Not as pretty as my cone from the other day, but the ice cream of the day is chocolate peanut butter + Oreos

Buying an ice cream maker was a great decision 😂

Another Sunday calls for more math ➕

I feel like I've only scratched the surface of reviewing linear algebra, but I'm already having a blast
Leah is holding up a Kindle scribe above a blue comforter. The Kindle has a linear algebra textbook pulled up on the screen. The page has practice problems listed at the top for calculating a unit vector and then below that is Leah’s scratch work for solving those problems.

I went on two hikes today and ended up hiking 7.2 miles in total

It was much needed and a beautiful day, but I can barely feel my legs now 😂
