Routine

I now have a 1.5 and 2.5, but the best thing that really helped me is a weekly house chores schedule where I am focused on only one room a day so I can have more time to spend with them instead of cleaning the whole house every day. Also going out helps me connect with them more, we go to playgroups, to parks, we have pic nics, shopping as well. I found it easier in summer because you can just go to an open field and just put a blanket down and leave them running about!
Asked heal baby care app and sharing in case it helps: "It sounds like you're feeling overwhelmed, and that's completely understandable with two young children. Establishing a routine can help create a sense of structure and allow for more quality time with your girls. I recommend starting with a simple daily schedule that includes dedicated playtime, feeding times, and household chores. For activities with your 2-year-old, consider simple things like reading together, playing with blocks, or doing arts and crafts. You can also involve her in age-appropriate chores, which can be fun and help her feel included. What specific challenges do you face when trying to balance chores and spending time with your children?"
The chores can wait. Or hire help. The kids are only little once. It seems like you're trying to be perfect super mom and it's okay for everything to not be perfect all the time. Take a breather and take 10 mins to yourself to sit and do nothing. You can't fill from an empty cup. De clutter if you feel like it's never ending. Having less feels like more.
You're doing great. Try to relax and take a break you deserve it mama
I am in the same situation! My days are based on my youngest 40m naps throughout the day. We only leave the house when my husband comes from work, on Tuesdays and Thursdays we barely live the house bc he works full day. I try to play with my oldest for a couple of minutes when my daughter takes the first nap, second nap I cook, I read to him if I am feeding her, and truly I know this is the busiest season so I just try to do the best that I can.
