We’ve done a rain dance, we’ve washed the cars (that always makes rain come!), and we’ve turned off the sprinklers in hopes that rain will be coming our way in Southern California! Alas, we’re still waiting for our first big storm but when it does come, Mama’s crew is dressed and ready for the raindrops to fall on our head…urrr…our stylish umbrellas! Mama’s top rain picks will leave you both stylish and dry…because you can’t have one without the other!!!
- Kidorable is Adorable — okay, so Kidorable has the cutest, latest styles for boys, girls and babies that it’s almost impossible to choose just one. In the end, Lily chose the new Lucky Cat style but I tried to talk her into the Ladybug style — like the one little Suri Cruise was seen sporting. For boys, the frogs are so cute or try the new Space Hero for your little NASA hopeful. Each style features a coordinating rainboot, jacket and umbrella. There is also a boys and girls “My Firsts” collection for babies in either the Ladybug or Frog styles. Loving Kidorable right now because they’re also giving away one umbrella to a lucky Everyday Mama reader — your choice! See details below on how to enter. That’s not all — they are also supporting Toys for Tots for the holidays. For every person that becomes a Kidorable Facebook Fan between Nov. 1 and Dec. 25 they will donate $1 to the cause and an additional 250 umbrellas if they reach their goal of 2,500 fans by Christmas. Available at www.kidorable.com, $13.50 and up. Oh and if you follow them on Twitter, you’ll get a code for a free umbrella!
- Hands-free Umbrella — perfect for any multi-tasking Mama in need of both hands. This great invention leaves you with both hands and keeps you dry — I just love it! Available at Brellabag.com, $19.95.
- From Jacket to Bag and Back — that’s right a jacket that’s also a bag! The Monsoon to Market Jacket from Core Concepts converts from a rain jacket to a sling-style purse with a button down flap and extra pocket for essentials. Available in mint and plum colors at www.corelayers.com, $130.
- Dry Feet — nothing like soggy socks and shoes to make you wish the rain away! Next time this happens, check out Stuffitts Shoe Savers. Made of 100 percent Cedar, Stuffitts are the only all natural way to rid your shoes of moisture, bacteria and stink. Available at Stuffitts.com, $24.95.
- Welly Socks — keep your feet warm and dry starting from the inside. These super soft fleece socks from Hunter will go perfect with any of your favorite boots or Wellies. Available in a variety of colors at Nordstrom.com, $30.
- Mama & Me Boots — go puddle jumping together with these matching boots for Mama and baby girl. Two styles are currently available from Kamik at DLLRainwear.com, $69.90 for the set.
With any luck, Lily and Mama will be singing “Raindrops are falling on my head…” before next year!

Don’t forget to also become a Facebook Fan of Kidorable so you can help Toys for Tots because Tis the Season for giving!!!
My philosophy is simple: just because you're a mom doesn't mean you have to forgo style or your life. You can do it all with a little help from Mama. Mama makes life easier by doing all the shopping, crafting and ranting for you because really...what Mama has the time for that?! Mama will not lie, I can bake but if you're looking for cooking tips you might be better off going someplace else!
o0o0o cuteeee!! The Houndstooth umbrella is probably my favorite…girly and cute
