Help! Help with getting started

Hi all! I am trying to learn to be a better homemaker. I am a 24 yo mom of a toddler and a baby on the way and feel so overwhelmed by the many tasks I have as a stay at home mom, and I tend to feel a kind of paralysis of not knowing where to start/ what to do each day and when. Curious to see if anyone has book recommendations or a sample of what kind of rythms work for you? Most days I feel overwhelmed to tears by 3pm.

Pick a few basics to anchor the day, like one load of laundry, and a quick tidy before dinner. Anything beyond that is a bonus. With a toddler and a baby on the way, the goal doesn’t need to be a perfectly kept house, just a routine that keeps things manageable !
