Melanie Dale on how to calm the heck down, parenting, and motherhood

How do we learn to calm the heck down?  I'm with my hilarious, horror-movie loving friend Melanie Dale and we are talking about the book she swore she'd never write. Melanie share why she ended up writing a parenting book after all and that title just may be perfect for every parent during this global pandemic, "Calm The Heck Down"! We have a great time getting honest about topics on marriage, parenting, work, and Melanie tells all on this fun episode.   She also shares: -How she ran accidentally in a 15K (really!)   -How we can drop the expectations and stop majoring in the minors. -The 90s show she's letting her kids currently binge with her.   In this episode I answer these questions: 1. Should I let my son play with toy guns? My husband says yes but I’m not so sure (46:45) 2. Is it wrong for Christians to watch rated R movies? (49:34)    Favorite quote: Whether you work from home, you work out in the world, or you are a stay at home mom and you're working in that capacity, I think the idea of communicating the value of work to our kids is important.
