When I found out Callie would need to have her leg amputated, I wanted to protect her from all the negativity that went with it. Having grown up myself with Type One Diabetes, I was very much aware of wanting…

I don’t know about you but sometimes (especially during the New Year time frame) I can feel like I maybe could have done more in the last year. Maybe it’s the Enneagram 3 in me, but when I look back…

As soon as Mariah Carey starts to thaw out each year and the sounds of All I Want for Christmas are on repeat in stores across the county, my anxiety begins to creep up. Holiday cards. Gift shopping. Gift wrapping….

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
