moms in Baton Rouge

As Baton Rouge moms, we know what it takes to keep a household running, and we understand that motherhood is hard. There’s always a ton to do and never enough time to get everything done! Sometimes us moms need a quick fix or advice from other moms on how to save time. Just like you, Red Stick Mom writers are always open to a more efficient way to handle things and willingly share their best mom hacks, tips and tricks when they find them.

Here at Red Stick Mom, we offer dozens of ideas from diverse perspectives in our mom hacks, tips and tricks category. From taking road trips from Baton Rouge to meatless meals to natural cold remedies, we’ve written about it. 

Curious how to freshen up your skin routine? We suggest you try slugging. Looking for a faster way to fix your hair? Try the lazy mom’s guide to hair. Wondering if there’s a better way to cook bacon? Try this mom hack for cooking the best bacon ever and thank us later. What’s motherhood without perfecting your bacon, are we right? That’s the kind of content our Mom hacks, tips and tricks section highlights. 

That said, not all of Red Stick Mom’s mom hacks, tips and tricks are about fixing food or mom’s self care. Maybe you are looking for a better way to store your family’s precious photo memories. Have you ever wondered what to do with the cupcakes that your kids inevitably didn’t finish? You haven’t really lived until you’ve tried “recycle cake.” We even get intimate with other topics like why every mom should try period panties and the value of a nursing cart when there’s a newborn in your home.

Our writing team of 25+ local Baton Rouge moms really work hard to ensure that local parents benefit from our tried and true mom hacks, tips and tricks. Our goal is to make living in Baton Rouge with kids – and motherhood overall – easier and more fun, and we’re here to share what we know! 

The Non-Neuro-Typical Lonesome Blues My blood pressure used to be on the low side. Any time I saw a new doctor, they mentioned it as a concern. (I'm talking 100 over 56, maybe 60.) But then I had kids. I would add "LOL" because I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in this change of medical tendency … but I don't feel like laughing, out loud or otherwise. My younger son has Down syndrome. Since he has been in the school system, my blood pressure rests somewhere around 140 over 106 on a regular basis. "It's borderline," the doctors tell me, "just a little on the high side" – but they don't know what it used to be, or what this...
Disney World and Young Kids :: Tips and Tricks Any vacation or trip with young kids can be challenging. Taking preschoolers or younger to Disney World is a totally different ballgame. We recently took our 2 and 5 year old to Disney World. It was a more laid back adventure and we went in without much of a plan. Here are some of the things we learned as we planned and experienced Disney. There are some great benefits to taking the kids when they're younger: under 3 years old they get in for free, they don't know what to expect, so in turn they don't know what they're missing. Typically, younger kids aren't tall enough for the "most popular" rides, so...

It's Christmas Already Well Ladies, I am excited that Christmas is here! I am a New Years Girl, born on January 1st and for me, this is time where I freely express my love, sentimental feelings, goofy dancing and giving without apologies. Now don't mistake me, because I freely do this already, but for some unknown reason people don't fully receive and accept my joyous goofy love, random dancing celebrating them and cheerful giving other times of the year. It's like people have become robots, busy in life emotionless, impatient and rude to the point they think less and less about love, laughter, fun, and giving. I know its November, but for me Christmas started November 1st. I grew up in a...

Gift Guide for Kids Under 5

Disclosure :: this post contains affiliate links. Gift Guide for Kids Under 5 I love giving gifts. It brings me joy to see others delight in a gift I (my kids) have given. The only problem I had was that I didn’t always know what to get for little kids. What do I get my cousin’s one year old? My BFFs kid is turning 2, does she really want this loud, bright blinking toy that is “recommended.” We have a classmate party coming what should I get a 4 year old?
