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!

Sometimes, even she says, "Did you check Talk About Good?" There is one recipe in there that became a family holiday cult classic: THE HELLO DOLLY Think gooey, chocolatey, nutty goodness on top of a buttery graham cracker crust.

A friend of mine had sent me a motivational short video on YouTube. It was full of statements like, “You’ve got to work hard for what you want, no matter how hard it gets, you push through.” My husband and I have had discussions about many of the good intentions behind these social media posts; but we feel there's also a negative extreme that can be taken from them too. One example he shared with me was from the book, “Way of the Superior Man.” He recalled that it offers a lot of insight but that it’s written to be vague enough to speak to a wide audience for men to “Find His Purpose.” He also shared with me an...
Every four years the biggest event in the sporting world takes place. No, not the one with figure skating and snowboarding and not the one with gymnastics and swimming.
