Finding common ground in the distribution of household chores. Though agreement can be found in two areas: pizza and the family dog (more on the family dog for another story). How can you serve pizza regularly without it being pulled from a cardboard box? We spent a month creating different versions that are simple, delicious, even healthy and all-natural to promote a happy home.
