Fancy Nancy – is this a Champagne Living in-training show?

ADMISSION: When I was invited to the Ant-Man and the Wasp event last month I took issue with the fact that I would also be covering a children’s show. I BALKED. I more than balked. I stated that there was NO WAY that a kids show belongs on Champagne Living. At that point I had not heard of Fancy Nancy. My son was 18 years old when the first book appeared, and I have no grand-daughters (YET). I was planning on backing out of the entire press junket, because I believe that if a product or experience is not a good fit, then it doesn’t belong here.

Then I learned a bit about this Fancy Nancy gal…

Turns our she’s a mini-me. She’s loves all things French, and ADORES being fancy. Plus, there are lessons to be learned in each episode. How ~~Champagne Living~~ Tres Chic of her.

Ooh la la

I went back and looked at the Fancy Nancy books by Jane O’Connor to get a real feel for Nancy, and was delighted by what I learned. After watching the first couple of episodes (airing tomorrow – July 13, 11am ET on Disney Junior, DisneyNOWand Disney Junior VOD) I knew that I had to pass along my delight at this show for my readers who have young childrenand grand-children.
