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…
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…

We spent 45 minutes yesterday arguing about her outfit. I had a super cute outfit all picked out for her. She wanted to wear something completely different that I’m not even sure matched. It wasn’t til she said “Mama, I want to dress…

Here’s to new beginnings……Callie and I are starting a blog! I hesitated and over thought this for a while. When’s the perfect time? What about our privacy? What if it’s not 100% ready? News flash. I’ll never be 100% ready but I…

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
