Upvotable #8: Parenting, Homesteading, and a Sketch of Me!

Where can we collaborate to make a great reading list each day with different authors? What are the most upvotable posts today? How do we help our most underpaid authors earn their value to us? This 8th upvotable post is the best answer I have today for these questions. I believe the more we help each other earn enough from Steemit to make it a priority, the greater rewards we receive in exchange for our time on Steemit!

My vision for these upvotable posts is to help us all discover the authors we will love to read for years and help new authors on Steemit make a high enough income to make Steemit a priority as we have done for me and thousands of others already.

Would you please join me in reading the posts here because we collaborated on this together at https://steemit.com/curation/@jerrybanfield/upvotable-7-busy-org-eating-vegan-and-poetry with me delaying publication until today because of traveling? If you are interested in sharing your own post or sharing someone else's content with everyone, would you please read the the criteria at the end and post your comment below?

• @kristin.nova tells us why it is important to love the friends of your kids! Would you read this post at https://steemit.com/life/@kristin.nova/loving-your-kids-friends-well. Found by @iann earning 10 SBD. This beautiful post made it too late for me to vote up because I just was ready to post it now. I voted this new post up at https://steemit.com/life/@kristin.nova/setting-healthy-boundaries-part-1 instead because the easiest way to give when a post is over 7 days is to vote up a new post that is similar!
• @sthomestead A cancer diagnosis leads to a revolution in homesteading that I am now on board with! Read this post at https://steemit.com/homesteading/@sthomestead/homesteading-saved-my-life. Found by @winvideos earning 10 SBD.

• @leafhopperfarm tells us about their newest chicks on their farm and how chickens are a staple to their farm's livestock! Would you read this post at https://steemit.com/permaculture/@leafhopperfarm/permaculture-chicken-living. Found by @farmstead earning 10 SBD.

• @masteranibal reminds us all that our time is limited and we need to spend it efficiently. They say that most people are actually inefficient when it comes to the limited time they have. Read their post at https://steemit.com/time/@masteranibal/our-time-is-limited-so-use-yours-efficiently.
• @aarellanes shares a very easy week night meal and one delicious looking recipe with us, Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Avocado with lime. Looks delicious! See his step by step recipe at https://steemit.com/food/@aarellanes/easy-healthy-week-night-recipes-1-or-sweet-potato-avocado-mash.

@aarellanes I appreciate you taking the time and effort that you put into creating this list for myself and everyone else to read because without you taking the time to check all the comments and all the posts and write the draft for this and send the SBD this would not be happening.

Would you like to be included in our reading list in our next "Upvotable Post Series" post? If so, would you please submit the posts you think I need to read in the comments below because this is how we make these each day?

1. Earn 10 SBD as a finder fee paid by me via @aarellanes if you share a post by another author! You are also welcome to submit your own posts but do not earn any finder fee! Use the tag upvotable on any post you would like to submit without making a comment here!
2. The voting deadline is 7 days from posting meaning that newer posts that are really worth the read with smaller rewards are best because these will help the authors most with our upvotes! Please do not include any "IntroduceYourself" posts because we want to help promote Steemit authors that have already made it past an introduction and are repeatedly taking their time and energy to help us here.
3. If your post is accepted by the reviewer @aarellanes we will both upvote it 100% and I will also follow you to see your posts in my feed! My upvote is currently worth about $5 to $10 while the upvotes of your fellow readers could easily add up to over $100.
4. Each day as long as you think this is a worthwhile use of our time, we will keep doing another post like this! I appreciate you encouraging me in the comments to keep doing these! If you want to reach me in the comments, I recommend doing it on my non upvotable posts because Albert goes through the comments on these posts.

Would you please upvote this if you would like to keep reading these each day because the SBD rewards are funded by upvotes on this post?

Love,
Jerry Banfield
