South Louisiana, specifically Baton Rouge (and surrounding areas) and Lafayette, have been devastated by the recent flooding. In an effort to share the most up to date information for our Red Stick Mom Blog readers, we’ve compiled this list of resources and information to help Louisiana flood victims. We’ll keep it as updated as possible in the coming days – please leave a comment if you know of any drop off or donation opportunities that are missing. Many families in South Louisiana have lost absolutely everything, and the need for help and service will last for a while. All contributions of all sizes will make a positive impact on those who are suffering right now.

You've covered every recipe tagged as "easy" or "quick" on Pinterest and asked the internet world for suggestions with the select list of items you already have on hand in the pantry. Maybe it's late in the afternoon and you haven't been to the grocery in days. Or perhaps you just want to pretend your kitchen is always this clean... "Let's go out for dinner!" you say. Visit one of these restaurants around town that offer kids eat free nights or kids specials!
We update this post as needed. Thank you for your comments and suggestions.

Sometimes Mom and Dad just need a date night! But finding a sitter can be difficult and expensive. Enter the beauty of Parents' Night Out (PNO) programs. Churches and local businesses put on a fun evening for kids (and often feed them, too) so that kids actually want to go to PNO, and parents get to enjoy a childfree night out on the town. To help make it easier for you to plan your next date night, I've put together this list of organizations in the Baton Rouge area that offer Parents' Night Out programs.

Baton Rouge and traffic go together like peanut butter and jelly. Everyone in the Red Stick is used to "stuck in traffic" as an acceptable excuse for tardiness. So next time you're stuck waiting through the same light for the 5th time, enjoy this post. We know you can relate.
I recently spent a 'First Sunday' checking out the Louisiana Art & Science Museum with our family and some friends. It was the perfect opportunity to experience the museum for the first time since I wasn't sure how much my son would participate (He's only one!). Every 'First Sunday' of the month the Louisiana Art & Science Museum, U.S.S. Kidd, and LSU Museum of Art provide free and reduced price admission to their facilities. We all had a blast that day and it got me thinking of other activities I can take us to experience throughout downtown Baton Rouge. Even if you don't make it on a 'First Sunday', many of the activities are free or reasonably priced -...
