So Iā€™ve become a YouTube addict. This just happened recently. Iā€™m not proud of it. I mean, I would be if I was actually watching tutorials on ā€œHow to improve your lifeā€ or ā€œMastering the art of codingā€ or maybe even ā€œHow to become a millionaire overnightā€ or some shit like that but nope. Not this girl.

You know what Iā€™m watching?

Besides the obvious (hint-itā€™s in the title). Weekly/monthly/daily horoscopes, Sheena Melwani, puppy shorts and cruise ship disasters (donā€™t ask).

Yup. I take my iPad to bed with full intention of putting on a soothing guided meditation and I find myself lost in a world of useless and mindless videos for over an hour.

Every now and then Iā€™ll watch a video of sweet JoJo from SuperNanny. Theyā€™re short. 3ā€“7 minutes from some random episode. One clip leads to another and before you know, Iā€™ve watched over an hour of kids screaming, moms crying and dads losing their marbles.

Good times.

Donā€™t ask me why Iā€™m hooked on these. The best answer I can give is that I love conflict resolution and she does it so well. Sheā€™s my secret idol. I also learn a lot from her. Not just in her parentingā€¦
