I used to beat myself up if everything wasn’t perfect for her. And full transparency, I attribute a lot of that “quest for perfection” as an effort to make up for my believed role in the causation of Callie’s disability….

As the mom of a child with a disability, there are four things I wish everyone knew about interacting with our daughter… It was moments after giving birth that we found out our daughter was disabled. At the time, hearing…

“I’ve never seen such incredible results!” An influencer exclaimed about a serum she’d used on her freckled skin, hyperpigmented like mine. Intrigued (of course), I swiped up on her Instagram story, read its glowing reviews (see what I did there),…

After Callie’s disability diagnosis, there were several events that were almost guaranteed to ruin my day: Pregnancy announcements and birth announcements. I know it sounds absolutely horrible. It felt even worse. A friend would share what was (understandably) the happiest…

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
