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!

Every year, we make a pilgrimage to Coffee Call off of College St. (best name ever,...

To Simone Biles, With Love Dear Simone, I’ve been meaning to write this letter for a while, but words have always felt inadequate to capture the mix of admiration and concern I feel. You’ve been a beacon of inspiration, not just for me, but for my daughter and countless other young Black girls who watch you soar. Your athletic feats are nothing short of miraculous, defying gravity and expectations with every flip and twist. The entire sport had to change to make your greatness, naming new moves after you and adjusting the scorecards. Yet, amidst your historic achievements and unparalleled grace, I find myself grappling with a familiar and painful reality — people still have the audacity to judge you based on...
Navigating Back to School Season Feelings As summer's warmth increases, the back-to-school season swoops in, bringing a whirlwind of emotions for my two little learners, Jack and Jacob. Jack, my seasoned third-grader, is oscillating between excitement and dread, while Jacob, my tiny kindergarten newbie, is bursting with anticipation. They are both excited about the light blue shirts. Jack's jitters are palpable as he worries about making new friends, tackling tougher homework, and, of course, showing off how high he can swing. Meanwhile, Jacob is bubbling with enthusiasm, eager to eat school lunch, learn to read with friends, and make art projects that will inevitably cover our kitchen table in glitter.
