We have been reading a ton lately. We cancelled our cable service and also have cut down on our streaming services–which gives us so much more time to read! Callie’s top choices lately are the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series…
We have started to celebrate every tiny little victory. And I truly hope that no one ever takes our joy, pride, and happiness for bragging. I won’t though ever downplay what we’ve achieved because it makes someone uncomfortable. Our family…

I had to politely explain the difference between diversity and inclusion to someone the other day who ignorantly told me… “All dance studios are inclusive.” Um no. We had one studio that flat out told us Callie was not welcome. …

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
