Chief Everything Officer?

Juggling home, family, and business? Then you'll feel right at home here as we get down to the nitty gritty on life at its best and busiest!
From social media to school board politics, my life takes many paths each week as I wear the hats of wife, mother of 5, daughter, sister, online entrepreneur, full time social media marketing specialist, active church member, and Governing School Board member ... all while running a home and the unending tasks of cook, janitor, laundress, chauffeur, financial analyst, landscaper, nurse, homework tutor and such! I'm sure you can relate! I have come to call myself, and those like me, a "Chief Everything Officer" where our roles and responsibilities can change from moment to moment. So come along for some adventure as we talk parenting, politics, e-Preneurship, Penny Thoughts, and more. Learn More About Me

Meet the C.E.O.

Bonnie Schroader and familyMy name is Bonnie Schroader and I created this site. Call it a playground, of sorts, for my wandering mind to unravel itself into paragraph form. I love to write - in fact, I've always loved to write. When I was younger, it was an exit strategy. It was a way to let go of reality and enter a world that, for me, meant peace. So here's a little about who I am, and what I love... Starbucks Addict. Sarah McLachlan Fan. Nomad Theorist. Lover of WordPress. Founder of StudioPress. I've always thrived on the fact that I consider myself an intellectual and found myself at an early age enjoying the literary works of Henry David Thoreau. In case you didn't know, he wrote a book called Walden, where he uttered words that resonate with so many of us:
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.
That is what this website is all about - me living deliberately. I believe that life is more colorful in black and white which is why I've chosen to post images here that are without color. It leaves more to the imagination, which is ultimately what I want this website to become. A place for people to read, write and imagine. Welcome to my home, make yourself comfortable...

Whom I Recommend for Domain Registration

The Royal Wedding of Prince William and Catherine

The Royal Countdown

T – 3 hours and the magical question of “who made the dress” will be answered! Watching archive video of the wedding of Lady Diana and Charles brings back such fond memories as a young tween obsessed with Diana. Snacks, sleeping bags and my best friend kept me company as we prepared to stay up [...]
