I know so many people want to talk about red flags. But what about green flags? Especially green flags in yourself? If you’re like me, it’s easy to fall into the trap of just nitpicking all of your flaws. Continually…

As a parent of a disabled child, I sometimes feel like I’m drowning. Ok, a lot of the times I feel like I’m drowning. Juggling doctor’s appointments, physical therapy sessions, petitioning insurance companies to cover Callie’s equipment, multiple practices with…

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
