Planning with Purpose: A Family-First Vision for 2026 in Bali

January 10, 2026

Here we are… our first long, wind-your-way-through-it post for 2026 🤍 This photo is us at the dining table, laptops open, diaries out, coffee nearby, quietly mapping out what the year ahead could look like. And honestly, having a plan matters to us more now than ever. Not a rigid, locked-in plan. But an intentional one. We always start the same way. Us first; our health, our energy, our marriage, making sure we’re good. Then the kids; their learning, their passions, their rhythms, their joy. Then we zoom out to the bigger picture; our business, our team, supporting our staff here on the ground, and making sure Bali Family Finds continues to grow in a way that feels aligned and meaningful. And finally… social media. Because while it looks like work (and let’s be honest, it is), it’s also meant to stay the fun part. The storytelling part. The sharing part. We have a lot on our plates. Ideas, projects, dreams, half-written lists and big hopes for 2026. But one thing we know for sure is that we don’t want to plan without you. So this is where we’d love your help 🤍 What do you want to see more of this year? What’s been helpful? What do you come here for? More guides? More slow Bali life? More practical family info? More behind the scenes? Less of something? Drop it below. Every comment genuinely helps us shape what’s coming. Thank you for being here. Thank you for reading our long captions. And thank you for saying hello when we bump into you around the island – those moments mean more to us than you probably realise. We love knowing that in some small (or big) way, we’re helping shape your Bali memories. Here’s to planning with intention, leading with family, and sharing the love of this island in 2026 ✨ C + M #BaliFamilyFinds #PlanningWithPurpose #FamilyFirst #LifeInBali #2026Planning

Here we are—our first deep-dive into 2026, from our kitchen table in Bali. The coffee’s strong, the kids are playing nearby, and the diaries are open. This isn’t just a planning session—it’s an intention-setting moment for a year we hope will be full of heart, purpose, and a whole lot of family magic. We always start simply: with us. Our wellness, our energy, and our marriage come first—because when we’re good, everything else flows better. Next up: our kids. Their learning, play, passions, and growth. Bali offers so much for curious little minds, and we want to make sure their days here feel rich and full. Then it's time to zoom out. Our work with Bali Family Finds continues to evolve. Supporting our growing team here, building resources that genuinely help families settling into or visiting Bali, and creating guides that reflect the real, lived-in experience of this island—is all part of the plan. And lastly, social media. While it’s our ‘business face,’ it’s also where we connect, share stories, and stay playful. So here’s where we’d love your input. What do you want more of? <ul> <li>More updated family guides?</li> <li>Behind-the-scenes of our Bali life?</li> <li>Day-to-day rhythm tips for families?</li> <li>Or maybe just more slow, soulful snapshots of life here?</li> </ul> Leave a comment, send a message—your voice shapes how we show up this year. Thanks for being part of this journey. For waving hello in cafes, reading our longer musings, and being part of something real. Here’s to planning with purpose, leading with love, and growing a Bali family life that feels just right for 2026 ✨ Warmly, C + M
