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! 

So NOT Instagram Worthy

So NOT Instagram Worthy I am often overwhelmed. I often find myself dreaming about the far away days when I don’t have someone always needing me. I imagine nights spent sleeping instead of chasing away bad dreams. I imagine stretching out without little feet in my back. Days spent in quiet, contemplative peacefulness. The ability to do whatever I want, whenever I want and to be able to take a bath without an impromptu audience busting down the door at any time. Am I the only one? Why do I feel like I am? WHY AM I NOT ENJOYING THIS?! I find myself comparing myself and my parenting to what I see on social media. You see, I know I’m looking at...
Our Favorite Halloween Movies {For Little Kids} I absolutely love Halloween for the pageantry, the mystery, and the element of surprise. When you’re experiencing Halloween with your littles and want a movie night, it’s important to find movies that everyone will enjoy. These are some of our favorites: 1. Happy Halloween, Scooby-Doo! This movie is fun and suspenseful. It's fun to guess who is the guilty party and to explain why. 2. PAW Patrol: Halloween Heroes We're a family that just recently discovered Paw Patrol and we love them. This movie doesn't ruin the magic of Halloween by explaining everything but won't have you up at midnight trying to figure anything out. It’s about the Paw Patrol being the heroes that they are solving...
I Get One Shot to Raise Them This precious opportunity of raising our children should be one we embrace. It is fleeting, it is fast, it is long, it is exhausting, and it is sometimes lonely all simultaneously. While it may sound like a daunting task, it's also a beautiful reminder of the unique opportunity we have to shape and nurture the lives of our little ones. The journey of parenthood is filled with challenges and triumphs, and each moment is a chance to make a lasting impact on our children's lives. Our "one shot" at parenting is such a profound and precious gift. Because time flies, we should cherish every moment. It's no secret that children grow up incredibly fast....
The Simple Dinner Table Game That Will Have Everyone Laughing If your family is like mine, your dinner time with one another is the only time you spend together as a family all day. We may be ripping, running and chaotic most days out of the week but more often than not, we make the time to sit and have our last meal of the day, together. We may just be eating drive-thru fried chicken after the football game or Old El Paso tacos, but we do it as a family in our own kitchen. Some nights, though, we find ourselves asking why we even bother. There’s always at least one person at the table in a foul mood, one...
Dropping The Circus Act :: Letting Go Of Having It All So many times, I have found myself basing my success as a mom on whether or not the world thought I had everything under control. My life looked like I was a circus performer, running around trying to keep all the plates spinning in unison. My job, my children’s social life, my marriage, the orderliness of my home, and my children's happiness were plates spinning above my head all day. As long as the plates never stopped and came crashing to the ground, I was a successful mom. However, doing this circus act was just that…an act. A show put on for others. It was an act to seem like...
