Aha Moments and Life Lessons From the New Edition Family Tree

I'm an NE 4 Lifer, but I didn't show up to the party until 1985 or 86. Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, Mike, Ralph, and Johnny of New Edition are The Temptations, The Jacksons, and The Beatles of my generation. Period, full stop don't argue with me about this. They provided the soundtrack of our lives. We sang each hit and tried, some unsuccessfully, to recreate their intricate choreography. We've gone from wanting to be Candy Girls to playing Can You Stand the Rain at our weddings, to playing I'm Still In Love With You at our anniversary parties/vowel renewals to yes, playing Is This The End at divorce parties. Don’t even get me started on that madness, but yes divorce parties are a real thing.

Teasha Bivins: Bivfam, Beauty, Brains, and Boss Moves.

Teasha Bivins is the fiercest superhuman not currently residing in Wakanda.

Teasha Bivins is a full-fledged super hero,  making super human things appear normal. Sorry Wonder Woman, life comes at you fast sometimes. If I started naming and defining all of her job titles, descriptions, and duties her birthday (October, 20), would be over long before I finished. She's smart, accomplished, beautiful, and the fly behind Michael Bivins' fly.  As descriptive as those words are they only scratch the surface of who and what the dynamo  is to so many people. In addition to being Michael Bivins' wife, Teasha is also the mother of the couple's four gorgeous daughters, a high-powered real estate broker, an executive producer, fashionista, daughter, sister, friend, god-mother, and well you get the point.... She's a meta-human.

MasterChef Junior Recap: Breakfast of Champions

The Blue Team's execution of breakfast is almost flawless. Guests rave about the fluffiness of their pancakes and their breakfast sandwiches. When a sticky waffle threatens to cost the Blue Team their perfect service, Christina and Evan reel the team in long enough to complete the order and finish their orders. After service ends, Evan says he's sure they've won because they got out every plate, unlike the other team. And he's right.
