🌹 Five years ago, I carried hope for another family.

Five years ago today, I underwent an embryo transfer, hoping to carry a precious baby for a family who had already endured so much heartbreak.

That little embryo didn’t stick.

It was one of those moments in surrogacy that reminds you that even when we give everything we can, we don’t always get to choose how the story unfolds.

But God had other plans.

That same year, after experiencing so many losses, this incredible mom was able to carry her own baby to full term. A beautiful, unexpected miracle. ❤️

Over the years, she has shared with me that she believes my stepping in and taking some of the pressure and stress off her helped give her body and heart the space they needed. I will always be deeply touched that she sees my small part in their journey that way.

And I never forgot the little embryo we transferred.

I planted a rose bush in her honour. 🌹

Five years later, she still blooms. Every time those roses open, I remember that tiny embryo, that hopeful transfer, and the beautiful family I would never have met if it weren't for surrogacy.

Surrogacy doesn't always create families in the way we expect. Sometimes the journey takes a completely different road. But it can still give hope. It can still change lives. And it can create relationships and memories that last long after the journey itself.

Have you ever wondered if you could be a surrogate?

At The LIFE Nest, we're looking for incredible women who feel that little tug on their heart to learn more about helping another family.

You don't need to know if surrogacy is right for you yet. You don't need to have all the answers. Sometimes it starts with nothing more than a conversation.

If you're a mom who has experienced healthy pregnancies and you'd like to learn what becoming a surrogate could look like, I'd love to talk with you.

🌿 Guidance and support throughout your journey
🌿 Wellness, pregnancy, birth and postpartum support
🌿 A community that understands the heart behind surrogacy
🌿 Reimbursed for eligible surrogacy-related expenses

Surrogacy gives hope and changes lives.

Maybe five years from now, you'll look back and realize one conversation changed yours, too. 💜

Today is World IVF Day 🥰

On July 25, 1978, Louise Brown became the world's first baby born through IVF, giving hope to millions of families around the world.

Today we celebrate every intended parent who never gave up, every surrogate who chose to carry hope for another family, and every fertility professional whose compassion and expertise help make these journeys possible.

As the founder of The LIFE Nest, I'm especially grateful that God blessed me with the opportunity to be a surrogate three times; experiences that forever changed my life and deepened my compassion for intended parents.Those experiences forever changed my life and gave me a deep understanding of both the joy and the challenges that come with helping build families.

We also pause to remember the babies who were lost, the pregnancies that ended too soon, the embryos that never became children, and the families whose hearts still carry that grief. Your babies mattered. Your journey matters.

Whether you're still waiting, celebrating a new beginning, or remembering a precious life gone too soon, know that you are not alone. Today, we honour hope, resilience, love, and the many beautiful ways God brings families together.

Happy World IVF Day.

Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦

Today is a day for family, friends, backyard barbecues, fireworks, and celebrating all the things that make Canada such a wonderful place to call home.

As we celebrate, we want to give a special shout-out to the incredible surrogates across Canada. In a world where so much revolves around "what's in it for me," Canadian surrogates choose to help someone else build their family out of the kindness of their hearts. That is pretty amazing.

Canadian surrogacy is altruistic, meaning surrogates are not paid to carry a baby. They step forward out of compassion, generosity, and a desire to help others experience the joy of becoming parents. It is one of the most selfless gifts a person can give.

Today, we are also thinking of the intended parents who dream of holding a baby of their own. For many, the journey to parenthood is much longer and more difficult than they ever imagined. Behind every family created through surrogacy is a story of hope, perseverance, and a deep longing to love and raise a child. We see you, we support you, and we celebrate the courage it takes to keep believing in your dream of growing your family and raising little Canadians of your own.

To every surrogate who has completed a journey, is currently pregnant, is supporting others in the community, or is just starting to explore surrogacy, today we celebrate you too. You are changing lives, creating families, and making the world a little brighter one baby at a time.

From all of us at The LIFE Nest, we wish you a Canada Day filled with laughter, love, good food, great company, and maybe just a little extra maple syrup.

Happy Canada Day! ❤️🍁

I am so excited to officially announce a wonderful addition to The LIFE Nest team. Please help us warmly welcome Michelle Siddle, our new Executive Coordinator who hails from beautiful Nova Scotia.

Michelle is an experienced surrogate, an RPN, and brings years of management experience to The LIFE Nest. She is deeply passionate about health and wellness, trained in mental health support, incredibly organized, and full of thoughtful ideas and vision. More than that, she is a genuinely compassionate, positive, and caring person who naturally makes others feel supported and seen.

In her role as Executive Coordinator, Michelle will be overseeing the daily operations of TLN while helping strengthen and expand the heart of what we do. She has already stepped so beautifully into this role and is actively supporting our surrogates with care and dedication. She is also helping us grow our doula support and training program, along with our egg donation program.

