Special needs mamas are warriors. We are thrown into a club that we didn’t necessarily ask to be a part of–and through grace and grit we find our footing in the world. Words like OT/PT, MRI, speech pathologist, orthotics, complex,…

Little girls are made of sugar and spice and everything nice. Warriors are made of grit and grace. Carbon fiber and steel. We had the final X-Rays done on both of Callie’s legs last week and the surgeon recommended…

We tend to focus on gratitude in our home. It’s very easy to focus on what we’ve lost during this time. Lost jobs, lost experiences, lost lives. Flipping that narrative though to look for what we’ve gained? Can we do…

We didn’t know what our journey would look like. We didn’t know that we would get the news we did. We didn’t know that we could be together while feeling desperately alone. We didn’t know that things would be this…

I have to admit my motivation has been lacking lately. Blame it on quarantine, blame it on my lack of a “schedule”, or blame it on the stress of juggling virtual school for Callie, being productive at work, trying to…

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
