Family Blog & Daily Life Hacks
I wrote a post a few weeks ago about Sears and about how much I love Craftsman tools. I like their selection and I really like the warrenty that Sears tools offer. They are pretty much guarnteed for life against defect and if you break one of their hand tools they will replace it with no questions ask.
Sears asked me to host a give away for their Craftsman Nextec 12.0 Volt Right Angle Impact Driver. I currently don’t own one of these myself but after reading throught the specs this is one my list of tools that I will be asking for this Christmas.
Here are the product details for the Craftsman Nextec 12.0 Volt Right Angle Impact Driver:
Product Description
NEXTEC 12.0 Volt Right Angle Impact Driver Compact and powerful, the right angle design is ideal for getting into tight spaces and handling the tough tasks that your everyday drill can’t reach or handle. This powerful impact driver delivers more torque and works faster than “full sized” 18 Volt drills. The innovative impact mechanism absorbs the twisting action associated with most other drills and applies it to the work piece so your hand doesn’t twist with the tool.
Sears will be hosting huge deals this Monday at Sears.com. On Monday and Tuesday (12/12 and 12/13) Sears will be having a huge Green Monday sale – this event will be comparable to “Black Friday” and “Cyber Monday” in terms of breadth of product offers as well as depth of deals.
Sears is giving one lucky Look What Mom Found…and Dad too! reader a chance to win a Craftsman Nextec 12.0 Volt Right Angle Impact Driver of their own. Head over to Sears and tell me what other tools you or someone you are entering for would love to have.

Did you know Barbie has 3 sisters; Skipper, Stacey and Chelsea. It’s been quite a long time since I’ve seen any Barbie shows or even glanced at a doll. Now that Shae is getting a little older she’s recognizing characters on TV. When I got the opportunity to review The all-new DVD, “Barbie: A Perfect Christmas” I thought it might be a nice change of pace from her typical Disney and Scooby Doo movies we’re used to.
The DVD came on a Thursday and by the time Tuesday rolled around we had watched it 4 times. Shae instantly memorized the songs and funny dialogue and would run room to room to get the family to watch certain parts with her like when Chelsea finds the cute husky puppy. The movie is cute and animated quite well but the story behind it sends a nice message. Christmas isn’t about getting the perfect present it’s about creating the Perfect Christmas with the ones you love and creating memories that last a lifetime.

I can be accused of being a frumpy mom at times, I admit it but that doesn’t mean I don’t love the girly things in life. CATTIVA cosmetics are new to my makeup table but I think if the rest of their products are as great as the Belezza Blush/Bronzer Mineral Duo they might become a staple.
Inspired by Italian Romance, CATTIVA cosmetics is the first high-fashion, anti-aging line of color.With its chic, glamorous packaging, antioxidant rich formulas and rich long lasting colors, CATTIVA is rapidly becoming the world’s first fashion accessory makeup brand that makes a woman feel sexy yet sophisticated while defying age. Virtually weightless, our light reflective minerals make blemishes and fine lines practically invisible leaving your skin looking flawless and radiant. From Il Primo Bacio Lip gloss (first kiss) to Tutto Giorno Shadows (all day), the products are synonymous with old style Glamour in a modern world.
Extravagance has never been so good for you!
With the cool weather comes the darker more dramatic eye and lip colors. In the summer pinks and browns were my go-to but now I’m reaching for greens, violets and chocolates. With the new color palette I needed to change my cheek color. Going from a peach to a rose was working ok but I hate the obvious look of blush so I usually go without. Bronzers always looked fake to me, too sparkly for everyday wear. I tested out the Belezza Blush/Bronzer Mineral Duo on my girl’s weekend, I figured getting dressed up for the club and dinner was the perfect time to test it out. I start with brushing along my temples, cheeks and nose and work the residual powder left on the brush along my jawline and down onto my neck. using a fluffy brush gives it a smooth blended finish without looking like I’m trying too hard.
tanned and fresh with no side effects from the sun
I loved the fresh look it gave me, I looked sun-kissed. I did spend the day outdoors too so just to be sure I used it again on Thanksgiving and looked at the pictures that were taken that day and really noticed the radiance it gave me. I’m naturally tanned but using this combo blush/bronzer adds brightness to my sometimes dull complexion. You might be wondering why this isn’t something I use every day but honestly I don’t wear make-up every day. This is going to become a natural step in my FULL face application for things like going out to dinner, visiting friends and spending the day OUT with the family.
The Belezza Blush/Bronzer Mineral Duo is a refill that fits perfectly into the Square Crystal Compact that also fits the eyeshadow quads.
Smooth, sensual, high cheek bones are created with this luxurious and refillable mineral blush/bronzer duo! Colors are so beautiful and natural that you will look like you’re glowing from the inside out! This duo can be used as an all over face color or used for contouring to create a variety of looks and moods! Create a warm and sensual Hollywood glow! Talc & paraben free. Stunning refillable compact covered in Jewels! This compact is compatible with our foundation, blush/bronzer duo, and eye shadow quad.
Since I’ve been selected as a premier CATTIVA beauty blogger, we have an extra generous giveaway for our LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! readers. There are (5) Dolce Diva Lip Liners ($20) up for grabs. This paraben-free nude base is a great start to keeping your lip color or gloss stayput all day. Tell me what you currently use for lip color/lip care.

This Christmas might be the year of the Princess. Shae’s list consists of a Belle doll, Rapunzel light up dress doll, a Cinderella horse and carriage and the Princess and the Frog movie. Can you imagine my exploding head when we were sent the Disney Princess Ultimate Dream Castle for consideration?
Delight may be the understatement of the year. Shae literally squealed and jumped up and down as soon as the box landed in the living room. I describe it as big, colorful, bold and a little girls dream. The 2 dolls that were sent (not included) plus the dolls she already had, we are able to instantly move in and live together harmoniously.
The set up was not as simple as I had hoped. I made the mistake of opening the box in the middle of the day with 2 little girls running around. My niece promptly swiped a pillar and tower peak and started a marching band. Shae just repeatedly asked when it was going to be done. Honestly it took me quite a while to get it done. This might be something that should be done in a quiet room with no children present.
Standing 3 stories high, this dream house is large enough to accommodate 2 little girls playing with multiple dolls. Each room is decorated with a princess’s theme; Belle’s dining room, Sleeping Beauty’s bedroom and Tiana’s kitchen is just a sampling of the detail that is put into this castle. In my opinion $149.99 is steep for a little girl. If you know your child is a princess fanatic and has friends and family to play along it might be a perfect investment. The speed at which little girls grow up is something that needs to be taken into account before shopping. The dolls themselves are priced perfectly though; each one is approx $10 and are sold separately.
Be 1 of 2 winners for a Disney Princess doll (Belle, Snow White, Cinderella, Jasmine, Ariel or Tiana). Share which princess room would be your daughter’s favorite.
