Step by Step

After a whirlwind vacation romance, single parents Frank Lambert and Carol Foster return home to Port Washington, Wisconsin, as newlyweds. Their sudden marriage turns two separate households into one busy, blended family, complete with six kids who are less than thrilled about sharing space, routines, and attention. As everyone adjusts to new roles and relationships, everyday mishaps and heartfelt moments keep the growing household moving forward, one step at a time.

Set in Port Washington, Wisconsin, Step by Step follows two single parents whose spontaneous decision to marry transforms their lives overnight. Frank Lambert, a laid-back contractor, and Carol Foster, a caring salon owner, try to merge their very different families under one roof. Carol brings her three children, including strong-willed Dana and social-minded Karen, while Frank arrives with his own trio, led by the goofy, big-hearted J.T. and practical Al. The kids struggle with new rules, shared bedrooms, and the awkward reality of instant siblings, while Frank and Carol learn how to co-parent without losing their own identities. Adding to the chaos is Frank’s lovable cousin Cody, who shows up with questionable advice and a knack for turning small problems into bigger adventures. Through school pressures, teen drama, sibling rivalries, and family milestones, the Lamberts and Fosters gradually build trust and find their rhythm as a real family.
