Top Secret Urban Oasis Granola Recipe
One of the favorites on the Urban Oasis Breakfast menu is our homemade granola. Our guests are always asking me how to make it so I’m putting the recipe on the blog to make it easier for everyone to follow the simple directions. I make my granola with ingredients from Trader Joes. They sell a […]
Saga of The Urban Oasis: Before, During & After The Real World Atlanta 2019
In mid-February 2019, we packed up every single thing and moved out of our house. Actually, we had movers who did most of that packing and moving. We rented a house around the corner from Krog Street which was nice to get to stay in the neighborhood. I knew it would be a huge disruption […]
Krog Street Market
The Krog Street Market is at the corner of our street. It’s a great place to go for a quick bite, a bottle of wine, or a sit-down meal at one of my favorite seafood restaurants, Watchman. Take a look at the video to get a taste of what KSM has to offer. Shout out […]
Urban Oasis Renovations are Under Way!
As you may or may not know, a reality tv show rented the Urban Oasis for five months back in February to shoot their next season. I can’t mention the name of the show until it airs in mid-June. So you’ll have to stay tuned to get the scoop. Four months have flown by and […]
Meet Ollie, Our New Pup at the Oasis

Ready for a Dip?

Started with Succulents
I decided to try my hand at making a Succulent garden in pots. I ended up with quite a few. Now, I just have to figure out to keep them alive.
Love Me Some Spring Flowers! Truly an Oasis!
I wish I could say these were all my flowers but no it isn’t true. They came from the Carter Center Freedom Parkway Farmer’s Market and were just lovely. Now, sometimes I do have beautiful flowers, roses and peonies are abundant early in the Spring. And now, I have a huge Zinnia bed with colorful […]
Simple Pleasures at the Urban Oasis
I love how our disco ball throws polka dots on the chartreuse wall in the mornings. #simplepleasures #happy
Inman Park and The Old Fourth Ward are Rocking and Rolling!
It is hard to believe what is happening all around the Urban Oasis. We are ground zero in the most walkable neighborhoods in Atlanta, Inman Park and the Old Fourth Ward. I feel like I have dual citizenship in these two neighborhoods and they were already great but they both have just taken off. A […]
