The phrase "about every year" is not standard in written English and may cause confusion.
It can be used informally to indicate something that occurs approximately each year, but it is better to use more precise language.
Example: "We try to take a family vacation about every year, but sometimes it doesn't happen."
Alternatives: "approximately every year" or "roughly each year".
