Get excited the Dear Snarky Grab Bag is back! We’ve got four mini Dear Snarky letters to discuss and they’re a tad juicy. Then it’s a rant palooza about why in the hell are there still “cake smashes” at weddings? Make it make sense. My Observation is can you be overly friendly and polite to the point of rudeness? Then just for funsies I share my Pilates near death experience. Finally, the Snarky C

Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #94: Lap It Up
We’re starting off with a Dear Snarky letter from a woman who calls her man “perfect.” So, why is she writing me a Dear Snarky Letter? 🤔 Next up is something called a wedding “personal attendant.” Say hello to being a bride’s bitch with none of the fun of being a bridesmaid. Then thank God for the internet because I went down the rabbit hole of interior designer vs decorator. The comment section
Snarky in the Suburbs #93: Top Down
Get ready for a Dear Snarky Grab Bag. In this pod I’m sharing a couple of letters that will make you shake your head while muttering WTH. Then I’ve got a “True Life Tale” of how I was threatened by a septuagenarian gang and I’m not exaggerating when I tell you things got intense.

Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #92: Double Wedding
Who wants a double wedding? Not the woman who wrote me this Dear Snarky letter and I don’t blame her for wanting to take a hard pass. Next up I’ve got a rant about my response to the question of what’s the best advice I’ve ever received. Let’s just say my answer wasn’t well received. The observation is about “prom maxxing” and it explains so much about current wedding culture. The Snarky Confessio
Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #91: Tracked
This rarely happens but I have a Dear Snarky letter that has left me totally confused. I not only don’t have an answer for this letter but it made me do one of my least favorite things – self-reflection. My Peeves are people who refuse to accept that it’s okay to be old and tan maxxing. Stop the madness! Then in my Observation I get mad when someone tells me I’m old. But rest assured I have my rea
Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #90: Giddy Up!
Giddy up, I’ve got a Dear Snarky letter round up that’s delish. Most especially, an update on the weird doctor letter from last week.

Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #89: The Big Lie
Y’all I’ve got a Dear Snarky letter that’s taking up a lot of space in my brain and I’m betting it’s going to be messing with your brain as well. 🤯 Then I’ve got some vacation rants.

Next up we’re going to discuss being alone and not lonely and I’ve got some advice for the “dump your bucket” friend. I finish up w
Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #88: Bestie Breakup
We’re starting out with a Dear Snarky letter about a friendship breakup. Ouch, that always hurts but is the letter writer as innocent as she sounds? In not so breaking news, I have another rant about weddings. Sorry but it needed to be done. The Snarky Confessional has been busy with a true-life story of me being thwarted by summer water fun – yet again. If you want more Snarky goodness run don’t

I also go off on youth sports and have a moment of reflection about something that bring
Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #86: Pool Float Trauma
Well, we have a doozy of a Dear Snarky letter to kick off the pod with. You know it’s going to be good when the signature on the letter is “I’ve seen evil.” My rant is what some people would call champagne problems, but I call it this vacay kind of sucks. In the Observation department more about the Met Gala and the challenges of heeding the call of nature in a ginormous dress. The Snarky Confessi

Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #69: The Sleep Divorce
A “sleep divorce” gets nasty in the latest Dear Snarky letter. How nasty you ask?

Y’all, I’ve got another Dear Snarky letter where I think this woman’s "mom card" might need to be pulled. Just wait till you hear it. In the peeve arena I’m letting it loose about idiots who get on planes. People either need to do better or stay home. In the Snarky Confessional I have a very unpopular revelation. It’s that I hate summer. I hate it with every fiber of my being and it all
Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #28: "For Shame!"
Y’all things are starting off spicy because I’m hot over a Dear Snarky letter. In fact, I don’t know the last time a letter has made me this mad. My peeve is thankfully less dramatic but still irritating. I just read an article about “Fashion No’s” for women over 50 and it’s beyond ridiculous. In the Snarky Confessional I get real about the C word and no it’s not the word you think it is. 😉For mor
Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #27: Wedding Disaster in the Making
I’ve got a Dear Snarky letter about a wedding planner nightmare and, of course, it involves family. (Sigh.) My peeve is about parenting. People say parents have gotten worse and I say there’s always been parents who have sucked. In the Snarky Confessional I reveal a personality trait that might leave you vastly disappointed. Sorry. For more Snarky goodness please go to my linktree and give my five
Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #26: Burned
We’re starting off with a Dear Snarky letter about a divorced mom who tosses her wedding dress into a fire pit and her 20-year-old daughter is burning with rage. The peeve arena is jam packed with rants ranging from “I can see your bra” to “radical honesty.” In the Snarky Confessional it starts with a garage sale and ends in murder (or at least it could end in murder). For more Snarky goodness pl
Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #25 "RUN!"
It’s my 25th podcast! 🎉 I actually thought I wouldn’t make it to number five but here we all are getting our Snarky on. Today I’ve got another letter from a Gen Xer craving a divorce. This woman wants one only after five months of marriage. Yikes! In the peeve department I let loose on three mini peeves starting with the fact that not everyone woman wants to look sexy and by every woman I mean me.
Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #24 "Parent Trap"
I’ve got a Dear Snarky letter that we need to talk about. A woman who’s wanted a divorce for five years and yet is afraid to get one because her 30something daughters are freaking out over their parents splitting up. Just WTH?In the peeve department we all need to agree that there are just too many graduations. Do we really need pre-K and 3rd grade graduation ceremonies? NO. Now let’s saunter off
Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #23: "I Spy"
Lord help us the pod starts with a Dear Snarky letter that has me siding with the letter writer and then after a couple of paragraphs I’ve got the icks. I shake off those icks and head to my peeve – bitches. I’m actually pro bitch and you’re going to find out why. Then I take my bitchy self and swagger on over to the Snarky Confessional where I share just one of my stories about being a private de
Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #22: Pooped!
It's a podcast that's flush with snarky goodness! The Dear Snarky letter is about a house being hit hard with toilet paper but the problem isn't the T.P. it's a neighbor being intentionally stupid. In the pet peeve department, I go off on college and I share that my family calls me the “Dream Killer.” (#rude) Next up is the Snarky confession where I divulge that I've got a bad
Snarky in the Suburbs Episode 21: Weekend Snark!
Yay!!! It's Weekend Snark. I'm trying out adding in a weekend podcast so let me know if it should stay or go. Today I've got a juicy update to the "Happiness Hoarder" letter from podcast episode three. Then I move on to buzzy topics that include Prince Harry, Bravo's "The Valley", and the "romance" of the 73-year-old former Patriots coach and a 24-year
Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #20: Princess For a Day
Y'all this Dear Snarky letter is a hoot! A woman is upset that at almost 60 she's been asked to be a bridesmaid in a wedding and dress like a Disney Princess. In the peeve department I've got three and I'm starting with "horseshoe" jeans and go deep on why "Giving Grace" is giving me the icks. In the Snarky Confessional we go on a journey to when I had to take
Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #19: I Was a Bridezilla
We’re starting off strong with a Dear Snarky letter that made me howl. As in would you wear the world’s ugliest mother-of-the groom dress to keep your future daughter-in-law happy? For me it’s a solid oh hell no. Moving on to peeves I examine the grandparent hate that’s taking over my social media feed. Do grandparents in 2025 suck? Then prepare yourself for things getting weird at the Snarky Conf
