Amanda Filippi
Hi everyone- I’m Amanda! Being a Midwest Nebraska girl at heart, my husband and I planted our roots in Flagstaff in August of 2016. Life has not stopped since our move to Arizona with welcoming two kids within a year!

Balancing the work and mom life has been a struggle but I thrive on chaos!
