The end of summer is finally upon us…. This summer has been a kaleidoscope of brilliant moments combined with slow buttery sunsets. Incredible memories but also lots of sleeping in, eating ice cream, and pool time. It’s those times that…

It’s crazy to think that roughly this time frame, 9 years ago, Callie was being fitted for her very first prosthetic leg. We had to spend a week at the hospital in Dallas to teach her to how to walk…

I see you. Trying to keep it all together while quietly falling apart. Holding on tightly to the string before it unravels and you are completely adrift. Grieving for the life you thought you should have had….all the while completely…

This season…….. We are learning to breathe. I feel like we’ve been holding our breath for the last 8 years with Callie. Waiting to see if she needed another heart surgery. Waiting to see if the surgery on her knee…

I used to struggle so much with understanding why we were going through the hardships. Why we had been picked for these struggles…… Why it was our baby that had to have open heart surgery…… Why it was our sweet…

“It’s her heart.” That’s what the doctor said to us when they all gathered into my hospital room shortly after giving birth to Callie. They tried to explain the intricate surgery she would have in 4 short days. Tried…

Callie loves animals. Except bugs. She probably would be ok if we burned down the house simply because there was a spider in it. She will, without fail, wake up at 6AM on the weekend but we have to drag…

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
