We just had to share this awesome video from our friends over at Daily Grommet! This is a product we’d love to try out on a hot summer day. Daily Grommet has the best finds!
Kiki’s favorite summer treat: Hawaiian shaved ice dotted with rainbow colored gummy mochi candies. If you’re not smiling, yet, you will be soon. What’s your favorite flavor?
Dear Francie Fans,
It’s summer and yes, it can be boring when it’s hot out and you have nothing specific to do. Which is why we like to make Wednesdays “Wacky Hair Days”. Perhaps your Wednesday would be less boring if you tried this yourself. All you need are a few accessories, a theme, some time and a sense of humor.
Note: Actual hair accessories are so predictable, try earrings, plastic forks, pencils, necklaces, stick on bows, plastic flowers, real flowers, chandelier crystals, soda straws, matchbox cars…
Need more inspiration? Here’s a few of our creations. Scroll down for a list of hair “themes” to get you started. Got a great Wacky Hair Wednesday photo to share? Send us your link!
We called this one “Fruit Salad”
This one was Shrimp Cocktail

PS: Who’s bored now!?
We here at Francie Pants love all the colors of Spring. Sure we love color all year round, but there is something about Spring that has us wanting to turn our cartwheels barefoot. We can’t resist a cute pedi to go with our cute shorts and thus we searched high and low for the perfect pedi color. And we’re here to share our new favorite:
It’s the color of fresh blooming Impatiens. A soft pinky lavender that is just perfect for mother daughter mani/pedis. It somehow manages to go with everything.
Here’s a few more of the Fresh for Summer colors we found at a local beauty supply store. We’re partial to the “Funky Dunky” color from the Shrek Collection.
What’s your summer Pedi color?
We’re huge fans of Classic Play Magazine and the newly launched Classic Play blog site! We want to shout it from the roof tops we’re so in love.
Why do we love Classic Play? Quite simply it’s fun. Good, cheap, creative, around the house and around your town fun. The crew behind this e-mag, blog site (and mad genius playstuff brand Ellie Bellie Kids as well) never fails to amuse and delight us with their ideas. Some of our favorite recent posts include:
We think that turning cartwheels are a pretty good reason to wear Francie Pants. But what if you haven’t learned how to cartwheel yet? What if you haven’t even learned how to walk?
What’s more fun than dressing up your baby girl? It’s such a delight to see your baby in her cute clothes. But when she crawls away and you get an eyeful of huggies, the effect is somewhat diminished.
We want babies to be as free to move as their big sisters. That’s why we make Francie Pants in the perfect sizes for you to use as a diaper cover. Francie pants completely cover diapers and never leave marks on thighs like other bloomers that contain elastics. We love chunky baby thighs! No binding or itching with our shorts!
Curious about sizing? Order a 12 month size for use over the diaper of a baby up to a year old. A size 2 will fit up to a 24month old, over a diaper. Special bonus in that your girl should be able to continue to wear and enjoy her Francies over her regular panties for at least another yr once she is potty trained.
Francie Pants as part of your halloween ensemble? Why not! We’re so proud to have empowered this awesome costume. It pretty much sums up what we are all about. Making girls feel empowered. Thanks so much to Robyn for sharing this photo with us!

Remember when we said we were short on shorts? Well we’re fully restocked and have some exciting exclusive new prints to tell you about! These prints are all “Limited Edition” so get them while you can. We cannot promise that we’ll have them again. Here’s a sneak peek at the new styles, and what inspires us about each of them!
“Crazy Daisy” is perfect for 4th of July Picnics, and long lazy summer days. We can totally see Kiki in this All American print, riding her horse Butterscotch through a grassy meadow. She can’t wait for the long summer days and free time to spend with her beloved horse.
This Gypsy print is perfect for your little Bohemian gal. Marly loves to wear these under her hand-embroidered dresses, sent to her by her grandma. Marly’s already started making friendship bracelets for all her new summer friends she knows she will meet at camp.
Here’s Piper’s favorite new print pick. “Magic Mirror” is swirly, whirly, and thoroughly mod looking. It reminds us of those amazing plastic fantastic bubbles of our youth, and the mirror on Romper Room. Piper thinks this print rocks!
It’s a sure sign of summer when Jayden starts planning tea parties on the patio for all her friends. This new “Socialite” print is her favorite choice to wear when entertaining. It’s oh-so-refined and oh yes, it’s pink!
There’s no reason to get the summertime blues with this Francie Pants prints. Lexie called it Jazz and Blues because she felt it went well with the Jazz music she was using for her latest gymnastics routine. Forgive us when we say, she flipped for it!
In addition to these new colors we have a few more to share with you. You spoke and we listened. “More pink!” is something we hear a lot of. More florals too. And so we present to you the new pinks, from left to right: Bouquet, Groovy Garden, and Lucky Charms. How cute are all those little hearts, stars and diamonds?

No-one wants their daughter to be made fun of or teased because her undies are showing. But parents in Hollywood know this fear even more than most. When the paparazzi are after you and the cameras are clicking, a minor wardrobe malfunction can turn into a major problem. It’s not just moms who worry about this. Caring Dads take this matter seriously as well!
Larry Birkhead
Perhaps this is why Francie-Pants have such a celebrity fan club. Recently Larry Birkhead and Scott Baio picked up some of these privacy/sport shorts for their daughters, showing off what caring dads they are. We hope that Dannielynn and Bailey have fun kicking up their heels and turning cartwheels in their Francies!
Scott Baio
Celebrity or hometown girl, we’ve all got something in common. When kids have on their Francies, girls are free to be themselves and just be kids having fun, without fear of embaressment.
