Hey y'all, Nimini here.

I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records.

Executive produced by Questlove, The Story Pirates, and John Glickman.

Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop.

Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to historical records.

Listen to historical records on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of IHeart Radio.

Good morning.

This is Laura.

Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast.

Today's tip is to find a place to belong.

Become a member at a local destination you enjoy,

and you will be able to give yourself and your

family an appealing entertainment option for even short periods of time. On my other podcast,

Best of Both Worlds, my co-host Sarah and I recently shared what we called a long weekend with little kids survival guide.

One of the tips was that being a member at a fun local place can make weekends easier.

Not so much that you plan a trip to the local children's museum as your big adventure for the day, though of course you could. It's more that being a member makes the marginal cost of going zero.

You aren't going to pay an admissions fee for that particular trip,

so you are more likely to go, even if you don't have much time,

or there is a high possibility that your visit will be cut short.

You can see how this plays out.

If you are paying $120 to take your family to the zoo, you are going to want to stay there all day.
