STAYING INDOORS With simple changes you can brighten up family life and soak in more beneficial daylight – without the fuss of decamping from home. Time for a couple of extra jobs around the home? Polishing up your window panes helps let in maximum daylight for energizing results. Or position your dining table next to a sunny window, if possible. This furniture move helps everyone soak up nourishing bursts of daylight. GLORIOUS GARDENS Making the effort to move small snippets of life outdoors is well worth it. Families who’ve invested in garden furniture could aim to sit outdoors seven days a week (weather allowing), and not just on special occasions or weekends. Taking snacks outdoors is a good way to soak up natural light, with the added bonus of saving carpets from crumbs. Reading or creating art together outside, bundled up under ablanket ifthe breeze sets in, also reduces screen time and ups children’s natural light quota. LIGHT FANTASTIC Always look on the bright side – even on cloudy days, outdoor light is lots brighter than indoor lighting.
