Butler County WIC

July is National Picnic Month! 🧺This month, take advantage of sunny days and enjoy a meal outside. 🕶️Try exploring new picnic locations and find a new favorite spot for your family!

Here are some picnic tips for your family to have fun in the sun:
🥪 Pack quick and low-mess finger foods for easy eating.
🛝 Have your littles play first! Children are more likely to be calm and eat without distractions after burning energy.
🥤 Freeze bottles of water and drinks! These bottles will act as both ice for your cooler and make refreshing drinks for hot summer days.

Your healing matters just as much as your motherhood.

Whether you’re navigating pregnancy, postpartum, or years into motherhood, your mental health deserves care, attention, and grace.

• You are allowed to rest
• You are allowed to ask for help
• You are allowed to heal

Strong doesn’t mean doing it all alone.

As we close out the month, what’s one way you’ll prioritize your mental wellness?

Dried Lentils are the WIC-approved food of the month! Dried lentils are an excellent source of protein, dietary fiber, iron, and folate. They are also great for heart health, helping manage cholesterol and blood sugar! ❤️

Try including dried lentils in your family’s meals this month! Mix dried lentils into soups, curries, salads, and other veggie-heavy meals! 🥗Check out this website to find ways of incorporating lentils into your cooking: https://www.101cookbooks.com/ingredient/lentil
