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!

My Dad :: My Hero My wonderful father, Dr. Bill McHenry, is an extraordinary individual who has made a profound impact on my life and the lives of those around him. His dedication to his family, community, and grandchildren is truly inspiring, and his recent receipt of the Presidential Award for Mentorship is a well-deserved recognition of his tireless efforts.

Watch Out! I Have Discovered the Empowerment of Yard Work    Recently, my family and I moved to a new home with a bigger yard and more flower beds to tend. Prior to our current home, we didn’t have a lot of beds to flower and the lawn wasn’t much to have cut. Because of this, we hired help to take care of our yard. Now that we are in a larger home with a larger yard and a larger mortgage, we are pinching pennies by handling the yard work ourselves.
