Let's preface this by saying I have yet to successfully complete a PL project, so I definitely don't have the system down. I've started several times, so I have random PL pages for various years LOL.
I am doing it this year (so far anyway). In my head, PL is for the random snapshots - the ones that give a view overall of what our life looked like. Normally I wouldn't scrap a photo of my oldest son turning his head away from the camera and covering his face or something else equally uncute, but for PL it's perfect. Those photos show what my kids are like right now, and I usually give a snippet of explanation for them.
My other pages are usually either:
1. Event pages - bday, holiday, vacation, outing
2. Fave photos - When I do my kids' portraits, I usually scrap a bunch of those photos individually because I love them.
3. Art journal - these are my therapy pages that I just more enjoy the process, and I like back looking at how I felt at a certain time.
4. Faves pages & list-type layouts that show things I or one of my kids is loving right now.
I think that pretty much covers my scrap theory!
