What advice would I give to my younger self?

Aww, napaka-real ng advice na yan! For me, I'd tell my younger self na hindi kailangan mag-perfect, like, my firstborn's milestones didn't match the books, my second one got sick kahit gaano ko sila ingatan, and honestly, some days I just fed them chicken nuggets for dinner, haha. A few of my mum friends and I always say the same thing: the messy, chaotic days are actually the ones we miss the most now, so enjoy the madness instead of stressing about doing everything "right" para sa kids. The love, the patience, the sacrifices, lahat yun ay talagang sulit in the end, exactly like you said!
