Parents! Feel like you’re missing out on your kids’ lives while also never having enough time for yourself? Career pressures, shuttling kids around, volunteer commitments, and the endless tasks of caring for your home all place enormous demands on your time and energy, leading to guilt, stress, and ultimately regret. And while you’re trying to tend to your own self-care while also being a present parent who prioritizes family connection, your kids are growing up way too fast.

In 15-minutes or less, this weekly podcast helps busy parents prioritize their relationships, be more present and intentional with family time, and build a lasting legacy of love—without neglecting their own well-being or feeling regret later in life.


Leveraging their 20+ years of parenting experience raising three thriving kids and leading and mentoring hundreds of children, youth, and families in volunteer church positions, hosts Anthony and Jennifer Craiker teach parents on a tight schedule how to balance work and family, create unbreakable family bonds, prevent parent burnout, and find joy in parenting.


If you’re ready to prioritize family time each day without feeling overwhelmed, you can count on this show to teach you how to be fully present with your kids, build lasting memories, prioritize your spouse, make dinner time count, connect with your kids after work, stop missing precious moments, discover intentional family time ideas, and so much more—all while learning how to implement quick self-care tips, create an intentional family legacy, and parent with no regret.

  • Avoid Parent Burnout with this Easy Intentional Parenting Idea

    Avoid Parent Burnout with this Easy Intentional Parenting Idea
    2025/12/19

    What if the parenting stress you feel isn’t from parenting itself, but from being the only one holding everything together?

    So many busy parents fall into the quiet habit of carrying the entire load—the dishes, the laundry, the dog, the clutter, the schedules—while hoping their kids will “just pitch in.” But without clear expectations, kids don’t know how to help, and parents end up exhausted, frustrated, and burned out.

    In this episode, we’re sharing simple, practical strategies for teaching responsibility, building teamwork, and creating a strong family culture where everyone contributes. Not through power struggles or punishment, but through clarity, consistency, and intentional parenting practices that help your kids grow in confidence—and help you reclaim time, energy, and peace and stop feeling overwhelmed, avoiding mom guilt and dad guilt in the process. Effective parenting is more than time management; it's life management.

    WHILE LISTENING, YOU’LL LEARN:

    • How to clearly communicate household expectations so your kids take ownership without nagging or conflict
    • Practical tools like chore rotations, 30-minute cleanups, and predictable routines that boost responsibility and reduce parent burnout and parent anxiety

We're here to help ease your parenting anxiety so that you can stop feeling overwhelmed, find joy in your parenting journey, and build family bonds that last for generations. Here at Parents Making Time, we are all about that parent-child connection, self-care for parents, and helping you overcome mom guilt and dad guilt.

  • Do Tiny Traditions Really Boost Family Connection?

    Do Tiny Traditions Really Boost Family Connection?
    2025/12/05

    What if the strongest memories your kids carry into adulthood come not from vacations, but from small everyday traditions at home?

    We often think family traditions are reserved for holidays — Christmas, birthdays, vacations — but research shows that everyday rituals and routines play a powerful role in shaping family culture, kids’ identity, emotional wellbeing, and long-term connection. When life gets busy, family bonding often takes a back seat. Days pass fast, and before we know it, we’re missing chances to create connection in the ordinary moments.

    The truth? You don’t need more time — just intentional family activities and micro rituals that anchor your home in love and belonging.

    BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

    • How simple routines become meaningful family traditions that strengthen family culture.
    • Real examples of family activities you can start this week for deeper connection (no holidays needed!).
    • How traditions help kids feel seen, stable, loved — and why that supports long-term bonding.

    In this episode of Parents Making Time we share some of our favorite traditions from raising our three kids: Friday movie night, bedtime gratitude, Sunday calls, special birthday rituals, and seasonal traditions we still look forward to every year. You’ll leave with practical ideas to build family culture and connection inside your home — even if you're short on time.
