GrandCrazy Boutique Owner Talks Grandparenting 
on Dr. Phil Show

Minnetonka, MN, March 23, 2010 --(PR.com)-- On March 22nd, Jan Filer, a grandparenting boutique owner from Plymouth, MN appeared on the Dr. Phil Show with Phil’s wife Robin for a segment discussing their upcoming roles as first-time grandparents. Dr. Phil and Robin’s son and daughter-in-law have just had their first child. The segment touched on Robin’s obsession with grandmotherhood, Phil and Robin’s ideas about their ‘grandparent names‘ and other joys of being ‘GrandCrazy.’

Jan Filer was selected as the guest for this segment based on her expertise on the subject of grandparenthood. Filer’s boutique, Grand Crazy, evolved almost simultaneously with the birth of her first grandchild. The combination of Filer’s business expertise, social nature and passion as a new grandmother allowed her to create a first-of-its kind community and shopping experience focused on grandparenting. “Creating an online community connecting other grandparents became my focus,” said Filer. “I knew that I was not the only crazy grandparent out there so I was on a mission to unite my people! I think Dr. Phil and Robin recognized my passion for being a grandparent and hopefully appreciated the idea behind my business,” said Filer.

During the segment, Filer, aka Grammy, inquires about the ubiquitous question each new grandparent must ask...‘what to be called?’. “Robin has a charming idea for a grandparent name but Dr. Phil remains undecided,” said Filer. “I had come across a darling new book called You Can Call Me Hoppa! The Grandparents’ Guide to Choosing a Name that Fits and made sure to get it to them right away!”

Filer’s online community and boutique astutely responds to the burgeoning population of Boomer grandparents eager to play a role in their grandchildren’s lives. “I have found that our Boomer peers are delighted by the fun array of goodies we offer and thrilled at the chance to share their grandparent joy with other grandparents!” said Filer. “It was truly a treat to be on the show representing a population of grandparents having fun being Grand.”

The Grand Crazy family includes an online boutique and community and a physical boutique located in The Mall of America. Grand Crazy is dedicated to grandparents, aunts, uncles, siblings and the wonderful moms and dads to be that make us Grands. www.GrandCrazy.com
