said. "My days off look like homework, reading, and watching stuff. Just hanging out, doing things we love to do."

Washington adores her children as they teach her to be a better mother and person every day. "I'm in a constant state of learning and challenging myself," she revealed about motherhood.
Having offspring also brought out the three-time Emmy winner's humorous side, which helped a lot when she was cast on "SNL."

"I think something about being a mom has made me let go even more of ideas of perfectionism," she shared. "Like when you're pregnant, you're just not in control of anything."
KEEPING THE KIDS AWAY FROM THE LIMELIGHT
It is no secret that the Hollywood star is keeping her children away from the public eye, which is noticeable through her social media accounts that have no photos of her kids.
The mother-of-three makes it a point to be careful while raising her kids because of her high-profile job. According to Washington, she and her husband don't intend to hide them from the world.

Instead, they are protecting them from being "exploited," especially on social media. While this can get difficult at times, Washington holds back and shares photos of them with her parents instead.
GETTING TO KNOW ASOMUGHA
Washington's husband is also a family man, who was once a three-time Pro Bowl star for the Oakland Raiders. Apart from his athletic career, Asomugha has also appeared onscreen.

Among the acting credits on his resume are "The Game," "Leverage," and "Friday Night Lights." Another thing he shares with his wife is his philanthropic acts.
Since 2009, Asomugha has taken part in the Clinton Global Initiative, and the year after, he launched the Asomugha Foundation to aid unprivileged youth in America and orphans and widows in Africa.
The actor's kind heart and initiative gained him recognition over the years, including the NFL Players Association's Man of the Year Award, the President's Volunteer Service Award, and the Jefferson Award for Public Service.
His wife is also a philanthropist who is the ambassador of Allstate Purple Purse, an organization that gives financial aid to victims of financial and domestic abuse.
She is also an active supporter of the Woman's Cancer Programs of the Entertainment Industry Foundation and the Until The Violence Stops: NYC.
