Eva Mendes seems to be soaking up every minute she has with her daughters as the second semester of school rolls around.

Though notoriously private when it comes to her personal life and her daughters with Ryan Gosling, the star gave fans some insight into what she does to keep both herself and her daughters entertained.

Eva and Ryan have two daughters together, Esmeralda Amada, eight, and Amada Lee, six. The couple has been together since 2011, and though the actress has previously referenced Ryan as her husband, the two have never confirmed any marriage reports.

The mother-of-two took to Instagram following the long weekend to give a rare but sweet update on life as a mother-of-two, revealing that one of her and her girls' favorites activities to do together is going to watch a ballet.

She shared a black-and-white clip of herself in which a voice-over says: "Okay let me tell you what. This one, this is my favorite, Wait, wait, wait, this one, that's it. No, no, hold on, this is my favorite."

"This is great to do. Opening your children to culture," one fan wrote, as others gushed: "My happy place is following smart people like you," and: "Sounds wonderful," as well as: "Memories in the making."
