We spent over three months in the NICU after Callie’s diagnosis–and since then have spent what feels like a lifetime in and out of the hospital for surgeries, recovery, and appointments. Something I learned very quickly as we joined this…

I live for Sundays. They’ve become synonymous with slow romanticized mornings, hot girl walks with friends, everything showers (CGM and pump site change out included), and much-needed resets. Scrolling through Sunday reset content on social media leaves me feeling incredibly…

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
