When our daughter Callie was born, she was diagnosed with a chronic heart condition and we would later find out she would need a lower leg amputation. Her disability diagnosis rocked our world and subsequently knocked it on it’s axis….

So, you’ve been told your child qualifies for a 504 Plan. Great, right? But wait, what exactly does that mean? More importantly, what goes in a 504 Plan, and how do you know if it’s enough? The 504 Plan should be…

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.
Jaime
