🎯 Part-Time Womenpreneur? Here’s How to Make Money from Home This December Without Missing the Magic

It’s the season of twinkling lights, sugar cookie chaos, peppermint mochas, and... mental overload. Between school concerts, last-minute Amazon orders, and juggling family dinners, December often feels like a sprint to the finish line.

But what if we paused for a moment.. just one moment.. to breathe?

As part-time womenpreneurs, we carry a lot: the mental load of motherhood, the responsibilities of caregiving, the pressure to keep up with social media, and the deep desire to make money from home without losing ourselves in the process.

I know the weight of that desire. I know "stretched so thin I could snap", the ache of trying to balance ambition, goals with energy and soaking up the blessings of these special holiday moments.

So today, I want to offer you more than just a checklist that you've likely seen before.. Because this season, it's not about doing more... it's about doing what matters most, with peace, the "reason for the season" and profit in mind.

🎯 Tip #1: Master the Gentle Art of Saying “No”

Let’s admit it.. saying “no” can feel uncomfortable, especially when you’re wired to show up for everyone, a past people pleasing "yes" girl like me!

But during the holidays, boundaries aren’t optional.. they’re our lifeline. And when we're trying to make extra money from home or stay consistent with digital content creation, social media ping's on your phone, we can't afford to pour from an empty mug.

This is Tip Number One because .. if we can't find a way to say "no"; we are the ones who suffer the most with the yes!

💬 Mini-story moment: Last Christmas holiday, I got invited to three Christmas cookie exchanges in one week. One year ago, I would have gone to all three, baked 90 snickerdoodle spied cookies, and smiled through the exhaustion. But this time, I paused and replied, "I’d love to join, but I’m almost running flat out as it is.. I've stepped back this week prioritizing quiet time with my family." That tiny sentence was powerful. It gave me breathing room.. and reminded me that I’m allowed to protect my peace.

✨ Gentle boundary scripts:

• “Let me check my calendar and get back to you.”
• “That sounds fun, but this week’s already full.”
• “I appreciate the invite, but I’m unplugging to rest. Thank you for thinking of me!”

Saying “no” isn’t selfish.. it’s self-honoring.

🍪 Tip #2: Prioritize Like a Business Woman in a Gingerbread Apron

You’re juggling Santa's wish lists, tree trimming, stocking stuffers, and client emails. If that doesn’t require strategy, I don’t know what does.

You don’t need a new 40-page planner. Just 15 intentional minutes to block your week can change everything.

🎄 Here’s how I set my schedule:

• Use visual tools: I stick post-its on my fridge labeled with “family,” “me,” and “income-producing.”
• Color-code time blocks: Red = non-negotiable family time. Green = business building. Yellow = errands or flex time.
• Communicate your rhythm: I tell my husband, “I’m working for one hour right now so I can be fully present at dinner.” That simple sentence sets the tone.

📌 Sunday Reset Ritual: Light a Christmas pine-scented candle. Turn on soft instrumental Christmas holiday music. Take 10 minutes to ask, “What do I need this week to feel calm, supported, and focused?”

Then schedule that first.

📚 PS .. If you are a "planner" girl grab my favorite: Self Care Planner For Every Boss Girl is your go-to tool for balancing ambition with well-being. With 43 pages packed with actionable strategies and organized templates, this planner helps you prioritize your mental, emotional, and physical health.. without sacrificing your dreams.

💻 Tip #3: Never Sit at Your Desk Without a Plan (or Peppermint Mocha)

Let’s be honest.. some mornings we open the laptop and poof! There goes an hour to Canva, coffee refills, and comparison doom scrolling.

Instead, try this:

✨ The 3-Minute Morning Map:

1. List 3 income-producing actions: A blog draft, pin design, or message reply.
2. Set a 25-minute timer. (I call it my “cookie batch hustle.”)
3. Reward yourself with a quick stretch or fresh mug of peppermint spiced tea.

