Back Labor Blog

TALK TO JULIA

The Back Labor Blog

Forty Weeks Founder Julia Beck takes you behind the velvet ropes in the brave new world of Bump and Baby. Pregnancy trends, media coverage of parenting, research and recent findings, celebrity pregnancy and baby, the business that keeps it all in motion are among the topics that Julia covers in her signature candid and open style.

I have no idea what Webster's says about it – but Julia says: Back Labor is the ultimate pain on the way to the most delicious reward! Back labor hurts like a bitch, but it's all worth it in the end. And that about sums up our "lives behind the velvet ropes" here at Forty Weeks. We invite you into our Labor Room – via the Forty Weeks' Back Labor Blog. Read about how we do what we do, and follow along our labor of love that really pays off for our clients, and hear a little about the juicy behind-the-scenes bits, too!

And Forty Weeks wouldn't be who we are without the people – our dedicated crew and the BFFs of Forty Weeks and, of course – you too! We love to hear your comments, so please join in the conversation.

The Journey Continues

At least you can say I have got range! While last week was an inspiring but chilly trip Toronto, this AM promises a whole different vibe. I leave for LA today for what is sure to be a few very exciting days. On the agenda – time with Meet Me in Miami’s Debbie Ohanian (of course, whenever, where ever!!!), an overdue meeting with the new team at babystyle, some face time with our future client Everybody’s Nuts (come on, you know the pistachios by now!!!!) and of course some strategy with Amanda on all things LA.

Speaking of Amanda – she has been hard at work on the almost due (Tori Spelling’s shower plans) and the newly announced (Jillian Barbarie’s new wardrobe) not to mention some surprises. Amanda Peet for Studio 60 is one and Connie Neilson for some Red Carpet Premieres is another. I am particularly thrilled that we have been working with Vanessa of Isabella Oliver on Nancy O’Dell’s Red Carpet looks and they are stunning…

On the East coast side of things, our staff continues to grow…in all ways! Gina is expecting her second daughter in April and is looking quite fabulous all around. And we have brought in some new faces – Jen and Andrea to help keep THE MOTHER SHIP moving and on course….

Our new and existing client strategies for 2007 enter into brave new territory - we are so ready for the Year of the Golden Pig (per the Chinese zodiac, every fifth year of the pig is that of the golden pig, and is condisered espcially auspicious)…
