Youtube 

We are very familiar with Youtube. Our kids are constantly watching their favorite TV characters or random videos of toy reviews but there is more to Youtube for adults than you might have thought. Youtube is a great platform for learning new things. The search button is an endless portal to many great educational videos in various subject groups such as gardening, DIY home decor, cooking recipes, and the list goes on. The fun aspect of Youtube is the trial and error of finding the right channel for your interest. Once you‘ve found the right channel it’s all a matter of clicking the subscribe button to your new-found channel and stay tuned for the latest videos.
