Which is why we’re super excited to bring you this week’s giveaway sponsored by The Rain Barrel Company. They sell a range of pro-sustainability products (composters, etc.) and this week they’re offering up one of their namesake products to one lucky reader…
Yup it’s a fancy pre-made professional rain barrel which means you all can jump on the collect-your-own-rainwater bandwagon with us without even having to go barrel diving like I did.

Oh and you can learn more about these amazing pre-made rain barrels on the Rain Barrel Company website since the winner gets their pick of the bunch:

- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “RAIN ON ME!” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: Tell us your favorite way to make the most of a rainy day. Do you catch a movie? Curl up with a book (or blog)? Or just sit and dream about filling up a rain barrel?

Amy says
Rain on ME!
I spend rainy days trying to think of something fun to do with my small boy… indoor picnics usually, following by turning the picnic blanket into a fort. C’mon, who wouldn’t want to spend a rainy day in a fort playing with transformers? :)

RAIN ON ME!
Rain days are usually spent one of two ways – either on the couch with the hubs and some good movies, or in the kitchen, baking up a storm! It works out well when the baking comes first, and then there’s a snack for movie time :)

Rain on me!
I love rainy days, the wilder the better, and my favorite way to spend them is to don a good waterproof and go out for a walk. When my daughter was a toddler she would insist on going out on our deck in the rain and would then proceed to dance. It must be genetic!
