The Baby Boomer Sandwich I remember some years ago someone saying that baby boomers would be a sandwich generation. By the time they were in their middle years they might have frail parents while still be looking after their own children or helping with grandchildren. At the time I dismissed the comment, thinking that the [...]

Man of the Moment: Eddie McClintock
If you’re a geek like me, our Man of the Moment, Eddie McClintock needs no introduction. He’s the man who plays Agent Pete Latimer on the SyFy original series Warehouse 13. He’s also a husband, father, dog-owner, and – as most of the best people are – still in touch with his inner ten-year-old. Recently, [...]

The Reluctant Horse Whisperer by Ann Tinkham
Camille had been terrified of horses ever since Pinto, her rent-a-horse, went on a wild tear, galloping through the dense pine woods of northern Michigan on a family outing led by Blanche, a woman who dubbed herself the “Horse Whisperer.”

The Gypsy Girl’s Guide to Atlanta, GA
by Roxanne Ravenel on 17. May, 2013 in Gypsy Girl's Guide
Last summer I ventured to Atlanta, Georgia for a weekend girlfriends’ getaway hosted from a childhood friend. I discovered that Atlanta has much to offer visitors. I visited several attractions, but the unbearably hot 100° plus weather prohibited me from visiting several others. Here is a list of some of the places I visited and [...]
Habitation: Ditching Drama as a Lifestyle
by Elizabeth Rago on 15. May, 2013 in The Habitation Series
I used to enjoy drama in my life. No, let me be honest: I used to actually seek and attract drama, like confrontation in work situations. Now? I consider stepping away from drama in my life as self care. Taking care of the home your soul lives in is just as important as taking care [...]
Man on Monday: Brian Plautz of Chroma
by Roxanne Ravenel on 13. May, 2013 in ATG Interview, Men on Monday
Welcome to All Things Girl, Brian. Tell us a little about yourself. Where did you grow up, and where do you now call home? I grew up in Shaker Heights, right outside of Cleveland. I went to a public school with a great music program. After moving to Boston to study at Berklee College of [...]
Sunday Brunch: Apostrophic Mother’s Day
by Melissa A. Bartell on 12. May, 2013 in ATG Editor Chatter
So, it’s Mother’s Day, at least in much of North America, and a few other places. Mexico, where my mother lives, celebrated it on Friday, as their Mother’s Day is always on May 10th, instead of being the second Sunday in May, or seventy-third day after the first dark Tuesday, or whatever. But, anyway, it’s [...]
The Mighty Kymm’s Deep Cuts: Iron Man III
by Kymm Zuckert on 09. May, 2013 in ATG Editor Chatter, ATG Reviews
Hooray, the summer movie season has begun! “But Mighty Kymm,” I hear you cry, “It is not summer, it is the beginning of May, and it just totally snowed in Wisconsin!” This may be true, but it’s 93° here in LA, and also we are sick of the post-Oscars doldrums, and also we are ready [...]
Girls’ Night Out by Jody Keisner
by Jody Keisner on 06. May, 2013 in ATG Editor Chatter
I was in the midst of my first serious post-college relationship when my mother wondered aloud if I was a lesbian. “But I’m dating a man,” I stammered, even though she had met him. “We went out last night.” My mother and I were snuggled on a floral loveseat in my parents’ living room, our [...]
Happier & Healthier Living: The Unexpected Hobby
by Elia on 05. May, 2013 in Living Happier & Healthier Lives
There’s a confession I have to make, and it may startle some and confuse others. I’ve taken up knitting. That’s right, I’m a knitter. If you told me a year ago that I would be even remotely interested in knitting, I wouldn’t have believed it. I practically break out into hives when I enter [...]
The Gypsy Girl’s Guide to Charlotte, NC
by Lorissa on 03. May, 2013 in Gypsy Girl's Guide
After living in London and Oxford for a little over 6 years, moving to Charlotte, NC was a bit of a culture shock for me. Not an entirely unwelcome one, but a shock nonetheless. Having lived here in Charlotte for a little over 2 years now, I’ve started to explore more of the city. Although [...]
Habitation: A Heart of Gold
by Danielle Driscoll on 01. May, 2013 in The Habitation Series
As early as I could walk my mother carted me around to the many different antique stores she loved. We’d drive for miles in her small, red, Chevy Monza with the tan leather bucket seats. Invariably getting lost along the way turning our trip into a “Joy Ride”. Down country lanes, and curving roads, she [...]
Giving Mother’s Day A Microphone
by Elizabeth Rago on 30. Apr, 2013 in ATG Editor Chatter
Motherhood. The word that best describes motherhood for me is bountiful. bountiful |ˈbountəfəl|- adjective, large in quantity; abundant Everything about mothering is abundant. Think about it: the abundance of microscopic cells creating a tiny human. The abundance of energy it takes to press through that last month of pregnancy or the stretch of patience leading [...]
Sunday Brunch: Oh, Coffee!
by Melissa A. Bartell on 28. Apr, 2013 in ATG Editor Chatter
Coffee has been part of my life nearly as far back as I can remember, my earliest experience of it being the “coffee-milk” my mother used to make for me by spooning teaspoons of her thick, black, brew into my class of moo-juice from time to time. It is precisely because of this that I [...]
The Mighty Kymm’s Deep Cuts: The Big Wedding
by Kymm Zuckert on 25. Apr, 2013 in ATG Reviews
I was really looking forward to this movie, though there were a couple of red flags, like the fact that it’s an English-language remake of a French comedy, which often does not translate well, and it’s a comedy with Robert DeNiro in it, which often seems to be watching him pick up a paycheck for [...]
Habitation: Shedding the Need To Be in Control
by Elizabeth Rago on 24. Apr, 2013 in The Habitation Series
I have lots of post-its scattered around my house with encouraging phrases and verses that remind me to “practice peace” and “ramp up my love walk”. Thank goodness my husband loves me because when I am really going through a challenge, the post-its run rampant throughout our home. On the kitchen cabinets. In the bathroom. [...]

Happier & Healthier Lives: Connecting With Mother Earth by Sahar Joya
by ATG Guest on 21. Apr, 2013 in Living Happier & Healthier Lives
My mother has always had a green thumb, and growing up as a city girl, I felt some anxiety about not being able to have this connection and wisdom with the earth that she had. My mom grew up in a rural village in Afghanistan, so this was part of her lifestyle, growing and harvesting [...]
The Gypsy Girl’s Guide to San Francisco
by Melissa A. Bartell on 19. Apr, 2013 in Gypsy Girl's Guide
There are cities around the world that don’t require the addition of the state or country name to define them. Paris is one; New York and London are others. Tokyo, Singapore, and Rome are part of that illustrious list as well – and each of them has its own cachet of sophistication. One other iconic [...]
