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! 

I am by no means a private person. In fact, most would say I'm a pretty open book. Talking is one of my favorite past times, and I enjoy sharing my life with others and hearing about theirs in return. However, this openness does not grant everyone an open invitation to ask me any personal question they desire and expect an answer. This is especially true in pregnancy. Don't get me wrong. I am all about strangers rubbing my belly and asking how far along I am, but at what point do these questions cross the line?  As I've journeyed through motherhood, I have been truly astounded by the very personal questions other women have felt the need to ask...
I want to do it all perfectly. They say you only live once, so why not do it, right, right?!?! The struggle is real. The constant overthinking and analyzing. The incessant self reflection and critical mindset. The googling for a better way to eat, parent, and communicate. Be the best at whatever you chose to be! Riiiiiiight?!?! Y’all, my perfectionist mindset is turning me into a monster. It was all okay when it was just me. I could ebb and flow based on what MY needs were. But now, as a wife with two toddlers, it feels like life is just pulling me in all the directions. With new changes and transitions happening so rapidly in our home, I feel like I can’t keep up most...

Hey Husband, I Miss You

We had many years together before having children. We had individual hobbies and interests, of course, but over the years we've acquired joint interests that we love doing together. On a weekly basis, we used to check out new restaurants followed by a trip to the movies. We loved the whole experience of going to the theatre, buying our favorite snacks, and making our “must see” list during the previews. We had a couple of musicians that we’d see every time they were in town at some of our favorite bars. We loved going to local festivals, LSU away games, weekends in New Orleans, and so many other adventures that came up either planned or completely spontaneous. When we became...

You Used to be Tiny

You Used to be Tiny You used to be tiny. So tiny you fit on my shoulder and when you cried, I could sing “You Are My Sunshine” to lull you into calm. When you fell asleep in the car, we could carefully unbuckle you and whisk you to the Rock N Play to sleep.  You’re still small, and you hate when people call you cute. Now, when I carry you, your feet dangle to my knees. Sometimes when you’re tired or sad, you’ll still request the “Sunshine Song” and I will always sing it, no matter what. You don’t often fall asleep on the ride home anymore (that stubborn streak you get from me) but when you do, we have...
Last weekend’s game against LA Tech got a little precarious towards the end. Was anyone else’s superfan in meltdown mode? My husband Matt kept shaking his head and saying “It’s going to be another Troy” in an uncharacteristically high tone of voice. And no, he wasn’t referring to the 2004 movie called “Troy” that starred an overly bronzed and muscular Brad Pitt (which would have certainly been an upgrade to the third quarter). Troy University is an unranked, non-conference school that beat LSU last year in Tiger Stadium, during Homecoming week. It was a total embarrassment and has become a recurring nightmare for many superfans that is only whispered about in trusted circles. Matt was already on edge, because...
