Do you have a running collection of things that light your heart on fire? Feed your spirit and your soul? For most people the answer is no. We tend to move at warp speed through life–managing the never ending to…
I love Pinterest. Full transparency, it’s probably my favorite social media app. I love how I can search for healthy sheet pan recipes, motherhood inspiration, Christmas decorating ideas, beauty hacks and outfit ideas all at the same time. It’s also…

It’s unavoidable. As much as I absolutely adore the “back to school” season–the first soft whispers of fall, back to school shopping, new notebooks and backpacks, and the excitement of brand new adventures, part of me also cringes in anticipation…

I knew being a mom was going to be difficult; a crying baby in the middle of the night, changing endless poopy diapers, and getting little sleep was a given. But when our daughter was born with a disability and…

I opened it. It was the email version of a drunk delusional dance. You are out of touch with reality, it ominously started. It was an incomplete list of my inadequacies and finished up with alleging an obsession and mental…

I remember talking to a nurse in the hallway after Callie had her second open heart surgery. I literally was dead on my feet. I hadn’t eaten or slept in days. She lost a ton of blood during the procedure…

I never thought I’d be the parent who overscheduled her child– dragging them from activity to activity after long days at school. I promised myself that Callie didn’t need any extra enrichment outside of being a kid, life itself would be…

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
