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.

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.

Hi! I’m a Carpool Mom! The joyride of carpooling! My trusty car, aka the "Snuggle Wagon," is where the magic happens. I’ll take quality time where I can get it. Buckle up, kids!  As we hit the road, we play our favorite game, "Guess the Song." Jack, my third-grade math whiz, sings along to Taylor Swift at the top of his lungs, while Jacob, my kindergarten artist, giggles uncontrollably to "The Wheels on the Bus." I love watching them let loose and have fun. Snuggled up with blankets and munching on snacks, we take a moment to boost each other up. I remind Jack that he's an amazing math problem-solver and that Jacob is a brave and creative artist. They beam with pride,...
Chee Chee's Playroom :: A Must Visit Near Prairieville As summer was coming to a close and we were gearing up for our first, first day of school I was looking for a party venue for my oldest. We had been to parties at so many places in Baton Rouge and had great times at all of them.

It was, well, challenging to sift through those results and honestly, I'm not sure how I even came upon Chee Chee's, but I'm so glad I did! It was July and we needed...
Roommate Phase Much? After dinner finishes, we put on our imaginative jerseys and get to work with our common goal - bedtime. GO TEAM! The kitchen chair has saucy Tikka Masala handprints and there’s rice peppering the floor. My son throws the spoon of squash purée for the fifth time. The floor is a canvas, creative and colorful. One we will wipe clean every night. The artists are unruly and playful all in one tiny body. Grab the little people before they carry the mess to another part of the house. Bath time makes a referee of me: “No splashing!” “That’s a foul!" “Don’t snatch toys!” “One more move like that and you’re ejected!” How are the dishes already spilling out of the sink? One of us tackles that corner of the...
