1. Make a commitment and go! My Mom used to say this a lot when she was teaching us to drive. (My sis will definitely giggle if you say it to her). But it really applies to a lot of decisions I make everyday. I never knew how indecisive I could be until I became a parent. There are so many decisions when it comes to making/having/raising a baby - A or B? Left or right? Up or down? I learned to make a choice that I believed in, and stick with it.
2. Make it work. I remember my parents saying "We'll make it work" many times growing up. I often wondered which bank my mom robbed so they could afford to send three kids to a Catholic school (at the same time). Now she tells me that sending us to a Catholic school was just that important, so they made it work. I have to remind myself of that phrase almost every day. It is overwhelming to think of dreams I have for Ava and how I will ever financially make them happen. Maybe I will rob a bank, maybe I will start saving now. But if they mean that much to her, I'll make it work!

Great post! I definitely giggled about "Make a committment and go!". Its so funny how that saying has stuck with us for so long :)
It's a wonderful time in your life when you realize your kids 'got' some of the things you tried to instill. You will realize that there is nothing that you will not try for that little girl. you don't always succeed, but you try! I love you.
I've heard your mom say "Make a committment and go" great phrase:)
