Jen

My two year old came to me with a pinched finger

2 year old: Owie, mommy!

Me: Do you want me to kiss it better? 😘

2 year old: No.

Me: Do you want a hug? 🤗

2 year old: No.

Me: What do you want?

2 year old (with a grin): Fruit Snacks. 😁

Red carpet with white tangent circles overlapping gold squares.

I'm at a conference and one of the speakers commented on the #symmetry in the carpet. #MathPhoto25

Seed packet for marigolds. The estimated height is listed as 12 feet instead of 12 inches.

I don't know that I want 12 FOOT tall marigolds. 🌼 #ITeachMath #UnitsAreImportant

I woke up to Apple Puff pancake, orange julius, a set table, swept floor, a running dishwasher, and 4 adorable girls in aprons helping each other. 💕. What a lovely Mother's Day.

Kids are watching BYUtv instead of Saturday morning cartoons. A preview for the lovely 1995 "Sense and Sensibility" comes on.

Me: I love this show.
10 year old girl: Emma?
13 year old boy: Pomp and Circumstance?

In 2024, there were about 1.8 million registered voters in Utah, so that changes the denominator when calculating the percentage. So, roughly 17.7% of registered voters signed the referendum.

Utah has a population of a little over 3.5 million. That means a little under 10% of the population signed the referendum.

320,000 signatures. More than double what was needed. Thank you, people of Utah.

Teenage daughter just fangirled over a YouTube performer. It took me about 10 seconds to realize that I had just watched a video of the same performer. What? Is it possible that we might have the same taste in music?

Understanding the "mathiness" of the current administration's tariffs.

Matt Parker is an awesome Australian mathematician who lives in the UK. I've enjoyed several of his videos and even referenced a couple in my masters project.

Quilt block made of Fall colors. There are four sets of flying geese. One set of opposite corners are quarter square triangles, the other set of opposite corners are blank. There is a large blank square in the middle.

Just finished January's block for this year's SewEasyBoM quilt by LadyBug Threads. This block is called "Flock Around the Block".

🎶 YMCA, Boot Skootin' Boogie, The Electric Slide, Cotton Eye Joe, the Chicken Dance 🎵

I don't know what type of music they'll be playing at my son's first stake dance, but he'd be ready for a 90s stake dance.

And just with that little exert, I need to go read this memoir again. Good thing I know right where it is in our library.

This may the first social media platform that I got to before you did. (I'm remembering Blogger, LiveJournal, etc.)

My needs and wants sometimes get all messed up in my brain. For example, this afternoon I needed a nap. Then I wanted to read some more of my book. And now I need to know how it ends.

Wow! I may be slow to have joined Bluesky, but it's nice to find all the math people I once followed from that other website. I look forward to learning from all of you again. #ITeachMath
