How to Win A New Minivan This Weekend

What about shooting a little video for a chance to win a new minivan - the one you always wanted? Like this one valued at more than $42,000 fully loaded? 

A friend of Moms Buzz, who works with Volkswagen sent us an email alerting us about this great opportunity. There is VW Contest at Univision that will end this coming Monday, October 13, 2008. The exciting part for Moms Buzz readers is that they have received just a few videos, and with less than 5 days ahead, the chances to win are really good!

Here is the entry page. Although it is in Spanish because it is directed to the Hispanic Market, it is easy to follow. Unfortunately, they are not doing this for the general market. But, that doesn't mattter anyway when we are talking about winning the top of the line Routan 2009.

Here is how to win a new minivan this weekend:

1. Submit a short video (less than 2 minutes) about how would you and your family benefit from having this new VW Routan minivan.

2. You can submit your video via mail.

3. Or, you can submit your video online.

4. They will select the best videos and then there will be a public voting. The videos will be judged by creativity and, of course, relevancy to this new minivan.

Here are some pointers and tips to get you started on your video creativity:

• 2 independent DVD screens with connection to gameboys and other gaming systems – No more “I don’t want to see that!!! Mommy!!!”
• Extra storage space under the floor.
• Lots of space in the console and… 13 cup holders
• Navigation, Bluetooth hands free connection to the phone and all those high tech features.
• Integrated sunshades in all 4 back windows.
• Tailgate mode backseats (this one is great) - with the push of a button you can turn backwards the last seats and have an instant changing station!

If you win, you may get to appear on TV at the Sábado Gigante Show, a TV show with one of the highest ratings in Univision!

Good luck!

If you want to participant, take it step by step, by first finding out when and if there is a Walk Now for Autism in your city or country, and then register, form a team and raise funds, or just register to walk.

Morning Health Check

Moms have a sixth sense as they say, but this Fall/Winter season, we need to use our other 4 senses too, look, listen, feel and smell, to do a morning health check on our children. These are the signs to observer so that we do not send our children sick to school and, thus, avoid spreading the illness to other kids:

1. activity level
2. skin color
3. unusual spots or rashes
4. swelling or bruises
5. sores
6. severe coughing, sneezing
7. discharge from nose, eyes and ears
8. breathing difficulties
9. general mood or unusual behavior

Easy to do, but does require our 4 senses, and maybe the 6th one too for the morning health check!

Have a healthy Fall/Winter season!
