The Big Sister
It turns out that it wasn’t only the adults who wanted to help out. Mikayla was now the eldest of 8 children and she wanted to take on some responsibilities of her own. Whenever she could, she would help feed the babies, play with them and help her mom and dad out in any way she could.

Additionally, they set out to search for the best discounts and deals at supermarkets in their area, like the time Bobbi bought 60lb of hamburgers just because they were at a discounted price. On average, the family was spending about $300 for groceries each month – a good reduction from how they had started.
