Offering a “we’ve been there, we know” sort of comfort to parents, folksy first-person articles let parents know they’re not alone.

We say: This magazine is full of low-cost, fun craft ideas. We just wish Disney had put a space between Family and Fun instead of running both words together (so it looks as if we’ve made a typo).
