I’ve never had the option to give up. I’ve never had the option to “mail it in.” I’ve never had the option to kick back and let up off the gas. I never had the option to quit. If you…
We are coming up on our 12th Anniversary! It’s honestly hard to believe. There are some days I look at him and think we’ve barely even scratched the surface. In a “How can this man be real/I love him so…

I was extremely thin before I got pregnant with Callie. Like tiny thin. All through my pregnancy I heard, “Oh you are so lucky. It will be so easy for you to bounce back.” “Oh, you’ll bounce back.” I would…

Sometimes I feel like it’s very easy to fall into the “victim” mentality. Especially with our situation. I mean how could I not? How could I honestly not look at all of the challenges we’ve overcome, all of the hurdles…

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…

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….

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