Michelle truly feels like an answer to prayer. Her presence has already been such a blessing to our team, and I cannot wait for everyone to get to know her better as we continue building and growing together at The LIFE Nest.

Some surrogacy journeys are filled with excitement from the very beginning. Others carry heartbreak, silence, waiting, failed transfers, difficult appointments, loss, uncertainty, or moments where people feel completely alone in the process.

One thing I have learned is that support matters deeply.

Not just during the “big” milestones, but during the quiet moments too. The days filled with anxiety before beta results. The emotional weight after a failed cycle. The pressure surrogates can feel while carrying for another family. The fear intended parents carry after years of infertility, loss, or disappointment. The moments where everyone is trying to stay hopeful while protecting their hearts at the same time.

People often see the announcements and happy endings, but they do not always see the emotional, physical, financial, and mental layers underneath the journey.

Every person deserves to feel informed, respected, cared for, and genuinely supported throughout the process. Sometimes the greatest thing we can offer is simply steady support, honest communication, and a safe place to land during difficult moments.

Surrogacy is not just about reaching a destination. It is about walking through the journey with compassion, trust, and humanity together.

If you have experienced pain, stress, disappointment, or isolation during your surrogacy journey, whether as a surrogate or intended parent, please know that you do not have to carry it alone. If you need support or simply someone to talk to who understands the journey, please feel free to reach out or leave a comment below.

Wishing everyone a peaceful and beautiful Victoria Day weekend.

We hope you find a little time to slow down, rest, enjoy the sunshine, gather with people you love, and make memories that feel simple and meaningful. Long weekends can be busy, but they can also be a reminder to reconnect with what matters most.

Thinking of the families spending the weekend celebrating new babies, preparing for births, healing postpartum, navigating infertility, or simply trying to make it through another season of motherhood one day at a time. You are seen too.

Stay safe, enjoy the fresh air, and soak in the little moments this weekend brings.

Today is Hyperemesis Gravidarum Awareness Day, and for so many women, this is far more than “bad morning sickness.”

Hyperemesis gravidarum can be completely debilitating. It can mean months of relentless nausea and vomiting, dehydration, weight loss, isolation, hospital visits, fear, and feeling like your body is fighting against you while trying to grow life at the same time. Many women suffering from HG feel misunderstood because people often minimize it or compare it to normal pregnancy nausea, when in reality, it can impact every part of daily life and mental health.

Behind many healthy babies and beautiful birth announcements are mothers who survived pregnancies that were unimaginably difficult. Women who kept going while barely being able to eat, drink, function, work, parent, or even get out of bed. There are mothers who suffered quietly because they felt guilty for not “enjoying” pregnancy, while still loving their babies deeply.

Today is about awareness, compassion, and believing women when they say they are struggling. It is also about honoring the strength it takes to survive pregnancies that feel impossible while still holding onto hope for the miracle on the other side.

To every mother who has walked through HG, your experience was real, your suffering mattered, and your strength deserves to be recognized.

May is Preeclampsia Awareness Month, and this is something that deserves far more conversation and education than it often receives.

Preeclampsia is not “just high blood pressure.” It can come on suddenly, escalate quickly, and affect both mother and baby in very serious ways. One of the hardest parts is that many women dismiss the symptoms because they are told swelling, headaches, exhaustion, or not feeling right are just part of pregnancy. Sometimes a mother knows deep down that something feels off before anything shows clearly on paper.

This month is about awareness, but it is also about listening to women. Trusting mothers when they say something doesn’t feel normal. Encouraging women to seek medical care when symptoms arise. Supporting families who have walked through frightening pregnancies, NICU stays, birth trauma, loss, or long recoveries because of preeclampsia.

We believe mothers deserve to feel heard, informed, and cared for throughout pregnancy and postpartum, not dismissed or brushed aside.

To every mother who has experienced preeclampsia, postpartum preeclampsia, or severe pregnancy complications, we see your strength and we honour your story.

Today, we celebrate the women who nurture, love, protect, carry, guide, grieve, hope, heal, and hold others together in ways the world does not always see.

To the mothers.
To the grandmothers.
To the stepmothers.
To the women longing to become mothers.
To the women who have experienced loss.
To the surrogates who give the gift of life.
To the foster and adoptive mothers.
To the aunties, mentors, caregivers, and quiet mother figures.
To the women doing their best through exhaustion, heartbreak, joy, uncertainty, and growth.

You are so deeply valued and cherished.

We recognize that Mother’s Day can hold many emotions all at once. For some, it is beautiful and joyful. For others, it carries ache, memory, longing, or complicated love. Wherever you are today, we hope you feel seen.

Thank you for the care you pour into others, often in ways that never make headlines but change lives every single day.

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at The LIFE Nest.
