How to arrange photos in Windows

I always arranged my photos in folders based on Topics:
Family - subfolders (sister visiting, girlfriend)
Friends
Travel - vacation pictures - subfolders (different locations then by year)
Work - photos taken when I travel for work - subfolders (different locations then by year)

This worked when I just had a digital camera.

Now I have a digital camera, cell phone and work cellphone plus my wife takes photos too and wants to store them in a central place (so there will be multiple naming formats)
Plus I have 2 kids now so I take a lot more pictures.

I kept up the folders based on topics but I added a folder for my daughter.
Now that I have my son its getting tougher because there are photos where both are in there.

My friend told me not to divide by topic but instead by year.

Also my iPhone number scheme has flipped so now my photos are down to lower numbers which is screwing up the sorting.

How do you all handle the naming format issue and then the folder structures.

Thank you
