We are three women who created this game for a very simple reason: to give caring, loving grandparents - like you - a fun way to spend time with your grandchildren that will keep the kids laughing while enriching your relationships.
Our collaboration started with necessity becoming the grandmother of invention. Lori was a new boomer grandparent looking for ways to share quality time with her grandchildren. She found plenty of fun games to play, but none that celebrated grandparenting. Hence, the collaboration with Ronnie and Dana, who were mothers/stepmothers/aunts looking for equally meaningful experiences with their families. With a little research we discovered we weren’t alone: there were 77.6 million baby-boomers heading into their grandparent years! A game designed for grandparents was long overdue.
So, we three entrepreneurial women – a high-profile publicist, an Emmy award-winning TV writer/producer, and a top-rated children’s designer of toys, jewelry and novelties - formed the company Grand&Me, Inc. Our goal is to create high-quality products to enrich the grandparenting experience, and “To Grandma’s House We Go!” is our very first baby. We hope you and your grandchildren enjoy many happy hours playing our game! | |

Lori
For the past 25 years, Lori Henry has been a publicist, special projects and events fund raiser, political strategist and creative manager for a variety of public interest projects in the arts, education, and international human rights. A hip energetic and proud grandmother of 5, she is also a contributing editor to GRAND, the only magazine for boomer grandparents. For the past several years she has been the publicist of the highly-acclaimed film, INNOCENT VOICES, and she is now producing a coming of age movie about a group of young kids who find themselves through rock and roll, called THE BLACK DOGS. In development is her second feature film, GRANDMA ROCKS. "Being a grandmother is a second chance of motherhood, but in such a unique way, suddenly you are looking, talking and dealing with your BABY's "children." It takes you backwards and then delivers you forwards all at once… There isn't another feeling that comes close. It's simply the BEST!” | |
