Thrifty Thursday: 25 Free and Low-Cost Visitation Ideas for Non-Custodial Parents

Of course, you can get carried away with expensive outings, but it really isn't necessary, because what counts to your kids isn't how "exciting" your visit is, or how much money it costs. What matters to them is knowing that they can count on spending time with you during the visit.

So if you're reading this as a non-custodial parent, and you've been quietly wondering whether visitation time with your children really "matters" to them, know that it does.
