Macon Candy 2020s: Sweeter with Time: Macon's Swamp Ape Caught on Tape Again!

Welcome to Macon Candy: Est. 2009

Macon Candy is a personal blog and musings of Macon, Georgia resident, mother and music history tour guide Jessica Walden.

From Jessica:

For over a decade now, I've documented life through this blog. Macon Candy started in 2009 from a dog's point of view of courtship and living life unleashed. In 2011, we switched when Jamie and I got hitched, and rocked out our wedding details right here. After that, our family story began, starting with the roller coaster of pregnancy. In 2014, we welcomed our son, Walden, and Macon Candy entered the full-throttle love and battle cry of working motherhood. Now, it's spring 2020, the midst of a global pandemic. And I've returned to this space with a world that is revolving, a shift that is evolving and words that never stop turning.
