I believe the key to living a happy life is balance. Some days I'm better at the balancing act than others! I blog about the days when I'm teetering on the edge of sanity while working part-time and at home, while raising three girls.
Do what you can, but remember you can't do it all. Prioritize.

Parenting advice I follow:
Hmmm. I don't believe in extremes, so I don't think I "always" do anything! However, I frequently reread the poem "If I Had My Child to Raise Over Again" by Diane Loomans that I have on the fridge, and as she says I try to "finger paint more, and point the finger less."
Parenting advice I ignore:
At mealtime, "children should clean their plates." No!!!!

It's tough to pick just one! I love it when we all cuddle in bed and my hubby reads aloud to us.
