I am shocked it works for me but it does... and the kids like the variety. I just make sure to date every single page.

I could have written this (except for the years, because I didn't start digiscrap until 2007 and I had so few paper pages that I don't count those years lol). I realized that I scrap in order to pass on memories/enjoy the fun I/my family have had. So why worry so much about chronology? I still try to print my yearly albums in chrono order, but I also do albums for my kids. They're never in order, but they always love looking through them! I write "Remember This YYYY - YYYY." At least I have an idea what years will be included lol! Sometimes I'll even say "YYYY - YYYY, but mostly 2016" if one year is more prominent.
