A mum -of-10 has revealed she fills four shopping trolleys a week with food and spends a whopping £2,660 on each child’s birthday presents.
Taina Licciardo-Toivola is mum to Romeo, Jerusalem, Cleopatra, Shakespeare, Omega, D'Artagnan, Nefertiti, KingJames and Aphrodite.
The Finnish-Australian mum and her family live on a plant-based diet and she homeschools all her children, meaning she has been teaching for two decades.
The mum shares an insight in to her life as a mother-of-ten by sharing videos of their life on YouTube and Instagram.
In one of the videos Taina shows off her daughter’s fourth birthday gifts which she says cost her £2,660, according to the Daily Star.
The mum explained that she spent five months buying the presents.
Speaking on her Instagram page, Taina said: "We couldn’t decide what gifts to buy Aphrodite for her 4th birthday party so we just bought them all!
"She didn’t know what to do when she saw them. Hope you enjoyed the YouTube video. It was a bit long but so fun to watch!
"There are two kitchens ( one country style & one modern style), and one shop. All three with ALL THE ACCESSORIES!"
In another social media clip the mum showed off her incredible weekly food shop, reports the Sun.
Taina grabs four trolleys worth of stuff on her shopping trips and focuses on vegan, fresh and unprocessed foods.
The mum said: "We don't usually try new products out, we just leave things because otherwise you're just going to start buying it and that's not a good thing.
"One thing we're going to get is some frozen vegetables just in case, like the beans, if you're in a big rush.
"We're going to buy two bags of frozen vegetables and they might be there for a few months.
"I don't buy berries or mushrooms. We pick our own mushrooms all over Finland.
"I hope you enjoyed our shopping trip. Our children are not fussy, they eat whatever we give them.
"I hear parents say their really kids are fussy but if you just say 'this is what you're eating', they will learn to eat that way. Give it a few weeks, they're not going to die.
"Give them what you want them to eat, they will learn not to be fussy."
In another video, Taina shared her “favourite thing about being a mum-of-10".
She said: I can't think of one thing. My favourite thing is my whole dream of what I wanted is complete.
"I have more than I had ever imagined, so every day is a bonus."
