It is just about that time, friends! School is almost over and the summer is ready to begin! What better way to make the transition than with a fun party?! Yet, we are all busy moms and there isn't a lot of time or energy to put into planning something special. If you are anything like me, I have the best of intentions, but I often get overwhelmed by the planning and organizing of a fun memory. So, here is my simple, no-guilt list of ideas that are easy and fun. They are intentionally low-stress, so you can enjoy your family and friends!

4. Family Pizza Party- Invite families over and ask each one to bring their favorite pizza. Make a big salad, chill some drinks, set up some tables outside and you are ready to go!
