As soon as Mariah Carey starts to thaw out each year and the sounds of All I Want for Christmas are on repeat in stores across the county, my anxiety begins to creep up. Holiday cards. Gift shopping. Gift wrapping….
I’m by no means the person that came up with these ideas all on my own but I did round them up for you in a nice little blog post. But in all seriousness, these are some of the simplest…

“How are you?” Callie had been admitted to the hospital a few weeks ago. She had a terrible bacterial infection and was transported by ambulance to the same hospital where she spent the first three trauma-filled months of her life….

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
