The other day at Callie’s orthopedic appointment, we had an X-Ray done of her back. Callie, in addition to her other health issues, also has scoliosis. We have to do yearly X-Rays, especially as she starts rapidly growing, just to…
That was the answer I gave for so many years. Right after Callie was born and we spent months in the NICU. People would ask how she was doing, how we were holding up, if we needed anything. My answer…

Sometimes Callie asks me questions that I honestly have no idea how to answer. Most of the time they are about math. But the other day on the way home from school she asked me….. “Mama, what if no one…

I used to compare our lives to others. In an age where everything can be seen, shared, and reviewed in a matter of seconds, it was extremely easy to compare our lives to the seemingly “perfect” lives of everyone else….

These types of posts are always fun because we can share a little snapshot of what is going on in our lives! We just did our fall photo shoot with our favorite photographer, Memories by Lauren. If you are in south…

We show up. We show up for the hard days. We show up for the incredible days. We show up for the lazy Sundays. We show up for the crazy, hectic, busy days. We show up for the birthday parties…

I thought it would be fun to share with everyone the rules and values that we have in our family. We’ve had some of these from Day One and others we’ve adopted over the years. I would love one day…

It was the hardest decision we have ever made. Callie’s doctors explained the options to us. We could try multiple intensive surgeries to try to lengthen her leg bone. Graft some sort of a stable ankle joint. Stretch and pull…

Everyone really liked the interview we did with Callie a few posts back (Check out A Very Special Interview to see what I mean!) so we thought we would do a modified version of that. I sat down with Callie and asked…

We get this question a lot. Most people who haven’t walked the same path that we have can’t fathom how we are able to withstand the storms that we have…… How we are able to keep getting up after getting…

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
