How to do Laundry

Laundry is much easier to do these days, rather than the way I had to it in the beginning. That being said, doing laundry is simple right? This is true until whites come out pink or a load of colors has bright red lipstick (no, the lipstick doesn’t come out) all over them.

One Day at a Time

One of the hardest things I had to learn was that there are twenty-four hours in a day. Anyone over the age of six knows this, right? Time is infinite, but we cannot go back or save it up to use it later. Time is not some movie where we can gamble with it. I learned that life will change in a blink of an eye when I was thirteen.

Southern Cornbread

This recipe has been in my heart and head for about 50 yrs. When I learned this recipe, I also learned that you can measure ingredients with a coffee cup and a teaspoon. I have had to adjust this for altitude and oven temperatures, but it works more often than not.

Making a Grocery List

Benjamin Franklin was once quoted saying, “In this world, nothing is certain except death and taxes.” I think this list should be expanded. In my world, this list should include grocery shopping, laundry, cooking, and washing dishes. The list goes on.

Thoughts about me

Hello, My name is Merry Sunshine. In this time of new normal and change, I have decided to take a step forward and help others with the knowledge I have accumulated over the years. I only hold down-to-earth pearls of wisdom but no degrees. However, I did graduate from the school of a hard knock with honors.

Kitchen Menageries with Merry

Those who have chosen to visit this section, you should prepare for something different. My grandfather was the best cook in my family. He taught me to make the most of what I have. I have taken that advice into everything I do. I am a do-it-yourself person. Like most of the things on here, they have been done simply and are budget-friendly. They also have room for using your imagination and making it your own.

Miss Merry’s Muses

Lao Tzu once said, ” Time is a created thing. To say I don’t have time is to say I don’t want to.” Waking up every morning and laying your head down to sleep at night is not a guarantee.

Merry’s lessons learned

This section is dedicated to life lessons they did not teach you in school. Some schools systems, over the years, have omitted classes such as home economics, shop, and free driver’s education due to budgeting issues. I was fortunate to be able to have these classes to help me navigate life.
