Tamara Rochholz is the owner and designer for Royal Ruckus Clothing and Accessories for Girls. I’ve enjoyed working closely with Tamara in the past year which is why I asked her to be my first mama in the spotlight. Watching her business grow and take off has been exciting and I know she will be quite a busy mamapreneur in years to come! Royal Ruckus style is funky, fresh, and fun! She carries everything from hair clips, headbands, onesies to her new Spring line which will be out nationwide in boutiques soon! Click here to see her awesome new Spring/Summer 2009 catalog.
Come see what all the Ruckus is about!
How did you come up with the name Royal Ruckus? I wanted something that represented my clothing. Royal because of the exceptional boutiue quality and Ruckus because kids still got to have fun!
How long have you been doing this? 2 years
Please explain a little bit about your product/business and how you developed the concept behind it: I started by just making simple accessories and before I knew it I was designing a clothing line for Spring/Summer 2009.
What makes your product/business so unique? The designs, quality, style, and color choices We can offer such a wide variety of products, it’s great for the retailer. They can purchase hair accessories, shoes, and clothing from one manufacturer. All with the same quality.

What is the hardest part or have been some of your struggles starting your own business? Balancing a family, having a solid financial foundation and developing a great business plan has been my biggest challenge.
How do you balance your business and your family? When I spend time with my family, I really try and focus on quality time. Doing something that we all enjoy as a family.
What are some of your short and long term goals with your business? I really want to concentrate on developing a brand that parents can rely on to dress their kids.
Is there anything exciting in the works that we can look forward to? Of course!!! We have some amazing styles for Fall/Winter 2009. Lots of great color, textures, and designs.
What kind of charity work or “giving back to the community” do you do? I’m looking into working with charities that support single moms. It takes so much work to raise a family on your own and I would love to give back to all the women who are in that position that could use some help.
What is your favorite restaurant in San Diego? Los Cabos in Del Mar, The shrimp enchiladas are excellent!
What is your favorite shopping link? You gotta love Ebay, it’s addicting!!
Where might we find you on a lazy day with the family? I love taking the kids to all the places San Diego has to offer!! It’s such a great city with so much to do! Seaworld, the Wild Animal Park or Balboa Park are a few of my favorite places to take the kids!
