We have got through another week somehow I have not been able to sit and write this until today. Which means it is time for my weekly round up post Ramblings Of A StressedMum – 29/05/2026. I did start writing this post on Wednesday, just did not have the chance to finish until today. My Week Health It has been another week of various health issues. Yesterday, I had my appointment with my Dr regarding my recent blood test results. He increased one of my medications, and I am starting a new course which will hopefully work and have me…

Digital wallets, QR code payments, and instant transfers are no longer novelties. They are now an integral part of daily life. Yet, despite these modern conveniences, many Filipinos still maintain passbook savings accounts. At first glance, this may seem old-fashioned. But the enduring appeal of passbooks lies in their security, simplicity, and reliability. However, while this reliability is valuable, it can also be limiting if you rely on a passbook exclusively. On the flip side, fully digital banking gives you speed and convenience. But it may lack the long-term clarity of a physical record. Fortunately, with a little planning, you…

How one desperate Google search led me to the sleep hack I wish I’d known from the start. The Night Everything Changed I found white noise the way most parents find anything useful – at three in the morning, one eye open, frantically scrolling my phone while my baby screamed into the darkness like a tiny, furious alarm clock with no off button. My husband was doing that thing where he pretends to sleep but is clearly awake, breathing far too deliberately. The cat had long since abandoned the upstairs entirely. And I was sitting in the nursing chair, cold…

Here we are somehow at Wednesday again, which means that it is time for my weekly round up post Ramblings Of A StressedMum – 20/06/2026. Honestly, I can not believe it has been a week since my last update. My Week Health Last week I shared about how my blood test results and how they had come back not great. I have been called in for an appointment with the senior GP at my surgery. I know stress is a huge factor in why my results are so high. But honestly, at the moment I am facing a constant battle…

Modern life moves fast. Between work pressures, endless notifications, packed schedules, and daily responsibilities, it can feel difficult to slow down and focus on personal wellbeing. Yet, healthy habits have never been more important. The small choices people make every day can have a huge impact on physical health, mental wellbeing, energy levels, and long-term quality of life. Creating healthier routines is not about perfection. It is about building sustainable habits that support a happier and more balanced lifestyle over time. The Modern Lifestyle Challenge Many people spend long hours sitting at desks, looking at screens, or rushing from one…

Here we are stumbling into another Wednesday, where somehow I have got through another week. This means it is time for my weekly Ramblings Of A StressedMum – 13/05/2026. I know I have been quiet and barely around but I seem to be living in hospitals at the moment. My Week Health Last week I had my diabetic health check and the results are coming in.

Yesterday, I could not get my head around the fact it was Tuesday. For me yesterday was Monday and poor C had to keep correcting me. So when I woke this morning, I actually did know it was Wednesday. This means it is time for my Ramblings Of A StressedMum – 06/05/2026. My Week Grief I have struggled so much lately, but this last week with everything going on it has been hard. I literally shouted and broke down to my Mum that I am at breaking point. Last year I had to deal with a lot of grief from…

Parenting asks a lot from a person. It asks for patience when you are tired, calm when the house feels chaotic, and emotional presence even when your mind is already full. That is part of why self-care often gets pushed aside. Many parents treat their own needs as optional, something to get to later, after everything else is done. The problem is that later rarely comes. Mindful parenting starts with recognizing that your well-being affects how you show up for your family. When you are constantly running on stress, exhaustion, or discomfort, it becomes harder to respond with patience, focus,…
