- 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?

I think we all need rainy days from time to time as a reminder that we don’t have to spend every minute actively doing something! It’s a perfect time for curling up on the couch with a book, catching up on some writing projects, or watching cheesy Lifetime movies without any guilt!
