Today marks the “Sweet 16” Anniversary of the very first post on The Healthy Home Economist blog. 🥳
Here are a few fun facts you may not have known about this journey and personal Labor of Love:
- The blog currently has 2344 published articles, well over 2000 of which I personally authored.
- The hundreds of guest articles are written by a wide range of over 30 experts in their field including dentists, medical doctors, naturopaths, chiropractors, dieticians, nutritionists, homeopaths and farmers!
- My youngest child was 4 years old when I started and is now a junior in college!
- The blog has 541 traditional foodie recipes organized into 16 primary categories (with many more subcategories) for easy searching to find the perfect dish to round out your family’s meal plan or special occasion!
- There are 315 natural remedies on the blog to help with all manner of health challenges to help you avoid the pharmaceutical approach.
- I’ve filmed well over 300 videos demonstrating traditional cooking techniques in my home kitchen.
- The Healthy Home Plus membership library contains hundreds of articles covering important controversial health content that is STILL highly censored in search engines and social media.
- The blog’s social media footprint from all channels totals over a quarter million followers. This has all been gained organically…I’ve never paid for my fans to ensure no bloated totals from bots!
- I’ve published three books (one was an Amazon #1 bestseller!) and another 4 eBooks available via Healthy Home Plus.
- The most popular page on the blog continues to be the homepage, the same as it has been since 2009. To me, this is a testament to all of you…dear readers…continuing to share the simple, enduring wisdom of traditional diet and natural health with your family and friends in the face of so many faddish diet philosophies that become all the rage for a time and then disappear within a few years.
Many of you have been with me from the beginning….
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your continued encouragement and friendship 🥰
Article and recipe comments from OG readers are so incredibly important for traditional diet newcomers!
Not to mention that your engagement is incredibly helpful feedback for me too!
With the increasingly confusing digital space surrounding healthy food (with so many bought-off influencers on both sides of the aisle), places like this…an OG Mommy Blog that is still independently edited and curated… are increasingly becoming a safe haven from the propaganda!
“Happy Sweet 16”! Thanks for all you content. I always appreciate your recipes and information. You are at the top of my list for help!

Happy 16th anniversary! I really don’t know where I would be without your blog full of information. I’ve learned so much from you, Sarah! I’m so grateful God led me to your blog when I was so very sick and needed so many answers and information, but there are so few out there that can be trusted. I trust you, Sarah and eagerly await your posts. And I’m forever grateful for Healthy Home Plus! Thank you Sarah!❤️
Dear Sarah,
Happy 16th Anniversary of your wonderful blog! I search your wealth of information and articles regularly, share them with others often, and am very grateful for the time and effort you have put in over the years to create this awesome and amazing body of work and resources! Just recently, I reminded my husband about your simple recipe for eye drops, as he has used OTC ones for years, and he finally decided to give them a try. He loves them!!! He made 3 bottles of them, so he has one nearby whenever needed. That is but one example of the hundreds of times my family, friends, and I have benefitted from your blog. THANK YOU!
Thank you Sarah for those 16 yrs. You did GOOD!
Yours is still one of the first places I go for solid and trustworthy info, thanks for everything Sarah!
Love,
Kelly
