Important COVID-19 update from Lexiebean

Dear Friends of The Lexiebean Foundation, As we navigate these uncertain times, we have to make everyone’s health and safety the highest priority. As such, we are postponing our 10th annual Wish Upon A Star Gala which was scheduled for April 24th 2020. We hope to reschedule this special event, and we will keep you […]


9th Annual Gala

Join Lexiebean Foundation on April 12 for a memorable evening when you can help children dealing with cancer to “wish upon a star.” The Wish Upon A Star Gala is an annual event that aims to raise funds to support the Foundation’s important work with childhood cancer patients. Held at the Crest Hollow Country Club […]


Loneliness is Loud and Clear

I’ve noticed in the past year or so that Chase “pretends” quite often while he is playing.  He will be down in his playroom, playing with legos, or dressing up like Luke Skywalker, or even just coloring and I hear him talking to someone as if he has a playmate.  Now, I’m no stranger to […]


Learning Curve

Chase is almost 6 years old.  He started Kindergarten this year, and the things he has learned and can do never never cease to amaze me.  This is uncharted territory for me, all this “school” stuff… Tanner should be in 3rd grade, and I should be a pro by now… it’s really strange when your […]


Show your support for Lexie’s Legs Team Members!

We have several teams running The Ocean to sound Relay on September 27th 2015 to raise awareness to our Mission and raise money to assist families with children battling pediatric cancer. The Lexiebean Foundation has a running team that will run various races throughout the year and we are currently looking for a few recruits […]


What Should’ve Been…

Today as I took Chase by the hand to his Kindergarten orientation, as I scrolled through my facebook newsfeed looking at hundreds of smiling faces in freshly pressed outfits with new haircuts and new backpacks… I couldn’t help but think about “what should’ve been”. Today was bittersweet.  Chase is starting Kindergarten at his elementary school.  […]

You Can Take the Mom Out of Oncology…

…but you can’t take the oncology out of the mom. According to the Severe Weather Laboratory, lightning can strike the same place twice.  They say that it could be a statistical fluke, but it could also be something about that site that makes it more likely to be struck.  Any mom-cologist would agree, our biggest […]


A Surprise Christmas Message from Tanner…

So, last night we saw Theresa Caputo, the LI Medium.  We have seen her before, always in group settings, and she is amazing.  If you’ve ever seen her show, you know she has the funniest personality.  We weren’t planning on going to this event, but like I’ve said before sometimes things just happen for a […]


Time

I have been putting off writing for a long time now.  I thought about writing at back to school time, with all the joys of watching Chase go off to school, and all the pain of looking at first day pictures knowing that I should have had two beautiful boys in my pictures too… thinking […]
