Give me some natural light! I need it. My body needs it. My sanity needs it. My daily dose of vitamin D. The first thing I do in the morning is open all the shades. Absolutely first thing. Then I tend my kids; then I make the beds; then I eat breakfast. When we were searching for homes, one of the things that we wanted was a south-side facing home with energy efficient windows . Not only good feng shui, but we get natural light in the house all day and the windows trap with warmth in. Honestly, there is nothing better. With good natural light, I do not like to turn indoor lights on at all during the day and I rarely have to put the heating system on. Even if a room can use a little brightness, I still wait until it’s dark outside. Glad we have a sunroom–that’s room I soak up all the rays while indoors.
We must be related. I completely agree. First things first, open the blinds, check and then the rest of the day can begin. I think Mom does this as well.
Do you ever catch your kids basking in the heat from a window? We have a house full of windows with those luminette shades on them that let the light in but maintain privacy, I catch the kids lying in the direct sunlight often, I love it! What a powerful thing is the sun!
Oh, I agree with you. I need the sunlight too.
I’m exactly the same way too! Last week we only had 6 minutes of sunshine in 4 days…I thought I was going to die.
i totally agree. give me sunshine!
Loving the sunshine days all the day long. I too need it. However today is all about snow- can you believe it finally really snowed?!
I’m so glad you have a sunroom too!
