One of the ways I stay sane as a mother of two young children is to sometimes stop whatever it is I think I "need" to be doing-- laundry, meal prep, etc.-- and just have FUN with my kids.
My favorite way to have fun with them is to turn on some country music and let loose! I love it when we can all dance around together and sing along, if even just for 5 minutes.
I am always happier at the end of a long day with young children if I have taken time to be silly with them.
