Big hugs from me. Raising six kids is a huge responsibility, and if your brain can't hold more information, that seems legit. Plus, honestly, when I look back at the scrapbooks I made for my kids when they were little, I don't have legitimate memories of half of the things I scrapped, and I only have half the kids you have. If I hadn't been scrapping as these things happened, I wouldn't remember it at all. But to be fair, I also wasn't making dinner or cleaning the house or doing anything responsible, so you probably just made better choices than I did and now I have something to show for my bad choices while you don't (which doesn't seem fair because your kids probably don't remember all the sacrifices you made to keep them fed and clean and healthy).
I think our brains just prioritize what's most important, which is often surviving, right? I'm glad you're making time for scrapping again; I love your pages & seeing your beautiful children.
