We had to do Callie’s IEP for next school year a few weeks ago. For those of you that don’t know what an IEP is, its an individualized education plan that we fill out for the school. It details what…
You might be the parent of a warrior princess if……. You have a first name basis relationship with the pharmacist. And her doctor and school nurse. You might be the parent of a warrior princess if you find yourself yelling…

We spent 3 months in the NICU after Callie was born. Three long, brutal, exhausting months. Three of the longest months of my life. The bright spot in those long months were our nurses. In fact, in this entire journey,…

I went for a workout yesterday. Not because I hate my body. Not because I “ate” bad things. Not because I “need” to lose weight. Not because I felt “fat” and “ugly.” Not because I was worried about the calories…

You know what’s hard? Motherhood. You know brings me more joy than anything else? Motherhood. You know what makes me feel like I can’t do a damn thing right? Motherhood. You know what makes me feel like Wonder Woman? Motherhood….

When Callie had her amputation, we vowed that we would never let her prosthetic leg limit her in any capacity. Anything that she wanted to do, any activity she wanted to try, any trip she wanted to take we would…

I’m the kind of mom who does dance parties in the kitchen. I’m the kind of mom who lets her beat her own drum….even if that means wearing cat ears to school picture day. The kind of mom who encourages…

“Beauty isn’t about having a pretty face. Its about having a pretty mind. A pretty heart. A pretty soul.” The more I think about this quote, the more we are questioning who we follow on social media. Don’t get me…

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
