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! 

After a while, it can start to seem like some kids have everything. Siblings (and their hand-me-downs) increase the odds of this phenomenon. Is there no limit on how many toys one home can house? How do you shop for the family in the process of moving? The idea of more things is overwhelming when there are already so many things to organize, pack, store, move, unpack, organize… When Christmas shopping for these types, it may be a good idea to gift an experience. Make future plans with those cute kiddos. Here are some ideas on what to give. Gift cards or memberships to local play places can go a long way.

The Gratitude Pumpkin - My Favorite Thanksgiving Tradition Between the Halloween holidays and leading up to the Thanksgiving holidays, you can find pumpkins everywhere. There are pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin scones, pumpkin pie, pumpkin candles, and pumpkin themed clothing, but my favorite pumpkin of all is the "Gratitude Pumpkin." You may have pumpkins left over from Halloween that you used for decorating or a Jack O' Lantern that you didn't have time to carve just laying around, so grab your largest and roundest pumpkin and use it to start a new favorite Thanksgiving tradition. I started my favorite Thanksgiving tradition with my daughter and stepdaughters years ago to take inventory of all that we are thankful for and to focus on what...
Dear Disney, We Need to Talk We recently took our kids to Disney World, and, well, I have some notes. To quote a favorite TV show, “first of all, how dare you?” As a mom in her 40s with young kids (geriatric pregnancies amiright?), I’ve noticed some things about Disney World that the younger parents may not be as aware of. Here is my open letter to Disney, let's hope they can do better.  We stayed on property and while, sure it was convenient and it was nice to get dropped off right at the gates, the hotel room had some issues. Why, why do you have the lights so bright in the bathroom? Before this “vacation,” I knew I had a...
Tackling Memories - Not Just Opponents In the South, football season is sacred. For our family, it's a time for bonding, cheering and making unforgettable memories. Our excited yells echo through our home and field, fueling excitement from kickoff to final whistle. Flag football Saturdays bring us together. My tiny Knight, Jack, dons his gold and black jersey, eager to emulate his heroes. Jack even taught us his touchdown dance. We snack on nachos, hot dogs, and Powerade – Football staples.

Jacob's "Geaux Knights!" chants rival my decibel-shattering cheers. I referee...
