Sometimes an organized mind needs personal material’s organized for optimal functions. Thanks for sharing
Love it when the Ocotillo bloom, beautiful. When I stayed there, the coyotes howled all night
I thought I was the only one who had cans, jars, plates, loaves of bread, ad infinitum hitting me in the head and re-decorating the camper. Love your day in the life videos. It's yoga.
LOL you two. Nothing worse than a can of Spaghetti-O's to the head. Ouch.
We lived on a boat for 7 years, so i can relate to how quickly cupboards and spaces can get out of control. Kudos for tackling this...and publically too!
Interesting Jack, what made you come back to land lover again?
@@garbinator09 Getting older. Plus, the increased loss of value of the boat. It took 3 years to sell the boat and then at a loss. It's a longer story.
@@jackbyrd381 In my younger days, I used to dream about living on a sailboat off the coast of California, back then Argosy magazine had written several articles about sailing, makemaking me wish I could live the lifestyle. I never did.
I had a 60ft houseboat that was about a year old it looked like a floating mobile home with vinyl siding, a wrap around porch and a 30ft sun deck on the roof in the 90's in the Honey island swamp outside of New Orleans. I sure wish I still had it.
Wow. What a great change in plans. The mountains are spectular and being from the swamps of Louisiana, i have never seen lakes so beautifully, sparkling clear. You and Joey did real good on this one.
Be safe.
Thank you. Hi, Joey.😊😊
Lived in San Diego while in Jr. College and loved Anza Borrego State Park. Another great state park is down the road, in Arizona along the Colorado River, near Yuma - Picacho State Recreation Area. Only drawback might be the 20 mile simi-graded gravel road to get out there - you might have to fix up your cabinets again after driving it!
For the algorythm. Always a nice time in my day when your videos show up. Thanks Catherine.
Thank you 🙏
House keep stuff or whatever, your videos are always a source of beauty and serenity
We'll, after seeing your cabinet, it's good to know your human & like the rest of us! We love your videos.
Good job. Peaceful campsite, except for the wind. Enjoy the family time.
That sunrise shot with you drinking coffee is epic !!
Cat, that on-camera pancake flip was trail rated. Dont get discouraged on the clutter, we all have a sh*t drawer or shelf!
Good video as always. Hope your doing ok Catherine. Stay safe.
You are so real Catherine!😄
Completely ok with the "cupboard hoarding" episode. It looked like my garage. Nice cleaning!
You get to witness Mother Earth waking & retiring for the night. What a treat!! Thanks. 🙋🏼♀️❤️👍🏻
Job well done Catherine. As always, thanks for bringing us along!
Always love your videos! Even if it’s cleaning and reorganizing!! Have a blessed evening!
I used to drive truck down to Ocotillo Wells near where you are. The blooming cacti were phenomenal and the sunrises were amazing. Perfect pancakes by the way Catherine :)
As a professional organizer I really enjoyed seeing your cabinet transformed!!
Good job! Truth be told.... EVERYBODY has that one place that's just a mess!
That's a good idea on getting a spice rack of some sort. Free up a little more space!!!!
Take care Kat!
Hello cat thanks for sharing 👍 😊 nothing wrong with a little clutter ads charm to your space be safe and enjoy the wedding 💒 😊
catherine you have shared some amazing places that many of us cannot get to i thank you and please keep sharing love from the UK hey we still have no snow but a lot of wind god bless you
You have a gift for being neat and tidy. Thank You for another great video 🙏👍
Great job. Great video as usual. Love your lights you have on the walls.
Thanks for another delightful cameo into the beauty, and magnificence of nature; keep them coming Ms. Catherine ... Cheers.
I can relate! I heard noises in my camper as I took a corner. When I pulled over and saw what happened- yet again- it was my native animal totum statue; A piece I adored and one that reminded me of wisdom. The legs and antlers of one- and parts of the other totum animals, just broken. Oh SO sad. I finally gave up and tossed it because I had no more wisdom than a fruit fly. But now, as I look back it's wisdom born of pain.
❤
i use a small strip of Velcro on the bottom too keep my bins from sliding around . Also on small plant or decor items. You can learn a lot from the sail boat people when it comes to tying stuff down.. Duct tape...velcro...epoxy.. always good to have. 3M products are good.
Hi Catherine Way to go on the Decluttering the clutter super proud of you here is an idea you might like tension rods and the Bins are a bonus for you that way you can lift out the bin and pull out what you need and then put back
You inspire me. What beautiful territory you are in!
I’ve been around those wind turbines and they are extremely loud and unsightly.
Love how you captured the sunrise. 🤠
Thank you 🙏
No judgement here! Planning our first extended RV trip and your ideas for organization affirmed mine. We can’t wait to get to those wild places! Thank you for sharing your life in honest and real ways!
They give new meaning to WIND in Anza Borrego! Have been fortunate enough to have spent two weeks there in the winter the past two years. I love it. My favorite thing to do is hike south on the PCT over at Scissors Crossing. Last year we were there in March and I got to see lots of through hikers heading north. Best little hippie town of Borrego Springs. I’m jealous! Thanks for this one.
