The Teacher

February 27, 2019 in Family, Modern Motherhood - No Comments



I lost my cool with Callie this morning. 
It definitely was not one of my finer moments and I sat in the car after drop off and cried. 
I know being a parent would be challenging especially with all the hurdles our family faces. 
I knew that being a mom I would learn new things, learn about life and learn about kids. 
But I had no idea how much being a mama would teach me about myself. 
About patience and grace. 
About how I love. 
About how I forgive, especially myself.
About how I handle stress and obstacles. 
About how I handle the little things and the big things. 
Luckily, my kid is amazing and will have forgiven me by the time I walk into her classroom today to pick her up. 
I’m so thankful to her for all of these life lessons she’s teaching me and will continue to teach me as we get older. 
My sweet Bear, Mama always thought I would be the one teaching you about life…..but in reality, it’s you teaching me.

For the women blooming in unexpected places…..

For the women blooming in unexpected places…..

Hi Y'all

Hi, I’m Jaime — writer, mother, storyteller, and the heart behind The Wildflower Edit. For nearly a decade, I wrote online as The Princess and the Prosthetic, sharing my daughter’s journey with disability and the lessons our family learned along the way. It was a beautiful season — full of advocacy, connection, and community — but as my daughter grew older, I felt a shift. She deserved more autonomy. More privacy. More room to decide how she shows up in the world. And I realized something else: My own story was expanding too. Motherhood was still here. Disability was still here. But so were grief, healing, womanhood, nervous system care, feminine energy, homemaking, identity, softness… the fuller, deeper pieces of life that were ready to be spoken aloud. Whether you come for the cozy routines, the motherhood reflections, the disability advocacy, or the soft life inspiration — thank you for choosing to share this space with me. Pour a warm drink. Settle in. Let’s grow a life that feels like you again.
