I just finished getting my youngest son's personal album all caught up to 2024.

I've shared this before, but for each kid I started doing 1 page month (give or take, as they get older it may be 2 or 3 months in one pages), of my favorite photos or just photos if there aren't many in Pocket Page templates, no journaling, nothing like that, minimally scrapped, then if they want the full story, they can come home and look at the family albums. LOL!

Once I'm gone, hopefully they will all gather together to look at them.

I've also started uploading all my pages to Facebook in private albums I only share with immediate family, especially my mom, I see her every few years, so this is a good way for them to view them, and for the kids, not everyone is seeing personal things they don't want to share.

LOL! I love that they will have to come look at the family albums to read the full story! I just saw a video where the kids came back (as all grown adults) for a sleepover in their parents home. I sent it to all my girls so they will get the idea and do that when they are all out of the house!

I still plan to do albums for trips, etc. But this will help get some of those more random layouts actually printed and able to be seen by the girls!
