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! 

Raising Two Different Personalities I love the joys of having two little ones. I have enjoyed almost every moment of their little lives. Vaccinations and first days are always hard. The same with sickness and accidents. But having children with two different personalities feels like I’m raising them in completely different ways. Some of these differences have to do with their age. I have a little boy and a toddler. My toddler wants to be a big boy so bad and my little boy wants to be an adult. My oldest loves words of affirmation. He loves to know you’re proud of him. That makes him feel special and important. He doesn’t discuss his feelings a lot but praise makes him...
Five True Crime Podcasts To Binge Next True Crime Podcasts are one of the most compelling podcast genres, offering crime, drama, and a suspenseful murder mystery directly to our ears. To say I am obsessed with crime podcasts is putting it mildly. Below are my most recent five listens.

The Best Organized Sports For Little Kids Organized sports have so many benefits. Children learn how to take turns, work as a group, and the benefits of practice. It’s an awesome way to enjoy exercise as well. All children are different, some will get immense joy from winning, some will only get excited about snacks, but your kids should get something out of it. If not, maybe it’s not the sport for them. Gender roles have changed so much. Maybe your little girl enjoys playing football and your son is amazing at gymnastics. Go where their joy is. My favorite sports for littles: Soccer is amazing! Soccer is so popular worldwide. They’ll work together with a team while having a great time....
Unresolutions {Part 1} My family lived a ludicrous year 2023. We dealt with 11 months of recurrent-boil-raising MRSA in both our kids (and the attendant dozens of doctors' appointments). Our older son was bullied at school, and we spent almost the entire academic year battling an administration that refused to address the problem, file the appropriate (and legally required) paperwork, or change his classroom environment. We had put our mortgage in forbearance, not knowing that would mean having to pay back a 5-digit amount all at once at the end of that period despite the mortgage company's casual assurances. A child brought a weapon to our older son's school, and the school administration neglected to inform the parents for over 2...
Getting Your Kid A Passport :: Everything You Need To Know Getting a passport for yourself can be a bit overwhelming add in getting one for your kid and the stress level multiplies. There are so many rules, requirements, and just things that you need for a successful application. Here is what you need to know to be fully prepared. The Basics Passport Book vs. Passport Card. Okay let's clarify this first and foremost. Passport Card = you CANNOT fly with a passport card, it is for land and/or sea travel. If you plan to drive across the Northern/Southern boarders a lot, then hey, it may be good for you, otherwise the card is not worth it. While it is alluring to some...
