Maureen Anders and Adria Ruff (owners of AR Workshop and Anders Ruff Custom Designs), both sent children off to college this fall. And while their son and daughters are […]
It’s prom season, and many teens are choosing to buck tradition by foregoing the usual restaurant dining on prom night. Instead, they are opting to host sophisticated DIY prom dinner parties from home. Teens are saying “no” to stressful reservation-making (which often limits group size and restaurant options), skyrocketing fine dining prices, limited menus, long […]

Eighteen years in the making, Adria has been dreaming about her daughter’s freshman college dorm room since the day she was born. Her daughter, Brynne, loves interior design (almost as much as […]

It’s hard to believe it is already August! That means back-to-school is already on for some and just around the corner for others.

Below, […]
Tomorrow is the first day of school here in South Carolina, and the kids are rounding up school supplies, back packs and lunch boxes. (Where did summer go?) We are also in the mode of thinking “new teacher gifts“, as well! Today is a Back to School Round Up with some of our favorite labeling ideas […]
For lots of you, this week and next week are BACK TO SCHOOL! While we are busy getting our own little ones ready for back to school, we thought we’d leave you with a couple of our favorite photos from our Back to School photoshoot that we did a few years back. My boys went […]
I don’t know about you guys, but the thought of coming up with Back to School lunches for the next school year is a daunting task.

I love teacher appreciation week. Teachers are SUCH hard workers and do so much for our kids that I love to focus on pampering them during teacher appreciation week. If you saw me posting the adorable photo on instagram, it jogged my memory to when we made something similar. A couple years ago for back […]
I hope your week of “back to school” went great for you and your kids! (for those of you who have kids who started already). Nancy of A to Zebra Celebrations always looks for sweet and thoughtful things to do for her adorable girls, and we LOVE this Hello Kitty Party she had for them […]
