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! 

Book Series (with TV Shows) To Keep You Busy It really seems like reading is making a comeback, or maybe I'm just noticing it more. I've always been a reader. Now I see more and more people online and in life, talking about what they are currently reading. There are silent book clubs, reading groups and community reading. There is BookTok and bookstagram, and while Romantasy is having a moment, I'm more of a mystery reader. It's probably the early influence of Nancy Drew or Agatha Christie. I also love a series. It is nice to come back to familiar characters and to follow their stories over the years. I thought I'd share two series that have been around for...

Waiting in Love

Waiting in Love Do you find yourself waiting for something in frustration, doubt, fear, and anxiety? Whether it is an answer to a prayer, promotion or raise, career, new baby, a relationship, new vehicle or financial miracle, the hardest and dreadful thing to do is wait for it. I spent many nights pacing the floors doubting and crying only to still be waiting for it the next day. I even tried to reach out to family and friends, and they would say wait with expectations or keep the faith it will happen and even God's Holy word tells us in Habakkuk 2:3 "Write the vision, and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it. For the vision...
