I am definitely working on paying more attention to what is presently happening around me, and not my phone. I’ve been stuck in “always available” mode for work since 2000 and it’s beginning to wear thin. I would love to say that articles like this one finally woke me up, but honestly, I think I’m just plain exhausted. If you aren’t close to hitting rock bottom, maybe this article will help you acknowledge that you too are a distracted parent.

My husband does not like to eat outdoors. The flies always manage to find his plate. I love it and will certainly be keeping this list in mind when we travel. There’s one in the city I hope to check out this Summer too.

Shop Local!
The Montgomery Friends Farmers’ Market is held every Saturday through Mid-October, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in the outer parking lot of the Village Shopper, Route 206 just north of Route 518 in Montgomery Township. Look for the wooden shed! We are in the same shopping center as PTS and Village Shoes – directly across the street from the Montgomery Cinema.

Lenape Swim Club
What to do the Friday after school is out? Well, I for one am not going to stay in the house and go insane. The Lenape Swim Club (off of 518) is hosting a no cost Open House for members and non members on Friday, June 24th from 12-8pm. I will be there checking out the scene. For Lenape Swim Club rates please visit their site here: lenapeswimclub.com. In talking with two families about the Swim Club it sounds like a great place to join. The families get along well and the kids have a blast. My only hesitation is that my Summer Swim Club budget is -$25.00 so I don’t know about scrounging up the $700+ needed for first time members.
