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.

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!

Bedtime Stories For Generation Alpha The room is dark. It's my sons' bedtime, and the younger snores peacefully while the older tosses and turns. (If you have ever slept in the same room as a snorer, you might identify here.) From the top bunk, he gives a sigh of exasperation. "MOM," he does not whisper. "I CAN'T SLEEP." "You just have to try," I tell him. "Let your mind slow down. Breathe deeply. Focus on relaxing your ankles … now your knees … now your thig--" "Mom," he hisses, "it's not working."

Silent Book Club :: What's All The Buzz About Silent Book Club, I'd seen it mentioned here and there over the last year or so and it definitely caught my attention, but I wasn't really sure what it was and I didn't have the motivation to find out.

Indications of Self-Injury – from a Former Cutter, to Parents * * * I sit at the "hand table" with my occupational therapist. I've come a couple times now, for sharp thumb pain that makes it so I can't lift anything heavy: 48 pounds of dog food, our 8-year-old, a computer bag, a bottle of Diet Coke. The therapist's face is a study in compassion as she lifts and measures and palpates my range of motion, my thumb-strength, my swelling. Then she turns my hands over, and her face goes silent. I watch her eyes trace the map of scars up the insides of my arms until they disappear into my sleeves. "What happened here?" she asks quietly. I make my voice and eyes earnest....