📌 Roxanne’s truth: If I sit down without a plan, I spiral into busywork. But if I write 3 clear tasks the night before and open my laptop with purpose, I finish faster.. and feel better. That’s how I keep making money from home without feeling like I’m “always on.”

PS — Need a little help getting that brain in gear?
I’ve been loving this 7-mushroom blend brain booster tea. Packed with Reishi & Lion’s Mane, it helps me cage the squirrels, wrangle the ducks, and actually focus on what matters. 👉 Grab a mug here & give your mindset a boost.

🌟 Tip #4: Create a 10-Minute Evening Reset Ritual

At the end of the day, our minds feel like tangled tinsel.

Instead of carrying that chaos to bed, create a ritual that clears the clutter.

🕯️ My ritual includes:

• Lighting my favorite cinnamon candle (or gaze at your favorite ornaments)
• Writing one sentence in my journal: “What worked today?”
• Listing tomorrow’s top 2 tasks.. just two.

📌 Why it matters: When we end our day intentionally, we rest better. Our minds can rest as we can assure ourselves we won't forget important details of our tomorrow all the while being able to give ourselves a high five for what we did achieve today! And a rested woman? She’s unstoppable.

🔥 Bonus Tip: Use the 80/20 Rule with Glittery Intention

You know this one, but it hits different in December.

20% of your actions create 80% of your results. So instead of trying to do everything.. focus on the few things that actually move your income forward.

🎯 It's why I really l began to lean into Digital Marketing for Beginners .. With 100% profits, it enabled me to create greater income and impact in less time in my day .. Want to make money from home while protecting your peace? Identify your top two income tasks and lead with those.

For me, it’s:

• Posting a blog or pin
• Connecting with a lead or follower
• Craft your short form video (Reel) pop it over to TikTok, YouTube and your social stories. Make that one piece of content "work for you". Take that YouTube and pin it on Pinterest too! Create a Pin and have that link to your YouTube short. That one video is now reaching out in nine different places, creating conversations, connections and yes conversions in your money maker, online business.

Everything else is bonus glitter.

🎄 Stress-Busters for the Holiday Hustle

We don’t need more to-do lists. We need more being moments.

Try these:

• Step outside, go for a short walk and feel the snow (or December rain!)
• Gaze into the milky soft December sun, wrap your hands around a spicy mug of cinnamon spiced tea.(or my relaxing herbal mushroom blend that brings peace in a cup!)
• Diffuse clove oil or peppermint in your workspace (My mom taught me to drop just one drop down my heat register to scent the whole room.)
• Play your favorite Christmas jazz quietly while you work or crank up the sound of your favorite Christmas albums and rock it around the Christmas tree!
• Do some Amy Cuddy Power Poses .. here on her Ted Talk! This is some ultra powerful stuff to raise good energy and put focus where we need it in our day.

And don't disregard the power of a long soak in your bathtub 🛁or shower with your favorite scrubbie.. That simple thing of closing the bathroom door has the ability to shut the whole world out for a bit of time..

📝 December Journal Prompts for Womenpreneurs

Let’s bring our heart into the season:

• What does peaceful success look like for me this month?
• What traditions bring me joy.. and which drain me?
• Where can I create space to earn money from home and be present?

💖 My Christmas Turning Point

There was a time I tried to “do it all.” Bake the cookies, host the dinners, post the reels, send the DM's... maybe it was the Holiday season; maybe it was reflecting of how my year of making money at home had went.. Maybe it was a bit of the winter blues.. But Digital Marketing for beginners caught my eye on a late night scroll..

It grabbed my attention with "work less" and make more.. 100% commission sounded nice vs the 36% I was getting paid in my other affiliate marketing side gig. Because .. I was feeling invisible, exhausted, and behind in everything including my bills knowing that most of Christmas was on my credit card.

That’s when I said, “Somethings gotta change and it's ok for me to want more."

More time. More bliss. More bless. and Yes, more impact and income.

I simplified and streamlined. I chose to make money from home on my terms with more peace and profits.
