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.

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!

Waiting in Love

Waiting in Love Do you find yourself waiting for something in frustration, doubt, fear, and anxiety? Whether it is an answer to a prayer, promotion or raise, career, new baby, a relationship, new vehicle or financial miracle, the hardest and dreadful thing to do is wait for it. I spent many nights pacing the floors doubting and crying only to still be waiting for it the next day. I even tried to reach out to family and friends, and they would say wait with expectations or keep the faith it will happen and even God's Holy word tells us in Habakkuk 2:3 "Write the vision, and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it. For the vision...

The Writer Who Keeps Me Awake It feels like reading is having a renaissance. I've always been a reader. I love escaping to different worlds or uncovering the truth in the mystery or hanging out with a fun and funny bunch of characters for a while. I'm not big into horror novels and I don't really do non-fiction, the world is scary enough sometimes. But, there is one author who keeps me awake at night, but not out of fear, it is because I need to know what will happen next. Lucy Foley novels may not be in line to win a Pulitzer, but they do keep me entertained and that's one of the main reasons I read. I've read all of...
Six Silly Arguments Children Have In The Car Let’s go, people, and get in the car. We need to run right down the road to the store. You think to yourself, it is just 10 minutes, we can do this. Wrong! Before you leave the driveway, the competition of who buckled their seatbelt first becomes an argument. Below are the six arguments that I hear on repeat in the car. What day of the week it is—this is a timeless argument. It does not matter what day of the week it is; one will pick any other six days and double down with unmatched confidence that they are right.
