It’s this little lady’s birthday — and it’s one of the big, fun ones! 🎂 😎
Big birthdays deserve a proper celebration, so thought we should take a second to share a few of the things we know and love about our dear Tracy:
-She cannot walk past a single dog without a full, formal introduction. Getting down a single block can take an hour.
-She destroys Beast of Burden at karaoke.
-Her bolognese is a religious experience. (Thank you, Mama Peduzzi)
-She is one of the funniest humans alive and should be doing standup. Also: undefeated GIF champion.
-Her Halloween costumes are a whole event. (Google Charlize Theron in Mad Max, then ask Tracy to show you hers, it’s epic.)
But there’s also the Tracy that always shows up when it counts:
—She is the first to show up at your door with food/gatorade when you’re sick.
-She will drop everything to listen to you.
-She can make anyone in any body look good and feel beautiful — truly anyone.
-She will pull all-nighters and fall over to get a project done on time and perfectly.
-She speaks in front of 500 people like she’s having coffee with a friend.
-She is an extraordinary mom to beautiful Gemma, and she loves her family more than anything in the world.
And, lucky me, she has been my business partner and work-wife for over 16 years. I couldn’t be more grateful for all the laughter, shared creativity, a strong commitment to high standards in business and on personal level, and so much more.
Happy birthday, Trace. Here’s to everything you’ve already done, and to all the love, kindness and joyful energy you’ll keep bringing to this world! ✨
❤️,
Paula + the Est Ovest Family
