I’m so glad you found me!

My name is Tamara (like “see ya, tomorra”) and I am the publisher, Mama and StepMama behind these pages.

Lights,Camera,Family started off as a place to write down personal thoughts and has turned into just a bit more.

Here on the blog, I’ll share favorite goodies I come across, local Raleigh and Triangle spotlights, the adventures and travels that bond us, and sometimes a few insights on parenting, stepparenting and co-parenting that I gain along the way.

You could say I’ll share a little “blend” of everything-because we all lead a “blended life” in one way or another. See how I did that? 😉

My actor husband, Steven and I have four children we parent together. With 6 people in the house, every day seems to be an adventure in cooperation, carpooling, and lots (and I mean LOTS) of unpaired socks.

I like to say we lead a life full of drama, chaos and lots of love. I hope you can always find a little of each on these pages.

About ME: I gave up my dreams of Broadway and a successful corporate career in NYC to become a stay at home Mom. I’ve never looked back. I’m imperfect in every way but I sure do try.

About THE HUBBY-my amazingly talented actor, writer, director, coach husband. Besides being crazy talented at his day job, he’s also the toilet unclogger, bug “rescuer”, picker upper of all things heavy and reacher-upper of all things high. I couldn’t do life without him. He’s the best scene partner ever.
