How many children do you have? 6
Your Business Name: Emma’s Inspirations
Brief Description of Your Business:
Child and Pet safety decals for automobiles and kitchen windows.
What was your inspiration to start your business?
When the news broke regarding the teacher who did not realize she had left her child in the car all day… and her child died…it reminded us of a time when our youngest was left in our car for 45 minutes while we moved into our new home. Everyone had thought the other had taken her from her car seat. We thank God the window was open. From that point on we left ‘notes’ in each of the cars to remind us. “Where’s Emma” was our catch phrase.
When do you make time to run a business with your busy MOM schedule?
I find it during ‘OFF’ hours or juggle it “between”… there are lots of “betweens!”
What is your favorite beauty tip?
A good hair cut that requires no brushes. Just fingers and hair spray or gel!
What is your favorite beauty product to bring along when you travel?
Lipstick…ALWAYS! And, Sephora’s body butter!
Tell us about the outfit that makes you feel confident and beautiful.
All season wool suits and dresses; slacks and blazers. Scarves and earrings!
What’s your favorite online site to shop for beauty or fashion?
Really… Talbots or Martin and Osa… sometimes Nordstroms. Always sale items.. . ALWAYS!
What motivates you to look your best?
Dinner out! Shopping in the city.
As a mom, “Me Time” is limited… what are your time saving beauty tips?
1,2,3, go……….everything at my fingertips… lipsticks everywhere… hair I can scrunch into place…no base
makeup- just mascara, eyebrow pencil and lipstick.
Name one beauty product you can’t live without:
L’Oreal hair color. $10 is all it takes and I am constantly (really!) stopped and asked “Who does your hair?”
Heels or flats? Describe your favorite pair.
I like low heels… my feet are almost always comfy! I enjoy patent leather pumps … and BOOTS with heels or flat!
Lip gloss or Lip Stick? Do you have a favorite brand/color?
Lipstick… usually a Sephora purchase. Reds and mauves are the best for me.
Any additional comments on beauty and style you’d like to share: I like to keep things simple. I am usually able to be showered and out the door in 20 minutes or so. The critical thing for me is being able to scrunch body in my hair even while I am running out the door. If I had to use a brush, I’d be lost.
Editor’s Note: Barbara, I’m so happy that your story ended well and that you and your family have the courage to share it and help others! Best of luck to you and Emma’s Inspirations!

I think your book is very interesting, but I’m going to be very honest-I am from Edinburg, Texas and am looking for Barbara Baughman from Lemoyne, Prnnsylvania. She was my pen pal in elementary school and it’s been 50 years since the last time we heard from each other. I just thought that it would be the greatest thing to find each other after 50 years, but what are the odds of that happening? My luck couldn’t possibly be that good-it never has been before. If any of this information rings a bell or if you know of another Barbara Baughman, please let me know-thank you so much!! If it is you-we can write a book about this. Ha! Ha! Thanks for taking time out to read this.
