If you follow Oaxcaborn on Instagram, you know about our succulent planting adventures (see below photo) so it’s no surprise that this week’s Monday’s Pretty Things is all about greenery! This was inspired by a couple of things — one, the incredible Urban Jungle Bloggers project, and two, the fascinating conversation here about the challenge of spending time outdoors if you, like many people, are an apartment dweller. (Most people don’t actually live on a rambling ranch!)
Hopefully these Pretty Things — and the #UrbanJungleBloggers Pinterest board — will inspire you to create your own green oasis no matter where you live.

I had to go read the conversation. We now live in an apartment with our three small kids. Even when we had a backyard it was rarely used because of the heat, mosquitoes, or safety reasons. My husband and I talk about the going outside issue a lot and the backyard vs. no backyard. We prefer to go to parks with other people around us. We also go to restaurants with outside play areas. We LOVE not having to care for an outdoor area. We’d rather spend our time playing at parks than mowing our own private park.
