I could feel it coming.

We had visitors in town, the twins had two birthday parties, and then Valentine's day came. All of this celebration led to a gross overindulgence of sugar and screens.

By Valentine's Day, we were cranky, wired, over-tired, undernourished, overstimulated and sliding frantically down a slippery slope.

Screens and sugar – and especially their toxic combination – bring out the worst in us. They are the Achilles heel of the Rinna family.

So when their effects reared their ugly head during that week I knew without a doubt…

It was detox time.
