Is Homeschooling Hard on Your Eyes?
Ok, what is this woman talking about anyway! lol Let me explain... our home is low light and one of my daily battles when we were still homeschooling was trying to find more light sources to illuminate our work space. During the daytime hours, our home is especially dim, even with the blinds open wide. Turning on extra lighting didn't help at all. I would constantly go back and forth between opening the blinds and turning down the lights (which would have escaped the windows anyway) and closing the blinds and turning on every light in our house! lol Despite the fact that our house is only 1400 square feet, we have exceptionally high ceilings... so that might have been part of my problem.
Does anyone else have this problem? If so, what has your solution been? Curious homeschoolers want to know! lol

To an extent, yes. We do open windows here, often. Our home is only 1200 sq. ft and also has VERY high ceilings. The house faces North/East and because of the way it's designed we get more light coming in from the East and ds's room the West. Most of our homeschooling is done in our master bedroom but if it gets too dim as it does in the Winter, we're opening windows and turning on lights and playing musical rooms as the day progresses, dependig on where most of the light is at the time. Plus, a lot of our work is done on the computer, which is in the master bedroom and thus,we don't have much of a choice. So, you see, it all depends.... :)
