Every year, checking the water level for our Christmas tree is a minor hassle. It's hard to get close enough to see it, especially when you're refilling and don't want the water to overflow. This year, a hollow plastic ornament fell into the stand, and I realized it helps out by acting as a float. I wish this had happened years ago.

My 8 year old decided that all the mushroom ornaments should hang in a clump, since that's how they grow in real life

I wasn't sure it would be done before Christmas. Can you tell which parts are easiest for the kids to reach?

Test photo post of a #WIPArtwork and establishing the hashtag #ImageWithAltText to alert users who can’t tell if alt-text has been added that there is alt-text for the readers.

Some platforms have not gotten an alt text indicator yet (like Mastodon main app for iOS).

One of my kids is celebrating their birthday today. It's about a month late, as they were waiting for the perfect day: no school, no extracurriculars, no plans other than just enjoying a full day of birthday fun. They requested either Timbits or Froot Loops for breakfast; somehow, we ended up with 4 ridiculous breakfast cereals.

Making progress with trimming the tree. I've learned that putting up the lights is faster for my short self if I don't have to keep on moving one stool around the tree

Finding a little garden growing on the underside of the sticky inner cover of a bottle of herbs is a delightful surprise each time
