Mom Tips, Tricks and Hacks

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!

Math, science, english and histories… the things you find on standardized testing, ya know? But this excludes a whole aspect of a kids’ development and person. Creativity is a critical component of an individual’s identity. It can be expressed in a variety of interests, hobbies and skills. But outside of MAYBE an hour in a classroom, it is often undervalued in the academic setting. As a parent, there is a lot of pressure to create a “well-rounded” human at the end of 18 years. But the reality is...
(Traditional) School or Homeschool? It’s a tough question. This has been an annual question for our family for the past 21 years. Some years, the response to this question has been immediate, without a doubt, and very clear. Other years … it has not so obvious and certainly more difficult to make. Either way, we have always found a lot of peace with the realization that “we can always make another, different decision … next year.” We have been fortunate that making this decision has been “choosing between two goods.” Starting our son in public school kindergarten in the small town of Cheshire, CT was a tough one. That little five-year-old being picked up by a bus was just hard to...

Disclosure :: we included affiliate links below, but trust us – these baby must haves have been life changing in our home! I fully understand that products change and only get better in time, but nothing prepared me for how many things have changed between having my son and daughter. I almost felt like a first-time parent again because things we used with Maverick have since been recalled so we couldn’t use them for Melody (looking at you Rock N Play). I’ve joined so many groups and watched so many YouTube videos to try and find the best of the best or at least the best dupes.  Here are 5 of my favorites. It was really hard to narrow it down,...
