It’s raining, it’s pouring. Ok, ok, it’s not, but it was raining and pouring all day yesterday. That’s Spring in Minnesota. I love a good rain day inside the house. Movies on. Fireplace on. A big cup of coffee and lots of snuggles. Perfection.
But when I have to run around with both boys, pouring rain is a downer. I’ve started investing in clothing and gear that makes running in and out with both kids a bit easier. Bodhi has a fabulous umbrella. Both boys have great rain boots (and so do I). And I was recently sent this cute and stylish New Englander Rain Jacket from Charles River Apparel (available here) which was a lifesaver yesterday as I ran from preschool pickup to Target and back to my son’s school for family night followed by running over to a nearby pizza place for a group pizza party and then out to the car again before finally landing at home for a cozy night in.
I received the coral jacket which I love and it comes in gorgeous colors like mint and buttercup as well. Not only is the jacket eye-catching, but it is also functional with a hood, mesh lining for air-flow circulation and heat-sealed seams to seal out wind and rain.
The New Englander Rain Jacket is available at retailers such as Marley Lilly for $54.
Good news! One lucky reader is going to win a jacket in the color of your choice.

coral! My favorite thing to do is bake something yummy with the help of the kids and watching them lick the spoon.
Super cute!! Love the jacket!

My fave thing to do on a rainy day is sit on the patio to work. There’s something about listening to the rain while I brainstorm on my computer. :)
I like the aqua and mint color jackets.

I love the color of that coat! Almost as much as I love that little lady killer and his beautiful momma!
That color looks great on you!
Oops, just realized I didn’t answer the questions- I like going to the movies or shopping on rainy days. I’d probably choose the coral color jacket, as well.
Adorable jacket. I love the color.
I am actually in the market for a raincoat as I have cute boots but need a fun coat. I love going out IN the rain with my daughter & jumping puddles – what can I say, I’m just a big kid but it’s soooooo much fun! ;)
We do too! My big boy and I have went “puddle jumping” for years. Such fun!
My favorite rainy day activity is to stay inside and read or watch a movie. I like the navy colored rain jacket.
I love the hot pink or the wave colored coats. my personal favorite way to spend a rainy day is reading, but Waverly has really enjoyed splashing in her pink boots so I just can’t resist the adorable.
Yes, the kiddos definitely tempt you to go outside and they make it SO hard to actually read or quietly watch a movie. ;)
My favorite thing to do on a rainy day is commute by skyway and watch the weather. I like the yellow, but really any coat with reflective features is fantastic.. especially on a rainy day.
Windows open and game night. I most like the red color.
I love the hot pink :) My favourite activity I must admit is sitting inside curled up with a book listening to the rain come down. But sometimes you have to venture outside and this jacket would make things much cheerier! x

My favorite rainy day activity is watching Netflix in bed or reading a book with a cup of coffee at our local coffee shop!

On rainy days I love to snuggle up under a cozy blanket on the couch & enjoy a mug of hot chocolate! We like to crack our windows to hear the soothing sound of a light rain makes being under the blanket feel that much cozier w a light cool breeze in the house. :) My favorite color is the coral, so cute on you lady!!
I just got my boys rain jackets so it only makes since that I get one too – crossing my fingers!
Quilting with Grandma! I like all the colors, but Wave is probably my favorite.
