RAIN ON ME!
We’ve had our fair share of rainy days this summer in Maine. I’ve found the best way to make the most of the rain and keep my spirits high is to embrace the wet stuff! Play outside in the puddles, go for a walk with an umbrella or even ride your bike in the rain. Later, you can curl up and dry off inside with a good book or a movie knowing you didn’t let the rain stop you from enjoying your day!

When it’s raining, I love to take a nap! The noises of the rain hitting the roof/windows/gutters is so steady that I can’t help but fall asleep without my mind going into overdrive like it normally does if I try to lay down for a nap. That is my favorite rainy day activity! :)

RAIN ON ME.
My favorite thing to do on a rainy day involves my children since they need major distractions when they can’t go outside!
We like to build tents with the kitchen chairs and blankets and then we color, build legos, have tea parties, etc. in our tent. Heck, we do this on sunny days too!

I used to love reading indoors. Now? I slowly go insane while I try to keep my three-year-old occupied. Usually watching Ratatouille or Cars for the seven millionth time.

My little nephew was so excited to dance in the rain with his new “brella” — sounds like a good plan to me!
Shanee says
RAIN ON ME!
Well I’m a big fan of rainy days because it feels like finally the world takes it slow and while a bit sobering, it just seems that people are more enjoyable. I love rain days so much that combined with my daughter’s name, Ireland, I have come up with the perfect name to home-based business (When I finally start one) . Rain Led. Same letters as Ireland and honestly, started on a rainy day(well the idea. LOL)
