99 Dates to Remember

The Couples Adventure Guide




This super fun book disrupts the dating scene in that you get to measure the success of each date as you go. 

Plus, there is a section to include a photograph, movie ticket, receipt or other paste-ons in the book. 


What I Loved About the Book:

The author, Jennifer Ocean, offers straightforward dating ideas; no wading through reams of pages desperately searching for 'the one.' 

Simple, achievable date ideas. 

Not only that, the dates are divided into three segments: 

  • at home, 
  • outdoors, 
  • places to go  
You get to choose.


What I Didn't Love About the Book:

This is subjective, I'll admit, but I felt the dating suggestions were primarily aimed at younger adults. 

🏎️🏎️ For example, I wouldn't go go-karting on a date, however, in my thirties I did go on an Advanced Driving Course date, so there's that.




Why I Would Recommend this Book:

Each segment is guided by cost, with plenty of free, affordable, or extravagant options to choose from.

Many of the author's date suggestions include opportunities anyone can do. Some of my favourites include: 


  • Movie Marathon - We're talking about cuddling up together under a fuzzy blanket or resting on plush cushions with a big bowl of your favourite snacks.

  • Board Game Night - A game neither of you have ever played before. My experience was 'Exit the Abandoned Cabin' which we never achieved, but had a great time trying.

Others I would recommend: Bike-ride to a new area, rooftop dining combined with stargazing, learn a language.


How This Book Can Benefit You:


It is well documented that couples who invest time in each other reap the rewards for years to come. 


This is true of regularly scheduled date outings. 

A date does not always need to be romantic, but it should always be memorable. 


>>> It should always bring a deeper appreciation for your partner and deeper insight into your awareness. 


These are the valuable attributes every couple should nurture in a relationship to help it thrive.

The Kind of Life You Want

Redefining Love and Marriage https://unsplash.com/@jennymarvin Committing to a life-long marriage through difficult times takes a lot of courage. I had to define for myself the kind of life I wanted. Was I willing to forgo some of my identity to take on the characteristics of a partner who, just 30 years ago, was a complete stranger to me? Had I really got to know him at all? In this life that we share, how deeply had we truly got to know each other? Not so deeply at all, I was to learn. In spite of the many epiphanies through our year-long travel escapade, what we did on a daily basis in the humdrum of a nine to five lifestyle eroded the  lessons learnt and the coping mechanisms we had adopted. Outwardly we have a wonderfully marvelous life, yet our invisible introspection, unseen by those around us, slowly dims the light in both of our eyes. Old habits took over as we forgot to create special moments together. Our lives became mechanical. Learning to redefine the meaning of l...

There's Always a Solution I said this to a friend the other day who was struggling with tech stuff. She was so grateful for the boost that  she persevered for an entire week , but she did it!  So let’s just expand on the notion here, that ' there's always a solution.' Elora Canne - Memoir Writer I'm delighted to share my conversation with you, from the Living Big Mindfully podcast where host, Kate Champion, and I discussed many later-in-life relationship topics.  But I'm particularly interested in sharing with you, the notion that there is indeed always a solution .  Not only in everyday life situations, as told above, but also in those deeper, more difficult to navigate situations as you'll discover on the podcast. There is always a way around a hurdle,  even if you can't jump over it. To listen in on our conversation, insights and solutions, tap this link:  Living Big Mindfully Podcast Book News: 🫂 Allow me to focus, just for a minute, on those solut...
