Show and Tell - Junk Drawer

| | Comments (11)
Blackbird's show and tell is at the request of Chantal who wanted to see our junk drawers. I am trying so hard to get organized and keep things cleaned out that I don't have a big junk drawer like one might find in the kitchen when we lived in the townhouse.

This junk drawer is in the cocktail table in the living room. It has ink pens, pencils, tape, various sized batteries, and odd papers I haven't gotten rid of yet because, well, I haven't. No other reason. There is also a spare watch band and a drill bit. A drill bit Steven asked for several months ago and has yet to open much less actually use. Some of you may remember from an earlier show and tell my husbands junk drawer in our bedroom in his nightstand. It is not a typical junk drawer. Not at all. This is a special junk drawer just for him.

This is my husbands junk food drawer. I keep it filled with snacks and things just for him lest the kids eat everything and when he wants something it is all gone. We should all be so lucky to have someone fill the junk drawer with lovely things of junk for us. Like chocolates and mints and cookies and chocolates and coffee and coupons for bubble baths and magazines and tall cool drinks for moments when a child isn't needing us. Alas, this is not a perfect world and no one does that for those of us who do that for them.

And if Steven doesn't take that hint, alas, there is no hope for him.

Oh, this post is so you, Angie.

In every way, and that's a good thing.

No way would I ever show any of my many junk drawers.

I can say that there is no junk food drawer or cupboard and that is something I've done deliberately and am proud of. I'm trying to take charge of my family's health once and for all! : )

Steven's snacks look relatively healthy, though.

it's amazing the stuff we hold on to, isn't it?
the drawer in the living room? amazing...

How did I miss this show and tell?! All my drawers at home are junk drawers. ; )

You are the sweetest to Steven.

Steven gives new meaning to "junk Drawer" I want one like his- but full of chocolate wonders!

I love that your livingroom junk drawer is full of batteries and tool bits!

If you were ever to see my junk drawer I would die of embarassment!!
When the girls were little they had a junk drawer much like Steven's. It kept them busy :)


~K!

The junk food drawer reminds me of my grandmother's bread box. She always kept it stocked for us with all kinds of Little Debbie snacks. It was my paradise when I was a child! :)
