Colonial Life

Dear Diary,

Today I made a dress for Nina my Daughter she leaped with joy. I am very dreadful because I have to make soap, the last time I did it I burned myself with my fellow homemaker. It smells horrible and is very messy. It was kind of difficult for my husband to work because of the snow, and it was hard for me to wash our clothes and dry them. Today all of the homemakers went to go haul water, after that i told Nina to go heat it, and she burned herself.  Today I made a mistake I put one of the wet clothes outside and it froze. So it’s kind of hard being a homemaker, but it is still cool to do.
