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.

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.

Happy Halloween :: Our Family’s Spook-tacular Celebration Halloween in our household is a whirlwind of excitement, anxiety, and Pokémon-themed everything! My tiny Pokémon trainers, Jack and Jacob, are bursting with anticipation. This year, we're going full-on Pokémon – costumes, pumpkins, and all. I hope you can find us. I'm a nervous wreck, though. Jacob's convinced his wings will actually make him fly. He said he can’t wait to wear his costume (bathroom-friendly) to school and fly off after recess.

For my husband, Casey, and I, the date marked the end of 36 weeks of waiting to meet our child. We decided not to find out our baby’s gender before the birth—I’ll never forget hearing my husband yell out “It’s a boy!” when our when our Carter Keith came into the world.

As a parent, I want to ensure they develop informed opinions and critical thinking skills.
