I am a mom of four small kids. We like to do family activities on the weekends. It's nice to get out of the house and do things without breaking the bank for a family of six. We like to be outdoors. It gives our kids plenty of room to burn energy and we don't have to worry about them breaking anything. If you know, you know. So, I have comprised a list of things we do near our house.
Central Sports Park
This park is a BREC park off Hooper Road, you can also access it from Lovett Road. It has a playground with something for all ages. We also love that it has a pond that you can fish...
Have you ever driven down Bluebonnet Boulevard all the way until it ends? Bluebonnet turns into Coursey then George O'Neal and at the very end of an unassuming road is, in my opinion, a little tiny slice of Heaven on Earth. Here you will find the home of the Cypress Springs Mercedarian Prayer Center. More famously, here is the home of Sister Dulce, our local healing nun.
Who is Sister Dulce?
Sister Dulce is a well sought out nun and healer. From near and far, people travel to the prayer center for hope, healing, and to find peace during times of great turmoil. The mission of Cypress Springs reads as follows: To offer a place of healing and evangelization where God's...

Coaching and motherhood are a lot alike. There are so many things that go on behind the scenes that people don’t know about. The long hours, the stress, the time management, the worry, I could go on and on. There is such a lack of appreciation. In both, there is so much judgment, from people that have no idea what they are talking about. You deal with Facebook / couch coaches that judge you for every decision you make. They’ve never been a coach, some (and by some, I mean most) of them have not even played the game before. Same goes with motherhood, everyone has their opinions (most of which are unsolicited). They sit and watch (judge) from...
At Red Stick Mom, we are on a journey to continuously learn about the importance of supporting our neighbors in marginalized communities where disparity is far too prevalent, specifically in the black community. We’ve been happy to share in supporting various black-owned local businesses and are having conversations with our kids about race. We want to continue to show support which is why are highlighting local organizations who are working diligently to serve our neighbors of color in the Greater Baton Rouge area. Our hope is to raise awareness about the great work they are already doing and share it with others. We are excited to put the spotlight on an amazing non-profit organization, the Baton Rouge Youth Coalition.
