Tamara's Story
Life
Three wonderful kids, a great husband and I live in my dream house in Glendale, CA. There have been more than my fair share of bumps in the road, but I seem at last to be settling into the place I want to be. My children are 10 (Vivienne--from my first marriage to Henry Acuna), 10 (Guinevere--Geoff's daughter from an earlier marriage) and 2 1/2 (Jacob--ours together). All are bright, funny, and great kids.
As a family we like to travel, both far and near. Last year we went on a Carribbean cruise and to NY for the holidays; this year we're vacationing in L.A.--hitting all the tourist spots in one fell swoop. Next year it'll be somewhere further afield.
I'm your typical working mother--I volunteer for the PTA, am the girl scout troop leader, and drive my kids everywhere. My husband Geoff is a working fiend--traveling a lot to his other offices.

was married for 10 years to Henry; that ended awhile ago. I also had the great opportunity to live in England three separate times, and travel quite a bit while there. I've had some great memories--and some that are difficult. Probably not so much different from the rest of you.
Workplace
In my career, I'm a fundraiser. I have parlayed my love of writing into a full time occupation, and spent many years working on raising funds for the LA Zoo. Right now I'm with Junior Achievement, a worldwide organization dedicated to helping kids succeed. I also do some work on the side--for my son's preschool and for an environmental organization I care deeply about.
I love working in the nonprofit world. I love feeling good about what I do, and knowing that at the end of the day I can leave my job and go home to the family. My husband travels 25-35% of the time, so its important one of us is always there.
