Craig Ferguson Meet and Greet

Ok, so I have a total celebrity crush on Craig Ferguson. It all started when we moved here to Germany, and I was confined to just 10 American tv channels. Pregnant and exhausted, I spent hours lying on the couch watching t.v.

I don't know if it's his crazy antics or that Scottish accent, but I was hooked! The great thing is that hubby loves him too, so there was no fighting over the remote.

So when I heard that Craig Ferguson was coming to Germany, I had to wipe the drool from my chin. Seriously, I've got a major crush on the guy! The show was originally scheduled for last Friday, but for some reason it was postponed to today.

No worries though! Hubby and I made a date out of it and went to dinner before the show. After standing in line for an hour, the doors opened and we quickly snagged a great spot on the balcony.

The show was great! I totally loved it. His jokes and imitations had the crowd laughing throughout the whole performance.

Afterwards, we were able to meet Matt Baetz(comedian) and Craig Ferguson aka Hubby #2.



We received a signed head shot for ourselves and Ki'Nani.

The Sassy Ladies Toolkit For Start-up Businesses Giveaway & Review



I was lucky enough to review the latest book from The Sassy Ladies. Their latest book is the book for small businesses, no matter how long you have been in business. Whether you've been in business 3 years or haven't even started yet!

MarieLynn Boutique will celebrate our 2nd Anniversary in August, when I started MarieLynn Boutique, I didn't have a business plan. I had no clue about how to run a business, and I have to tell you, I've made a lot of mistakes along the way. If I had read The Sassy Ladies Toolkit For Start-up Businesses, then I would have had the tools to help with everything from Insurance, Lawyers, Budgeting, etc.

I found the book extremely useful! I've book marked and highlighted numerous areas in the book, so that I can go back and follow-up on the resources that are given. There are also so many excercises to do, which help you decide how many customers you need to reach out to, in order to reach your monetary goals for the year.

Whether you've read numerous books to help you start your business or not, The Sassy Ladies Toolkit For Start-up Businesses is the only book you will need to reach your professional goals.

So how can you get your hands on this book?

Visit The Sassy Ladies website and browse around. Come back here and comment on one thing that you learned while visiting their website.--One Entry per day **The catch is that you must come back with a new fact each day.
