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! 

It doesn’t feel like it has been 11 years since I brought home my first born. I had no clue about the journey we had ahead of us. There was nothing I had read or heard from other people that could prepare me for the real life experience of motherhood. To truly experience motherhood with all its up and downs, you have to live it and be present. It is an adventure that stretches you out of your comfort zone and truly humbles you. The world that I am raising my children in has changed so much since I was a little girl. As their mother, I have a responsibility to teach and provide them with the right tools and...

What I'll Teach My Kids About January 6, 2021 "For the first time in my life, I will face my audience without knowing the steps to the dance. I can compare what happened today, January 6th 2021 to the war of 1812, but not really. It’s not good...
When going through a challenging season, it can be easy to isolate rather than show up. I’m not talking about those times when we really need to say “no” and the decision to stay home is the self-care that will revive us. I’m talking about the times when we need to be with friends but we don’t feel like all of our ducks are in a row, when we don’t have it all together (do we ever?!), and when we want to pull back instead of being present. The times where it feels like pursuing friendships takes a little more energy than we currently have, even though investing in connection with a friend would probably be just the thing...
She stood in her Christmas pajamas, voice quivering, and asked, “Mom, is Sally real?” Well, crap. I knew this day was close & yet I still wasn’t ready. So I asked her, “What do you think?” A sob escaped, tears streamed down her face, “I don’t think she’s real! My reindeer has plastic in her antlers, and she’s stuffed, and her necklace never changes to full or empty! And her tag said Made in China, that's not the North Pole! So how can Sally be real?!” We took a deep breath and invited her to come snuggle between us for The Conversation. “We’ve always told you the truth when you asked, right? This is no different. But just like always I’m going to tell...
This time of year can be completely magical. Whether it be the beautiful lights on display,  Christmas tunes playing on the radio, or the excitement in your children's eyes. All around us are constant reminders of it being the most wonderful time of the year (queue the music). For some, however, this time of year may not feel so wonderful. How do you make it through the holidays when feeling less than merry and bright? Tradition Goes a Long Way Christmas can be a time when material things come front and center.
