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!

An Open Letter To Moms :: When Your Child Struggles In School To the mom of children who struggle in school :: I see you. From experience, today was probably another hard day. Maybe you got a dreaded phone call from school, where the administration suggested another meeting. Perhaps it is a note about your child’s behavior written out professionally, but you can feel the frustration behind it. Maybe it is the judgment you felt from another parent when you mention your child’s name. Maybe the graded test papers were sent home with red all over. Perhaps it was the lack of positive reinforcement at school, the lack of a positive note of accomplishment in your child’s book sack. No matter the reason, today...
Alms-Giving :: Something Greater Than Jonah Mass was weirdly joyful, this past Sunday. Weirdly, because Lent had just started and many parishioners looked the way I felt: tired, frustrated, humbled, and/or ruing the resolution to give up or take up . Still, there was a palpable joy in the sanctuary of our Church. We had gathered, as a family, sharing a creed and a language and a ritual as familiar as the walls that held our worship. Lent can be a period of self-inflicted hardship, but we find comfort in the mere fact of gathering there together and holding one another up. Our little family of four drove home down Goodwood, a direct but scenic meander through leafy neighborhoods, past...

Look no further than Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Based on the YA novels of the same name, with heavy involvement from author Rick Riordon, the Disney+ series follows the story of young Percy Jackson and how his life changes when he learns he is a demi-god because his dad is a Greek god.

The target audience for both the books and the series is...