I've been sleeping in my car for a while and felt bad for a while. Now I'm having fun with it. Cooking 🍳. At my local park is fun .every thing u say and do makes me smile thank you for your videos. Cowboy john norco California horse Town USA 🇺🇸
We all need to slow down and declutter Cat. What a nice secluded and quiet spot to do just that. Have a Wonderful week.
Great video again. You really nailed that sunrise with the music at the beginning of the video. Live long and prosper. Happy trails 👣
I always like the part where you show cooking your meals and that according to me is the best part of your vlogs. keep up the good stuff and have fun with creating quality content.
Nice peaceful area to rest for a while. Hope you enjoy the wedding and friends and family you see. Safe travels Cat.
Thank you Ken!
Wow! What a vast difference between the barren rocks and dry-looking brush and the lushness of America’s beautiful forested parks.
I actually cringed then laughed out loud when you opened that cupboard. I'm obsessed with organizing. My pantry at home looks like a supermarket aisle, same with my refrigerator. My wife thinks I'm crazy. It's nice to see you back in my backyard. I live in So Cal (all my life) and Anza Borrego, Coachella Valley, and Joshua Tree are my winter desert playground. The San Bernardino Mountains the San Jacinto, and the San Gabriel Mountains are where I play when the temperatures begin to rise. Welcome back.
Thank you kindly Catherine for sharing another lovely video🌟
thanks for your positive and soothing energy. You are a pleasure to watch God Speed.
One of our favorite videos of yours! Thank you!
We get our new truck within the next week, then it’s camper shopping time. We’ll see you in the road at some point!
Another good Sunday morning; relax; enjoy family and the wedding.
I really like your videos. Every time I see one I think that’s what I should have done this weekend
Gm from New Mexico.. like all videos 👍 enjoy, have fun with your family, friends..be safe..
I love days where I can "putter" in my truck camper when traveling. Relaxing day in all the traveling to perfect campsites.
When on 4x4 adventures in my Jeep, you need a day to relax and enjoy your destinations special aspects.
Good morning from Godley Texas, what the city dweller sees as a barren wasteland; the outdoors person sees Mother Nature's finest beauty 😎
I did say it was beautiful. I didn’t call it a wasteland. I’m just more of a mountains with pine trees fan. I haven’t been a city dweller for a long time.
@@CatherineGregoryAdventures sorry you took it that way, I was referring to the non-adventurous types. Stay safe and happy travels 😎
What a coincidence, just before watching your video today I was tackling my desk drawers which resemble your cabinets. I think almost everyone has these areas where we shove things until we have no choice but to deal with it. Quite a beautiful spot you're in there as well, seems very peaceful. Be safe!
Good morning from the Missouri Ozarks! Beautiful camping spot, would love to see California someday. Always enjoy your videos no matter where you are. Thanks Catherine. Have a wonderful, safe, happy week!
Thank you so much Joyce. Enjoy the Ozarks! They are beautiful!
I find it helpful to hold light weight items on the back-side of the doors. Such as rolls of saran wrap, aluminum foil , wax paper , freezer bags . It frees up space for the most used items that can be stored lower.
Oh, I saw the prefect "extra shelves" at Costco the other day. Would fit perfect in RV cabinets.
Okay, now I’m ready to start my Sunday and another week after my weekly ritual of watching your videos. 😇 Thank you again for taking us on your adventures!
I really like these type videos. Blessings
YOU ~ ROCK ! !
Great job reorganizing! Yes, barren but beautiful. Have a great week. Stay well and be safe.
I have a entire house & garage to organize, so great job. Looks so nice. Have fun at the wedding. :)
Dear Cat 😘😃🍀, well done 👍 kitchen is tip top again. 🥳 So we decided to do the same this week 😂thank you for inspiring 😊 Nice landscape again. We enjoyed this on a 🌧 afternoon in Berlin. Take care on you🍀🙏👍 your big Berlin Fan Couple, Nicole and Hardy 😃🌷😘
Thanks guys!
Nice job! I love the way you contained the food especially in order of type and use. Family is indeed special, and it is always a time to catch up on things and pay a little "I remember when's". Be good and be safe- -love your stuff!!
Loved the Hendrix cover! Appreciate the transparency, we all have quirks! Very nicely organized. Love the camp site too! Noting that one in my KAT notebook, thanks!!
HI Catherine, When I used to work on sportfishing yachts as a finish carpenter, I learned a trick for keeping things in place while underway. We would pack balloons into the voids between things in the cabinets. Balloons in garbage bags for bigger areas. You might find a good use for this trick too. Smiling, George.
So soothing and tranquil! If for no other reason, I love your videos for that!
Your “before” cabinets gave me instant anxiety lol. Much better now! 👏👏
LOL !!! Great job on that hidden secret !!! What a beautiful peaceful place !!! Thanks
Great video Catherine as usual!!! Enjoy getting a glimpse of your life!!!!!
Always the best vids! Keep them coming!
