My Favorite Online Workouts

In: Life on: January 25, 2023

Last year I gave up the gym. And long walks outside. Why? I couldn’t sustain the motivation for them. I needed something else. Something to occupy both mind and body in a different way. For me, that comes back to some sort of …

Playing by Heart Cover Reveal!

In: Book Extras, Writing on: January 19, 2023

When I rebranded in 2021 as the real me—D’Ann Mateer instead of Anne Mateer—I was able to get my rights back to my Bethany House novels in order to do this. Three of them are currently available—Wings of a Dream, At Every …

New Year, New Routine

In: Family, Writing on: January 11, 2023

Introverts and the Christmas Season

In: Faith on: December 14, 2022

Where are my fellow introverts? I know you’re out there, but you’re probably hunkered down with a blanket over your head. Why do I know? Because I am, too! Christmas party season just wears me out. It’s not even from the …

Meet Dolly the Mini-Bernedoodle!

In: Family on: December 8, 2022

It’s been a long time coming, but we finally brought our new puppy home the Thursday before Thanksgiving. You might know from some previous mentions here or on social media that this wasn’t my idea. In fact, on social media …

November Reads

In: Reading on: November 29, 2022

It’s been a month, to say the least. But the silver lining of all the unexpected travel to Pennsylvania and the long holiday weekend has been reading time. I couldn’t quite wrap my mind around Christmas reading during the …
