What makes you special?

It's such a dilemma. I blog about parenting, hoping to hear from other parents that our problems aren't unique. But I tell my kids all the time "you are so unique! There is no one like you!" And even though I want my kids to obey me without question, at the exact same time I want them to think for themselves and see themselves as individuals.

Weighing both sides of the argument usually ends with me prizing individuality over conformity.  So when I was invited to submit an entry to the UPMC Health Plan Individuality contest, I said "heck yeah."

Going for a unique look

I have plenty of other things on my to-do list, but I am going to put "create kick-ass family entry" on my the top of the list. Because I want the hotel prize. And the Zoo prize.

Oh alright, you can enter, too.
