NEW YORK, Aug. 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

As parents across the country gear up for back-to-school season, the big challenge isn't just buying new backpacks or lunch boxes, it's setting kids up for success before that first bell rings.

Meaghan B Murphy, Lifestyle Expert, Mom, and Author provided some of her top tips:

What should parents be looking for when they're choosing a laptop this year?

For years, families have faced a choice between budget laptops with limited capabilities and premium devices costing well over $1,500. That’s starting to change.

The Dell XPS 13 delivers premium performance at a more accessible price. At just 2.2 pounds, it is the thinnest and lightest XPS ever made, making it easy for students to carry from class to class.

Powered by the latest Intel Core Series 3 processors, it offers up to 17 hours of battery life, helping students stay productive from morning lectures through late-night study sessions without constantly searching for an outlet.

The touchscreen display and backlit keyboard also make it easy to work in a variety of settings, from taking notes in class to studying in a dimly lit dorm room.

For students 16 and older, the Dell XPS 13 is available for a limited time starting at $599, making premium technology more attainable for families this back-to-school season.

What every day routines can make a difference this school year?

When school gets busy, small conveniences can make a big difference in keeping families on track. With teenagers balancing classes, activities and homework, staying hydrated is one of the everyday essentials that can easily get overlooked.
The Waterdrop M6CG helps simplify hydration with reverse osmosis filtration that provides purified water, hot or cold, while adding essential minerals for a smoother, more balanced taste.

Whether students are filling a water bottle, making coffee or tea, or preparing a quick instant meal, the M6CG provides filtered water in one convenient system—without the need for bottled water or multiple appliances. Its detachable glass pitcher also makes it easy to move filtered water from the counter to a desk or dining table.

Compact and installation-free, the M6CG is well suited for dorm rooms, apartments, home offices and other spaces where flexibility is important.

For an even simpler option, the Waterdrop glass water filter pitcher keeps filtered water chilled and ready to serve in the refrigerator, at a desk or on the go.

For busy families and students, these solutions make staying hydrated easier while helping streamline hectic school-day routines.
