Laura Lynn LaPointe
Laura Lynn, a native of Kansas, is a proud wife, aunt, friend, Kansas Jayhawk basketball fan, Parent Coach & Child Behavior Consultant, and mama to her adorable children, John Paul (April 2018), Emily (February 2020), & Baby #3 due in May 2023. Laura Lynn began dating her husband, Michael, in January 2016 and quickly realized that when she said, "There's no place like home," she was no longer referring to Kansas as Auburn would become her permanent home. When she isn't playing on the floor or making John Paul & Emily laugh, Laura Lynn devotes her extra free time to her parent coaching business where she teaches parents on the BabySparks app through online classes and one-on-one session about child behavior, potty training, and parenthood. You can find Laura Lynn on the BabySparks app and on Facebook / Instagram @lauralynnlapointe.
