🎒 Back-to-School Quick Guide

The back-to-school transition can be a challenge, but a few simple routines can set your whole family up for success this year!

🌟 Here is a quick-reference guide based on Laura Keller's latest article:
⏰ Reset the Clock: Calculate bedtimes by working backward from morning wake-up times. School-aged kids need 10–12 hours of sleep.
🗓️ One Calendar: Keep one central family calendar (paper or digital) so everyone stays on the same page.
🎒 Prep the Night Before: Have backpacks ready, clothes laid out, and lunches prepped ahead of time to eliminate morning chaos.
🛒 Shop Solo: Leave the kids at home during supply shopping to avoid impulse buys. Check what you already own first.
🧥 Buy Winter Gear Early: Don't wait until it snows to buy winter coats and snowpants. They get picked over very early in the season.
🍎 Keep Lunches Simple: Don't stress over artistic presentation. Teach your kids to pack their own balanced meals, and prep ingredients on weekends.
🗂️ Grab the Binder: Keep a single binder ready with your kids' immunization records, IEPs, and past report cards for quick school registrations.

Be like Dolly
Natural Life

08/26/2026

Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.

Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000).

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging or by leaving a message at www.dollyparton.com

In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com