Kodiak Cakes! My favorite. I stock up wherever Safeway has it on sale. Sometimes, I make pancakes for dinner…and I’m reminded how awesome life can be.
There was an amazing amount of stuff on that cupboard!
Thanks for sharing. Safe travels.
Fantastic so far. You don't have to explain anything. You're working on it, thank you for sharing some normalcy
Cathy the outside of your rig always looks so clean and nice. I live in a sticks and bricks house and have cabinets and drawers that are in sad shape.you make me want to clean them out. Your friend in Pennsylvania. Bob🐶
Stunning sunrise sunset 🌅, stay warm stay free CG, gotta ❤ south west
Beautiful sunset and sunrise thanks for showing your cabinets makes me need to add more cabinets in my rebuild of my 66 Ford special slide in camper God bless be safe
Hi Catherine. The organization project turned out really good. Enjoy the wedding and family time!
Thank you so much!
He he on the clutter. None of the rest of us have that problem. Glad you fessed up, I knew there was something deeply troubling on your conscience, you must feel so much better. Thanks, so much, for sharing your toil. Next time. Rick
Same problem with my 2005 Lance slide in. Thanks for some great organizing ideas!
lol....so brave of you to share your 'problem' cabinet. We all have them, so you are in good company. 😆
I visited the Anza Borrego area years ago. You speak of military activity. I was walking a trail, it was so quiet out there when suddenly coming towards me, flying very low is an F-14. It scared the daylights out of me.😀 Thanks for sharing. The ocotillo bloom is gorgeous with the sunrise in the background.
Very much enjoyed this video! Would love more like this too ❤️
The cupboard looks a lot better. Good day to stay inside. Take care.
Good Sunday morning to you Catherine! Great job organizing your home. The Anza-Boreggo nature preserve is an amazing place in spring when the desert blooms prevail. The nature center there is worth checking out as well as the sculpted metal dinosaurs that an artist has created and placed in various spots around the area. The spine filled Ocatillo plant becomes full of green leaves and beautiful flowers. I noticed a few red blooms that you captured. As always, love you and be safe! 💖🙏
I use double tension rods for my upper camper cabinets. Has helped 100%. Looks like you lock the cabinets on the outside but this prevents stuff falling on you when opening the doors.
Love your rig! A classic that gets the job done! Look at all the places you get to! 😉 Thanks for another entertaining video!
I immensely enjoy watching your episodes. You inspire me to one day do what you enjoy doing and just go camping and live life.
Good morning from Oregon. I remember my parents having to organize over and over again when they were snowbirds for 25 years.
Nice Scenery. Never been there something to put on my list. Thanks for sharing. Be Safe Be Happy.😊
I love your videos they are like meditation, so soothing and peaceful. When I am having a stressful day, I love to watch your videos, with the soft voice, music and nature. Great job on your cabinets!
Thank you 🙏
Messy cabinets are hardly embarrassing. I have a few myself. And don't even look at my art/work table. yikes! But you have inspired me to clean my own mess on this sunday morning. Thanks for sharing.
2:04 There's some primo California nature for you. Man-made shrines to a cleaner solution while ironically littering the desert. Almost as unsightly as solar farms.
I just organized a cloths closet and I have to agree it is very satisfying.
Looks much better - I agree putting the spices on the counter somehow is good idea, maybe somehow attach a container to a kitchen wall. You always find the best spots to park..
That wasn’t just home maintenance, that was self maintenance. Now something else will drive you crazy!! Lol Welcome to my world! Loved the spot, btw. Very peaceful. Best wishes Catherine!🙋🏻♀️
Brought back so many memories for me....would go camping with my aunt and uncle in the 70'S. He had a 1969 Chevy with a slide camper. All over California, Nevada, and Arizona. Thanks !!!!
Oh Catherine... Glad to see you made it somewhere warmer. Even early Spring cleaning is a joy to behold with you. Safe journeys.
Love your capture of the sunrise and sunsets
You really know how to capture a sun rise just beautiful. I'm sure we all have a cabinet that needs cleaning. I have a closet that I can't open without stuff falling on me. Thank you for another great video.
Love your show! You have encouraged me to tackle some of my well unorganized cupboards! Catch you on the next one! Nancy from Canada
Oh My! You bring a good morning smile and laughter along with beauty but, you also made me remember my own cupboard mess that I need to tackle. Good RV motivational. Thanks Catherine
Hi lovely video from you. I love it❤🙋♀️💞
Catherine. I noticed in your videos that your camper is always moving around when the wind is blowing. Especially, in today's video. Anyhow, If you put your Jack's down on your camper and slightly put pressure on them it will stabilize your camper dramatically. Great for windy days or just walking around in your camper. Hope this helps.
Cat - I installed some velcro web netting on my upper pantry cabinets in my camper. It saves stuff from falling out when you open the cabinet and you can easily remove them when you need via the velcro. Super economical as well!
I'm a truck driver, and cook a lot of meals. If I have large boxes of food I put it in large zip lock bags. I cut the directions out of the box. Stick the directions in a small zip lock fold and place in the larger bag. Cuts way down on space.
