In and Around Baton Rouge

in and around Baton Rouge With Kids

Baton Rouge is a big place that offers both the fun of a college campus (Geaux Tigers) and the amenities of a city. There’s a lot to see in and around Baton Rouge. Even if you’ve lived here all your life, there’s still a lot to discover in Louisiana’s capital.

If you’re leaving the house, there’s a good bet that Red Stick Mom has your activity covered, from indoor playgrounds to parks to restaurants to the events that everyone in Baton Rouge is talking about.

At Red Stick Mom, we have family fun in Baton Rouge for all seasons covered, as well as creative ideas for every member of the family. Our team of more than 25 Baton Rouge moms is always looking for activities, events, and inspiration for everything from how to host the perfect Baton Rouge birthday party for kids to hidden gems in Baton Rouge.

Each year, we publish an extensive list of summer camps options in and around Baton Rouge, keeping you informed about all of the best childcare choices for your Baton Rouge family. We’ve got an eye on the local Baton Rouge schools, helping parents make the best decision for their students. We’ll even help you find the best swim lessons in Baton Rouge.

Our writers live in and around Baton Rouge, so we’ve got a lot of experience finding the best things about living in Baton Rouge with kids. We’ve made it through countless weather events like the 2016 floods together and will always connect Baton Rouge moms to one another for assistance and support.

We know that living in Baton Rouge means choosing from a variety of neighborhoods and lifestyles, and we are here for it all. No matter where you live in Baton Rouge, and no matter where your kids go to school in Baton Rouge … Red Stick Mom is here to make life in Baton Rouge with kids easier and more fun!

Disclosure :: Costco was our gracious host and sponsor for this event. We are thrilled for the opportunity to work with them!  Nearly 200 Red Stick Mom Blog readers, many with their cute kiddos in tow, came out for the 2nd Annual Costco MomHour! The event was held at our local Costco on Friday, November 4th as part of a nationwide event between Costco and City Blog Moms Network (CMBN). In addition to shopping an hour earlier than normal hours, guests were treated to delicious breakfast items, samples, fun swag and of course coffee. Many of those attending MomHour were non-members who were coming to check out Costco for the first time and see what all the fuss was about. By the time the event...
It's important to know when an opportunity for something great is available and as a good friend to you, I want to make sure you know about it before it's OVER! If you're interested in the Magnet School Program in East Baton Rouge Parish for your child that will be school-age in the fall of 2017, you've got a few, short weeks to get those applications in! My oldest is in first grade at one of the Magnet schools in EBRP and we LOVE it. We went through this application process two years ago. My husband and I are products of the Magnet Program, having both graduated from Baton Rouge Magnet High School. It was an experience we still treasure...

Who doesn't love a t-shirt? Who doesn't love a t-shirt that also gives back? Ever since relief and recovery began, you've probably seen scores of inspirational t-shirt designs attached to charities flooding your newsfeed (pun not intended, but it works). As a mom whose wardrobe consists of mainly t-shirts (casual and formal, of course), I love this idea! It's a wonderful way not only to show your support of Louisiana and those affected by this disaster, but you also put a little money into the pockets of organizations and victims who need your support. Win-win! But with soooo many designs out there the choices are a bit overwhelming, so we've compiled a list (in no particular order) of the raddest designs...
