Welcome to At Home on Thacker Grove

Grab a cup of tea and stay a while.

Howdy, friend! I’m Leslie, the heart behind "At Home on Thacker Grove." I’m a stay-at-home mom, homeschool teacher, homemaker, cook, and dreamer—living life one beautiful, chaotic day at a time. Here at Thacker Grove, we celebrate simple joys, slow living, and the faith that roots us deeply in life’s blessings.

Our Story

Thacker Grove isn’t just a place; it’s a way of life. From cozy kitchen recipes to homeschool lessons around the table, we’re on a journey to build a home filled with love, learning, and laughter. With four sweet kids underfoot and the occasional muddy boots tracking in, every day is an adventure—and I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

This blog is where I share bits of our life:

Family adventures (near and far).

Faith-filled moments that keep us grounded.

Homeschool days filled with curiosity and wonder.

Homemaking tips to keep the home cozy and clean.

It’s a place for moms, families, and anyone who longs for a simpler, more intentional life

Our Family Values

At the heart of Thacker Grove, we strive to live by these four values:

Faith First


We trust in God’s plan and root our daily lives in prayer, grace, and gratitude.

Family Matters Most

Our home is our sanctuary, where laughter, love, and togetherness always come first.

Simple Living

We cherish the beauty of a slow, intentional life—filled with homemade meals, hard work, and small joys.

Lifelong Learning

Whether through homeschooling or life’s little lessons, we believe in curiosity, creativity, and growing together as a family.
