No scary surprises

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.
