I enjoy this magazine because it offers great tips on health, food and decorating. There is something for everyone!

This magazine is pretty good. There are some great recipes and some good articles but my gripe is the "lose weight quickly" articles in every darn issue along with dessert photos on the front page. Oh, the irony! I think it is a mix of Family Circle meets US magazine. Not a bad thing but not my style. It feels slightly cheesy. That said, it is different then many magazines and some moms might really enjoy this style magazine.

I much prefer All You to this magazine. I don't think I am going to renew First but I still read them when they arrive.

In this day and age, why does it take sooo long to start this subscription? I ordered this magazine for my wife as a subscription during Christmas. Am told the subscription should begin March/April time! WHY?

I didn't look (my bad) or realize it would take this long or I would never have ordered a magazine subscription through AMAZON! Use the subscription cards that come with the magazine for fast subscriptions!


Just thought I would follow up here folks. This subscription SUCKS! We have contacted the magazine about their subscription and got a credit for three magazines...wow. Problem is this magazine arrives at least 2-3 weeks later than newstand copies. LATE! Yes that is correct. If you want a current issue you must get it at the newsstand. Totally baffles me unless they feel they are to get a full newstand price because you don't want to wait. We are cancelling this but all were gettin right now from these folks are a hassle. If you enjoy this magaine fine, just don't waste your time thinking because it will be mailed to you it will be cheaper and more convienient. It is ALWAYS LATE.

"First" is a magazine geared toward "women on the go". It is for the stay at home mom, who does it all(mostly for everbody else). Chauffeur, team mom, cook, housekeeper, hostess, financial consultant, lover, nurse and referee. It is also invaluable to those who must juggle the responsiblities of work and home. The magazine contains dozens of tips and and articles pertaining to making life a little easier. To help you find some spare time and maybe devote a little of it to yourself. It puts you "First".

It's well oraganized. Just thumbing through, you'll find what your looking for, as the articles are grouped by subject, and headings for each subject are shown at the top right corner of the pages. In a recent issue that I read, the subject matter includes 'Style', where you will find a few pages of realistic, afforadable wear, and tips on what might suit you best, 'Health', 'Joy', where you may find some inspirational stories from real people, 'Mmmm", this is an entire section of recipes that may be pulled out to insert in a notebook, 'Home', 'Love' and 'Fun'. There is even a crossword puzzle, and some jokes to give you a nice lilttle chuckle, that may be needed.

It's a great magazine for real women, with some fabulous ideas for everything from quick meals to decorating, to adding a little romance and stretching the dollar. You'll even find some wonderful excercise and relaxation tips. The price is affordable and worth all the great info inside. Also, you will not find the advertisements taking up more space than the articles..very nice.

So if your looking for newsworthy events or what's happening in the world of entertainment, you'll need to find the time to look elsewhere for that(after all, we "women on the go", want time to be informed as well), but for some time for yourself, check out "First".

Enjoy....Laurie
