There’s been a lot of talk about identity theft and the importance of properly destroying documents linked to your personal information. This is why we shred bills, receipts and other things that aren’t needed anymore. But what about those documents you NEED to keep; birth certificates, IRS documents, social security statements, and investment paperwork just to name a few.
These items need to be stored safely and within reach when needed. A home safe has been on our list of MUST BUY for a long time. Unfortunately it’s one of those things you never think you need until it’s too late. My grandmother passed away almost 3 years ago and when my grandfather gave us the go ahead to donate her clothing and belongs we found tons of cash hidden in drawers and pockets and boxes. If she had a safe we wouldn’t have had to worry about throwing away an old box of tissues for fear of $800 stashed in it.

The holiday season tends to get hectic with all of the shopping and traveling and the last thing you need is to spend a lot of time with car repairs and Sears Auto Center is helping to reduce that time with their new 3D wheel alignment.
A week or so ago I took Melinda’s van in to have the alignment checked because it felt like it was pulling and within five minutes the guy told me that the alignment was off a touch which was fixed within twenty minutes. I have had many alignments and have never had one done in less than an hour let alone in less than thirty minutes. I was hesitant on how well the alignment would be done as it only took twenty minutes but it is still going strong after a few weeks and Sears Auto Center will be my new alignment head quarters from here on out.
How It Works
A customer’s vehicle is driven into a special Sears Auto Center service bay equipped with the proprietary HawkEye Elite 3D alignment equipment. A Sears Auto Center technician installs High Resolution 3D alignment heads – also known as targets – that are mounted on spring-loaded clamping arms to each of the vehicle’s four wheels. Each target and clamping device is designed to adjust easily to various wheel sizes. A thumb lever locks each clamp in place. The 3D Target clamping arms are major enhancements to alignment technology and service. These targets grip the tire tread, not the wheel, thereby preventing any possible damage to customers expensive alloy wheels and rims. The entire target and clamping assembly weighs just six pounds, facilitating quick handling and easy installation.
Digital imaging sensors using high-resolution cameras provide instant on-screen alignment readings and provide 3D modeling of wheel position and orientation. As the digital imaging continues, a technician rolls the vehicle forward one to two feet to capture and record a complete alignment assessment of the vehicle. Since this particular HawkEye Elite technology eliminates the need for a hydraulic lift, the diagnostic time requirement is slashed, as the vehicle remains on the garage floor exactly where it was parked upon arrival at the Sears Auto Center.
In 90 seconds or less, a Sears Auto Center customer can be advised of their vehicle’s wheel alignment assessment and the appropriate service required if and when needed. If a wheel alignment is recommended, that process usually can be completed in 30 minutes or less, which is up to 50 percent faster than the previous method.
What is great about Sears Auto Center and the Hunter Engineering’s HawkEye Elite3D wheel alignment is that it is available in more than half of its approximately 850 U.S. locations so you are sure to find a Sears Auto Center close by that offers this awesome technology.
If you are short on time and new a fast quality wheel alignment done swing by Sears Auto Center and ask for the HawkEye Elite 3D wheel alignment. Your alignment will be done before you can get comfortable in the waiting area.
Sears Auto Center has been kind enough to offer two (2) lucky LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! reader a chance to win a $100 Sears Auto Center Gift Card to get a 3D alignment check of their own. Head over to Sears and tell me why you want/need a 3D alignment.

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.
shae and madi watching for the 4th time
