How to Work from Home as a Mum Without Losing Your Mind

If you’re trying to work from home as a mum, you’re probably familiar with the chaos that comes with it—kids shouting “mum” every 2 minutes and “mum can I have” is endless.

"The perfect opportunity Backed by Sara Davies of Dragons’ Den"

Working from home as a mum can be stressful, although it doesn’t have to be….

Here’s the truth: you can work from home and keep your sanity intact. The key is finding an opportunity that not only brings in income but also fits around the unpredictable reality of mum life.

Whether you’re doing it to support your family, regain financial independence, or have something that’s just for you, this guide is here to help you make it work—without burning out or giving up.

Why More Mums Are Working from Home

The world has changed, and so have job opportunities. For many mums, the idea of a traditional 9-to-5 just doesn’t work anymore.

Here’s why working from home is becoming the go-to solution:

✔️ No commute – more time with your kids, less time in traffic.
✔️ Flexible schedule – work during nap times, after bedtime, or during school hours.
✔️ Save on childcare – eliminate one of the biggest costs families face.
✔️ Mental stimulation and self-worth – do something that’s yours.
✔️ Control over your income – work as much or as little as you want.

But while the benefits are clear, the reality is… it’s still hard. That’s why having the right system, mindset, and job matters so much.

The Reality of Working from Home as a Mum

You probably imagined working from home as sipping coffee in your dressing gown while sending emails and raking in cash. Then your toddler emptied the cereal box onto your laptop.

Working from home as a mum is not about perfection. It’s about permission—giving yourself grace to do your best in both roles.

Common challenges mums face:

❌ Constant interruptions
❌ Feeling guilty (for working OR not working enough)
❌ Lack of structure
❌ Isolation
❌ Unclear expectations from yourself or your family

The solution? A flexible, low-pressure work opportunity that fits around you.

“I started Avon when I was on maternity leave with baby #2. I was feeling lost, overwhelmed, and broke. A friend suggested I give it a try, and I’ve never looked back. Now I earn enough to cover the bills, I feel like ME again, and my kids love helping me pick out products!”

Top Tips to Stay Sane While Working from Home as a Mum

Here are some tried-and-tested strategies from real Avon mums to help you balance business and babies:

1. Time Block the “Pockets” of Your Day

Use 10–20 minute pockets of time throughout the day. Post on social in the morning, message customers during lunch, check orders in the evening.

2. Let Go of Guilt

Remind yourself: you’re showing your children what it looks like to be determined, resourceful, and independent.

3. Make It Part of Your Routine

Work it into your daily rhythm. For example:

  • Mondays = Share a product

  • Wednesdays = Check in with customers

  • Fridays = Plan next week

4. Get the Kids Involved

Let them help pack orders, choose product colours, or stick labels. Make it a family thing.

5. Celebrate Every Win

Made your first sale? Shared your first post? Celebrate it! Little wins turn into big confidence.
