Thank you for helping me to be less envious of people with older kids. I am at the overwhelming stage where I didn’t have a spare second for myself. I was on my feet almost all day, feeding hungry kids, playing, keeping them happy, putting them to nap, taking them on trips etc. It was so hard not to feel connected enough to Hashem and the chag of Pesach but that is because I am more spiritual personality. Each person enjoys different things – depending on personality. Some people like being more holy, others like reading, socializing, meditation as someone mentioned. Maybe now is the time to figure out what you like and do it in the spirit of Yom Tov as much as you can. I love reading so read the book “let my nation go” just for a few minutes here and there or at 1am when falling asleep in my bed really inspired me! I am still reading it and getting inspired after Yom Tov, to actually recover from all that hard work! good luck!
