Hey bombshell, I get Child, Parents, Parenting, Family Fun, Wonder Time, Good Housekeeping, and Woman's Day (the American one, which is more like a bi-weekly or monthly). You're right about the prices being cheaper than NZ mag subscriptions -- I used to work at New Zealand Woman's Weekly, and even with a staff discount, the cost of a year's subscription was the equivalent of a year's sub to three of my American mags!
My favourite mag is Child, because I love the articles and the way it's written. Parenting and Parents are tied for second. Family Fun is great for ideas of things to do with the kids (even though my kid isn't quite old enough for lots of the activities, they're great for future reference). Wonder Time is a new mag similar to Family Fun, but aimed at toddlers -- it's early days but I like the content. Good Housekeeping and Woman's Day are real women's mags -- recipes, crafts, home stuff. I love them. I also used to get Family Circle but don't like the content so much any more -- now my mom sends me hers in six-monthly lots.
Just as a point of reference, my Wonder Time subscription was $10, plus $20 postage. US dollars but still cheaper than NZ subs! And definitely cheaper than the newsagent!
