Thanks! But at this point it's been more than 6 months since I finished 2017 and 2-3 months since I did anything on our 2018 album.

When the kids were younger, I took tons of photos and they were cute and fun to scrap and I always had a story about the photos. I think part of my issue with 2018 was that I needed to re-train myself to take fewer pictures and journal less but have it matter more (special occasions, accomplishments, etc). I was taking photos just to take them and recording who did what each week, but it wasn't very interesting. (I was respecting my kids' wishes to take fewer photos of them, not take photos when they were with their friends, etc.) I'm doing a better job being intentional with my photos and journaling in 2019, but 2018 was a mess!
