Hey, I’m Jackie.
I’m a mom, former librarian, and self-proclaimed budget nerd. We’re building our dream home with Schumacher here in Charleston, and my goal is to make this process way less overwhelming.
I love a good system (librarian habits die hard ), and this tracker is exactly how I’m keeping our build organized — and proving you can have coastal charm without overspending.
Never. Just budget-friendly tips, real-life updates, and the occasional small-town laugh.
Q: Will you spam me?
Nope! This works for any home build or remodel.
Q: Do I have to be building with Schumacher?
Great question! This freebie is the template I use.
Our full budget reveal — with every real number to the penny — is coming in October. Join the waitlist here.
