Today is the last day of school for my boys so we’re officially starting summer tomorrow! If you’re like me and already worried about the endless cries of “we’re bored, Mom!” I shared some fun ideas on how to keep the kids entertained HERE.

One of my favorite things about summer is the relaxing evenings spent at home with family or friends, hanging out in the backyard near the barbeque and enjoying each others’ company.

So today I thought I’d share some fun summer entertaining ideas with you, to help you be prepared for those upcoming barbeques and get-together’s. I’m loving the color combo of red, blue and yellow for summer, so that’s the inspiration for these summer entertaining must-have’s.
