Imagine the Possibilities. Imagine the Joy. Imagine the Extraordinary.
“Imagination is more important than knowledge” --Albert Einstein
This is an important quote for me lately, because I'm afraid I've been lacking in knowledge to impart to my little ones. I've been ill, using the only energy I have to go through the motions of living a normal life. So in addition to the physical discomfort, I've been struggling with the guilt that comes with understimulated, bored, neglected children. Exasperated, I begged them please, please play without mommy for a little while. And guess what? They did! And they didn't just play, they created a fantastic make believe world all alone in the basement. My 5 and 3 year old girls turned themselves into culinary experts who had a specialty foods store and were food network stars. They were performing their daily cooking show when I came down to check on them. Here are a couple stills from the syndicated program:
So I watched, enchanted, as these incredible little people showed me that their imaginations can take them places beyond where I could ever carry them. Which reminds me of another quote from another brilliant pioneer:
“Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere” --Carl Sagan

“Imagination” could very well be this ExtraordinaryMommy's middle name.
When I grow up, I want to be Mary Savacool. 
This mother of two delightful little girls, 5 year old Anna and 3 year old Audrey, has a gift for playing with her children that most ExtraordinaryMommys would love to mimic. It is this gift she has agreed to share with you, as imaginative play is not only good for your children; it is fuel for YOUR soul.
Prior to eagerly accepting her position as a Stay at Home mom, Mary spent 11 years in Marketing and Advertising, specializing in integrated programs and market analysis. From home, she has successfully developed a Bank Marketing Freelance practice and currently works as a Marketing Consultant to the Financial Services Industry.
Happily married for 8 years to husband Scott, Mary views Mothering as the greatest gift, biggest challenge and largest responsibility of her life. Together, she and Scott “are committed to cultivating strong roots for Anna and Audrey while developing their wings so that they may fly.”
