Welderbeth Centers Her Heartspace

Posted on 11/18/2017 by welderbeth • Leave a comment

I think the first time that I actually tried yoga was in college. I can’t exactly remember because I was distracted by two things. Many of the class members were linebackers for the A&M football team. Apparently, flexibility is important in football or some nonsense. It was very difficult for me to focus on my … Continue reading →

Swim Shirts: A Body Image Case Study

Posted on 06/27/2017 by welderbeth • Leave a comment

An actual conversation between me and my 12 year old son: “WOW! Your bellybutton looks HUGE in that!” “Okay, son. Do you get to comment on women’s bodies if they don’t ask you to? No, that’s right. I didn’t ask you for feedback- good or bad. You get to run around with your shirt off, … Continue reading →

I Have Alot of Gall (Still)

A week and a half ago, I had my very first adult visit to the ER. I thought I was having a heart attack. I wasn’t. Let me back up. Just a day before, The Kid and I had just returned from a very fun but very exhausting trip to Washington state. So, it was … Continue reading →

The Secret to My Athletic Prowess

(If you just received a blog email update with a picture of baby legs and the word, “WHY?” in your inbox, you don’t need to read any further. You got the gist of it. That, and I don’t know how to use the WordPress App.) I haven’t gone running in about eight months, since The … Continue reading →

Catching a Ball with My Face

Posted on 10/16/2015 by welderbeth • 4 Comments

My family went and played wiffle ball last night. While my son (heretofore referred to as The Kid) was up to bat, Alex pitched and I played outfield. One of The Kid’s hits was a fly ball. He popped it directly in the sky, where it flew right towards me. As it hurled towards my … Continue reading →

29 for my 29th

Did you know that, in some countries, you are considered 1 year old when you are born? It’s true. Sometimes, refugee families come in to my work and they tell me that the child with the pacifier and the diaper who is barely verbal is three years old. So, then we have to get the … Continue reading →

Welderbeth Does a Triathlon

Posted on 04/16/2014 by welderbeth • 1 Comment

On Sunday morning, three alarms went off at 5:15am. There was a cacophony of tweeping and chirping and beeping as we lumbered out of bed to turn them off. We were paranoid that, if we just set one alarm, it wouldn’t go off and we would miss our very first sprint triathlon. After eating a … Continue reading →

Beth and Becca Join the Circus

Posted on 02/14/2014 by welderbeth • 2 Comments

A few weeks ago, Groupon sent me an email about a deal they were running for “circus classes”. It was only $20 for 2 classes. Now, I grew up in a relatively small town in West Texas, where  your options for entertainment were bowling, putt-putt, or taking 2 hours for your group of six to … Continue reading →

Building a Raised Bed Garden in 147 Easy Steps

Posted on 02/26/2013 by welderbeth • 3 Comments

Decide you want a garden in your backyard. Wait approximately 47 weeks, until your dad sends you a text message telling you that you need to do it now or not at all. Wait two more weeks. Choose a Saturday when you and your husband aren’t cooking dinner for 2 million people. On that Saturday, … Continue reading →
