I don’t want this.” And as a parent herself, Catherine has...

Andy Dunn co-founded Bonobos, a revolutionary menswear ecommerce brand. But, behind the scenes, he was struggling with bipolar disorder. “Here’s the real story of what was going on, which I think was a heckuva lot more interesting than selling pants on the internet,” he says in a new episode of The Mentor Files.  In 2016, Andy says he hit an all-time low that caused him to confront his diagnosis head-on. At the time, his sister, Monica, was one of the few people who knew what was really going on. Now,...

 Welcoming three babies while living far away from family taught me many things—including some effective tips and tricks for making those trips less of a trip. All told, we’ve spent countless hours in the car, on planes, and walking circles through airport terminals in the pursuit of some worthwhile family time. Along the way, I honed my list of must-have baby essentials for traveling.  Now, I’m not going to venture as far as saying that traveling with a baby is easy even when you have the right products. But being...

When Jamie and Fillip Hord from Horderly reached out to us announcing the news of their first baby and wanting to use Monica + Andy marketplace items in their nursery, you can imagine how excited we were. We totally geek out about a well decorated and well organized nursery (it's fun to enjoy it while it lasts 😅). With the big launch of our cribs, nursery decor, changing tables, and nursing chairs, we agreed to help them turn their guest bedroom into their dream nursery.  We sat down with Jamie Hord,...

When it comes to creating an Insta-worthy charcuterie spread, it's not as challenging as it may look. Charcuterie is a very popular summer appetizer, so we had our social media manager / expert charcuterie maker, Taylor, share a few tips on how you can DIY your own board for all your summer hosting.  With Monica + Andy's brand new Charcuterie + Wine Night prints that debuted, it was the perfect time to understand how to turn that print into a reality.
