Introducing MomFeeds: Bite-Sized Read for Busy Moms

Next to my dresser in my room, I have a stack of unread print magazines that I subscribe to. I love to read magazines, but finding the time to get all the way through one is really hard to do. Can you relate?

7 magazines just waiting for me to read them! What are the odds that I’ll get through them all before the next batch comes in? Not good…

So I was very intrigued by the idea of an all-digital magazine that is available to read on my tablet, FOR FREE. But isn’t it the case that you get what you pay for? So I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from MomFeeds, which is the new publication from Weight Watchers. Would it be full of ads, just like a print magazine? Hard to navigate? What if I only have time to skim the titles? Can I highlight articles to read later, or not so much?

MomFeeds

Let me tell you, I was REALLY impressed with MomFeeds. First and foremost, I have never ever read a magazine that had SO many articles that were so timely and relevant to my life.  After quickly flipping through the headlines, I selected 18 articles that I wanted to go back and read. What’s the last magazine you read that had that many articles that spoke to you? Bet you can’t think of one. And even if you can, I bet that magazine wasn’t free!

What I’m Reading

The content for MomFeeds is always being updated, but here are some of the articles that I’m the most excited about right now, just to give you a sense for what you might find if you take a peek!
  • Tastes Forbidden (but it’s not): Easy Fried Rice
  • 4 Rules for a Clothing Budget
  • Mom’s Weigh In: Back on Plan After Baby #2
  • Mom Makeover: Fab Hair Tricks That Make a Big Difference
  • Instant Mom Energy – Blackberry Peach Smoothie

I am really impressed with this curated list of recipes, tips, style advice and news, all packaged in a way that I can easily access. I can select the articles that interest me now, and add them to a list to read as I have the time to do so. And since it is on my iPad, I don’t have to add another magazine to “the pile” to get around to one day. Also? I get to skip past all those ads that seem to take up 50% or more of print magazines.

How You Can Find It

I’d love for you to check out MomFeeds, and it is really easy to find! Simply visit weightwatchers.com/momfeeds. If you don’t already have the (FREE) Flipboard app (which is such an awesome app, but that’s a topic for another day…), be sure to download it, as that’s the app you’ll need to use to read MomFeeds. Be sure to subscribe to MomFeeds so that you get the fresh new content delivered to your Flipboard and you don’t miss a thing!
Sound a little confusing? No worries! Weight Watchers has put together a video tutorial to show you exactly how you can start checking out MomFeeds. They know we don’t have time for anything that is complicated in our lives (we have enough of that, already!) so they want to make it as easy as possible. And it is, I promise!

Weight Watchers

Weight Watchers has really impressed me with this publication, I have to say. They are once again showing themselves to be, in my opinion, a true leader in helping individuals make healthy lasting changes in their lives. For over 50 years, Weight Watchers has helped millions of people lose weight. I have heard from many friends about the Weight Watchers method, and just how effective it can be. I have actually decided on my own to try out Weight Watchers for the next 3 months (3 month online trial subscription provided) and see what I can learn about making choices that are good for me. It’s not just in an effort to change the numbers on the scale, but also in an effort to shift around some of the mental roadblocks that are holding me back a bit, and causing me to reach for food when life gets hard. If a company is willing to provide something like MomFeeds, absolutely free, in an effort to help me on that journey, then I think that speaks volumes about them. I’m on board and excited (and yes, nervous!) about what’s to come!

  2. I love to read just about anything from sci-fi to biographies to romance. Reading is one of my favorite things to do. I read when I am folding clothes, waiting for after school activities to take the kids home or just sneaking a few minutes here or there for myself.

  4. I barely have time for reading. It depends on my mood and the subject/story….but you can’t beat a compelling novel.

  36. What’s reading again? 🙂 Catching up on blogs at midnight after kids are in bed. I do get a few books read by getting a few pages in each week while waiting for daughter to get out of dance class and camping trips are usually good for a book or two as well. Love historical novels and parenting magazines.
