“What-a-week.” It started with Kevin Bacon singing Hangin’ Tough (yup, that happened); we learned about the history of the 6th member of the New Kids On The Block and then… Jordan Knight left Instagram.
We also celebrated Valentine’s Day (from which we’ll still recovering) but, a lot more happened on the block and at the blog.
So, here is everything you saw, and what you may have missed.

He Tweeted Me Back! “Donnie Knows” Edition
This should be a regular section… hashtag HTMB? But hey, if #SASOTOG works, why wouldn’t that one? Right? We loooove when one of the New Kids tweets us back and Donnie knows it well…
He Knows How to Make It Even More Emotional…
BHs from @NKOTBpolls on Twitter, created a poll on Monday regarding Donnie’s rap skills; they included: Block Party (38.1%); No More Games (Remix) (36.5%); Boys in the Band (20.8%) and “Other” (4.6%) To which Donnie replied:
“you guys left out a lot of options. just saying.

Coming Home (“I don’t wanna blame you, shame you, tame you — girl my only aim is to re last name you”)
I’m even forgetting some.”
And so, @julielushjordan wondered, “Am I the only Bh who has never heard ‘coming home’;” to whom Donnie also answered: “Here you go. #BHLove ❤️ (this one gets me in my feels)” and shared a clip of the video.
He Knows the Power of the Word “This”
… and he certainly knows how to use emojis too.
He Knows When TWUGS are Absolutely Needed
Because He Knows Exactly How We Feel…
“That deep “pit in the stomach” feeling that we all get when we miss each other?
— DonnieWahlberg, Feb 9, 2021
(You know the one).
Try not to think of it as sadness or pain.
Try, instead, to see the blessing of sharing a love so special that you could miss it that freaking much.
❤️
#thankful #BHLove.”
And Also… The Exact Moment to Make a Wish
Do you remember when you were a kid and you’d see on the clock that it was 1:11 or 2:12 which meant – of course – that it was the time to make a wish because that’s how we make wishes come true? (hashtag science says so!) Well, Donnie does it too
Meanwhile, In The Farmhouse
While Jonathan Knight kept counting the days on Twitter, for his show that’s premiering on March, he shared a few Instagram Posts. First he filmed Kristina (whose work is featured in this month’s HTGV magazine [IG])
Then he posted a photo of himself under a cover, saying, “Cold weather these past few days calls for not leaving the couch and watching @discoveryplus“
Ad Interim, In The Mac World…
On Monday night, Joey McIntyre went for another walk with his kids in the Central Park; he took and shared a pretty cool picture and also filmed the children playing in the snow ☺️
Plus, he reposted the Kevin Bacon’s clip, which we covered in Kevin Bacon Sings Hangin’ Tough (And That Time Joey… What!?)
Then on Tuesday, while he was listening to the radio, he posted a series of tweets saying, “Anybody notice how McGoose and Sen. Cruz sound very similar?? Cadence etc. [TW] I am listening on the radio. So it might be a little easier to make the comparison. [TW] The cadence. The cadence. [TW]“
And then…
“I’d like to apologize to @RepJoeNeguse. I was listening on the radio and heard it as McGoose. Either way you have an awesome nick name there: “Goose!!!” And great job today. 36 yrs old? You’re good! Hope you don’t mind the bi-partisan comparison”

Nice saved!
Finally on Saturday, he shared another extract of “East of Eden” which he’s about to finish reading.
The Wood “Totally” Works: Spanish 101
On the “The Wood Works” Danny cooked his “Mediterranean Shrimp and Chicken Sausage;” he says he “kind of made this one up,” and – while he goes through the recipe – he talks about his trips to Greece and how he loved the way the they cook: “whatever they caught that day, is what they cook,” Danny says; always fresh food on the menus at the restaurants!… So nice… Then, he sings and the dogs bark. Hashtag hilarious.
Besides the “manscaping issue,” it was interesting to discover the meaning of the word “Purée,” (which Danny explains as he grabs the tomato purée) because in Spanish it’s used in a different way. Danny refers to its French origins, in which the term means “purified or refined (…) and overlap with other dishes with similar consistency.” And, …, that is not exactly what it means in Spanish…
In Spanish, everything that’s mashed up, is “puré” (take one “e” of from the pronunciation)
- If you mash up potatoes, you get “puré de papas”
- If you mash up yourself (seriously, like when you work-out too much and get exhausted) you’d say, “Estoy hecha/o puré” and that would mean you’re exhausted… looking like mashed potatoes.
Funny, huh?
Check out the complete workout routine of Danny the past week on the next page.
Oh Captain, My Captain
On Wednesday night, Donnie stopped by (with Lumpy!) to tell us how much he loves us and… that “we’re gonna be together soon.” Hashtag YAY!
And… that’s a wrap!
Have the most wonderful week!
