The bowl in the linen closet

I don’t know where the stainless mixing bowl came from, but it has been in our linen closet since we moved in back in 2001. I’ve always used it to hold little things that could always get lost, like a junk drawer for toiletries. A roll of that waterproofing tape used when installing a new shower head mixed with o.b. tampons, a backup gasket for the Tubshroom, one of those metal keys to squeeze the last bits from a tube of toothpaste.

When we had our child, the bowl ended up being a place for the thermometer, baby nail clippers, nasal aspirator, backup pacifiers, and the tube of Boudreaux’s Butt Paste.
