Hilary Duff loves being a mom and the busyness that comes with it 

Speaking to People in 2021, Duff said she loves the “mayhem” of raising three kids.

“I have help, but babies just want their mom. Even Luca is still like, ‘Mom, Mom, Mom.’ Mom cooks the thing the right way, and Mom packs the bag the right way. It’s crazy,” said the Lizzie McGuire actress, before adding, “I love when everyone’s full of energy and the house is buzzing. You never know what the day is going to bring or what your kid’s going to say. We’re in the thick of it, and it feels good.”
