don't make that many films anymore that I think are interesting," Baldwin continued. "Plus, we're all older. Whatever I've done in the past, I try not to be duplicative of that."

"Then all of a sudden I met my wife, who I love dearly. And every time the [youngest] baby would get to be 2 years old, we go, 'Maybe it's time for one more baby — just one more baby…' So we have seven kids."
