Welcome to Makin’ Macon, a place where I love to share encouragement for families, marriage, ministry, and homemaking.

Hello! I’m Susan and I am a wife of a pastor, mother of two, and homemaker.  I grew up as a Pastor’s kid in a small town in Tennessee.  As a child, family was very important.  Often you would find the family gathered together riding ATV’s (three-wheelers in my day), spending lazy summers riding bicycles, or traipsing through the woods.  Even when my parents had to preach out of town, they would make sure to include something fun in the trip.  I look back on these memories and believe it has something to do with how I view the importance of family today.

I have a passion for learning new things within the home such as: sourdough, home cooking, gardening, home remedies, DIY’s, or learning a new song.  In my free time, you will find me in the kitchen testing out some new recipe I have recently found with my little boy by my side.  Other times you might find me out in my yard tending to my flowers or trying to keep my vegetable garden alive.

I have two dogs and a cat. Teddy Bear, Chase, and Cheez-It.  I will say though, they are more for my children than myself.

We currently own a freeze dried candy business called Macon Sweet Farms.  If you have never tried freeze dried candy or even fruit, you definitely need to.  Of all we have made, freeze dried Jello is my favorite.  You can find Macon Sweet Farms on Instagram and Facebook.
