Baton Rouge Parents Magazine–January 2026

THE MOST AS AN ENTREPRENEUR? BRITTANY: Time management. If there are a lot of tasks to get done within an eight hour period, I know I can knock it out, because as a mom, you have to make things work. There’s always a way to get it done. By being a mom, it has taught me how to prioritize my time and just kick ass.

WHAT’S THE BEST PARENTING ADVICE YOU’VE RECEIVED?

and knock it out. Then you can go outside and play. After that, it’s bathtime, dinner, we’ll read a book or watch a show, and then go to bed. At eight o'clock, you have to be in bed, and then at 8:30, the TV goes off. Having that structure is helpful.

BRITTANY: Motherhood isn’t perfect. At the end of the day, if your kids feel loved, you’re doing an amazing job. It doesn’t have to be color coordinated clothes all the time. They’re healthy, they’re happy, and they’re getting time with you, that’s what kids value the most. IF YOU COULD GO BACK AND TALK TO YOURSELF THE WEEK BEFORE YOU BE- CAME A MOM, WHAT WOULD YOU SAY? BRITTANY: I would say it’s going to be hard, but embrace the hard because it’s such a rewarding experience at the end of the day.

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE OTHER MOMS THINKING ABOUT STARTING THEIR OWN BUSINESS?

HOW DO YOU CARVE OUT TIME FOR YOURSELF?

BRITTANY: I would say go for it. If you have a business idea, don’t let it stay dormant. You’ve thought of it for a reason. Pray about it. Ask God how to do it. I feel like there’s nothing that we can’t do. There’s so much research out there. We have laptops, we have phones, and we should pray and ask God what the next step is and have him lead the way for us. Just follow through with it and give yourself grace throughout the process. Motherhood is not perfect. Owning your own business is not perfect. It’s just about being present and doing what you say you’re going to do. I’ve learned that it’s okay to slow down, ask for help, and do what works best for your family, not what the internet or social media has to say. Embrace the small wins. That's another big one.

BRITTANY: I have to do it when everybody sleeps. I will cook dinner, bathe my babies, and clean the house, and then once every- body sleeps, that’s when I prioritize myself. Most times, it’s a long bath. I may fix myself a glass of wine and watch Netflix or watch whatever shows I want to watch at that time. That’s the best time to decompress. DO YOU HAVE ANY SMALL ROUTINES THAT HELP KEEP YOUR HOME RUNNING SMOOTHLY? BRITTANY: We pray together every morning before carpool. My kids love to lead with prayer, which is great. We end the day with prayer before bed. Sometimes they hate me for it, but after school, it’s let’s get a snack, let’s sit at the island and do our homework,
