When baby Aden (A等宝宝) joined the family, Andie and Kate decided to launch their own online video platform "Kandie Family" to share their experiences of bringing up a family in a holistic yet humorous manner. Kandie Media currently includes Facebook, Instagram and YouTube via the name Kandie Family.[2]
