last year I had the same "problem"... so I also added a page with everyone's favorites from food to books to movies. This year I also want to add a what the price is of things like milk, bread, and gas... and a current events - what is happening in the state, nation, and the world.

did you take a look at Lynnette's album last year? She has tons of ideas for filler pages like her highlights spread, fashion, technology, etc.

I love the big photos in Traci's book... a couple pages were just really great photos blown up to full page size.

I'm doing combination of Lynnette's and Traci's book. I have five pages of blown up photos. Still working on highlights of the week, Food, technology and some random pages.

In addition to my daily pages, my pages are:
Intro
DH's week at work ("photos" are a screen shot of his calendar and a picture of him dressed for work)
DS1 and DS2's week at school
And if I need an extra page, a favorites page or a current events page (major news stories from the week and prices of some common items)

I too love the full pages pics... and I can do that for last year's book... the problem is, this year I only took Instagram pics... so they wouldn't look nice as full page pics... they look much better small like I have on my daily pages

thanks for the ideas... keep them coming

I was going to suggest a big photo as well just because it's easy. Did you write down any quotes or anything during the week? Because you could always do a big quote on one side and then take a new photo or use an older non-Instagram photo of the person on the other side. Or even if you didn't you could add in some familyelated quotes with a generic photo or something. I wouldn't be above taking photos now to use because no one will know it wasn't from that specific week and really it wouldn't matter anyway.

What about a family facts page? With like photos of each person with a list of things like age, grade, faves, etc?

Or just a page of pretty paper (or solid) with a quote from that week or just about families in general? Or being busy, spending time together, schedules, etc.?

I did 2 pages of lists of things like games the boys player, shows we watched, how much various things cost & then I did 4 regular layouts (with papers & embies) - one of each of us from that week. The rest of the book is in a graphic photo book style. That got me the 20 pages I needed
