Blossom Magazine #IWantToBe Campaign

Can you remember what you wanted to be when you were young? I wanted to be midwife, helping bring babies into the world. As I got older I changed my mind and wanted to travel the world with the armed forces, although the love of being a midwife has always kept a place at the back of my mind.

Having children makes you want the best for their future, to open the door to opportunities that myself and Mr Boo might not have had growing up. This being said it is always funny asking Roo or Tigger what they would like to be when they are older. Tigger generally answers the same by wanting to be ‘a really useful engine on the Island of Sodor‘ (bless him).

Roo thoughts about future job opportunities change from day to day, it can be a pop princess one minute just like Katy Perry, to being a teacher, to wanting to save the world.

Blossom Magazine has this week launched a brilliant competition for their readers. The Blossom Magazine #IWantToBe campaign is asking young readers to submit a video entry of what they want to be when they grow up.

Entrants have until 6th September to submit their video to the email address of hello@blossommagazine.co.uk and one winner will be selected to win a VIP London family trip which includes one family ticket to ZSL London with a Meet the Meerkats experience; one Rainforest Café voucher worth £100; overnight accommodation in one family room at 3-star hotel, in Central London and a visit to Blossom HQ plus a Blossom Goody Bag.

With each edition of the magazine, Blossom features a different aspirational career to show girls they can be whoever they want to be – whether it’s an airline pilot, an author or a doctor.

I wonder what Roo wants to be today?
