London, Mar 14 (IANS): Singer-actress Jennifer Lopez, who has two-year-old twins with husband Marc Anthony says, her family is the most important thing in her life.

"For me, my family is the most important thing and everything else comes after that. It is hard to do everything, but you just have to. You have to make that effort. I have put so much time into my career in the past, so much time trying to get ahead and all that. But you have to do as much and then more for your home life too," contactmusic.com quoted her as saying.

The 40-year-old who will be seen in the romantic comedy "The Back-Up Plan" admits she is still on a "learning curve" as a mother.

"I try to spend all my free time with Marc and the babies. It's all a learning curve really. The last year has been an amazing time for us, me and Marc. I just wish I could be in two places at once. I would rather be at home now with my babies if I could be," she added.
