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!

How to Love Valentine's Day Even When You Are Single You cannot ignore it. The aisles of every store you enter are filled with red and pink boxes of heart shaped candy, cookware, candles, oversized stuffed animals and greeting cards. Soon there will be bouquets a plenty and giant balloons beckoning the masses. And here you are single, and you don't have a "Valentine" and this made-up holiday can leave you feeling a little lonely. But Valentine's Day can mean much more than just celebrating romantic love. There are so many forms of love we should celebrate daily. Romantic love is just one form of a vast array of love; there is also love of pets, love of self, love...
BellyFire Pottery :: A Hands-on Bachelorette Party When we were looking for somewhere to host a small intimate bachelorette party, we stumbled upon BellyFire Pottery in Baton Rouge and decided to sign up for one of their hands on pottery-wheel classes. BellyFire Pottery let us come in before our scheduled class to put up a few decorations and set out some charcuterie snacks and champagne. We were all excited for this new experience and a chance to hang out with beloved girlfriends. We were given an instructor that first showed up how to shape the clay into balls and form it by hand. BellyFire had all the tools you need for cutting and decorating the clay and taught us how to mold...
Mardi Gras Parenting Playbook :: Tips for Parading Mardi Gras parades are the ultimate test of parenting endurance! Bringing children, babies, and toddlers to the parades can be a fun and exciting experience, but it requires some serious planning and preparation. As a seasoned Mardi Gras mom, I've learned a thing or two about how to survive (and even thrive) with little ones in tow. Take my two boys, Jack and Jacob, for example. Jack has been a Mardi Gras fanatic since he was a baby. We'd strap him into his stroller, put some headphones on his tiny head (those drums can be loud, y'all!), and he'd giggle and coo his way through the entire parade. He'd reach out for beads...
Kids’ Orchestra Camp :: A 10 out of 10 Experience for Both My Daughter and Me! As a self-proclaimed helicopter mom, I’ve always kept my daughter close during the summer. Whether at home with me or tagging along to school when I was a school administrator, she was never far from my side. So, when I started working remotely, it seemed natural to keep her home. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Last summer was a wake-up call. I realized that my daughter needed more stimulation and social interaction than I could provide at home. Determined to make the next summer different, I eagerly awaited camp sign-ups like they were Beyoncé tickets. On March 2nd, I signed her up for the...
