  • This has become a bit of a Saturday night tradition in our house, the kids have insisted on it.Once it's made we sit & watch a film together, eating pizza, it's the only time they are allowed to eat in front of the TV.
  • We all work together making the pizza, we all have different tasks and work to make it all go as quickly & smoothly as possible!
  • Every now & again I catch my husband's eye & we know that this will be a time that we'll reminisce about when the kids are much older.It feels like precious time!
