Whether it’s forgetting about a doctor’s appointment for Callie, being worried about an upcoming surgery for her, feeling nervous about a situation James is de-escalating at work, or having to give a presentation in front of my entire supply chain…
To mothers of abled-bodied children, I see you at the park, at Target, the library. Our eyes meet with a knowing look and an empathetic smile in an unspoken sign of solidarity. Mama, I see you. I feel you down…

I feel like the last few years have been massive years of growth for me…often unwanted growth, but growth nonetheless! As I continue on this evolution, continuously looking to edit and refine my life, there’s an analogy I often use…

“Aren’t you worried she will be spoiled?” “Aren’t you worried she’ll be lonely?” Only child families are on the rise – so why do parents still feel judged for being ‘one and done’? The phrase was coined to describe…

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
