Snarky in the Suburbs

You are not going to believe this Dear Snarky letter. A delightful grandma is getting some shady treatment from her daughter-in-law and I’m angry. Moving right along to the Peeve. Dear humanity, don't go barefoot on a plane especially when you’re next to me. My Observation is much more loving. It’s about the wonder of librarians. It’s followed by the Snarky Confession which is full of the wond...

It’s a two Dear Snarky letter podcast! So, double the fun people. In the Peeve department I go off on let’s call it “experienced parents” butting into younger moms business. My observation is the four stages of discovering your pop culture I.Q. is at zero. The Snarky Confessional is the final stage of my autumnal journey which concludes with a trip to a Haunted House.    For more Snarky goodness p...

Yay for all of us I’ve got three Dear Snarky updates! In the Peeve department I have a tale of woe about how I almost fell for a scam last week. Be careful out there people. My Observation is about “glam squads.” I love and respect makeup artists but is it a mistake to normalize having a glam squad? The Snarky Confessional is popping off with yet another story about my foray into cosplaying that I...

We’re starting off with a Dear Snarky that’s going to make you so mad and then sad and then mad all over again. In the Peeve department I know you’re probably sick of it but that’s notgoing to stop me because I’m going hard on weddings in 2025. My Observation is that I don’t understand hate watching TV shows. Someone please explain the charm. In the Snarky Confessional I try to time travel and dis...

Oops, I think I gave some bad or let’s call it “badish” advice in a Dear Snarky letter. I’m going to share it with you and let’s dissect. I’ve merged the Peeves and Observations into a grabbag of complaining so you know that’s going to be fun. In the Snarky Confessional we’re kicking it back to 1978 where I desperately wanted a perm, was rocking some nifty culottes and attempting to launch a prote...

We’re starting off with a very pouty Dear Snarky letter from parents who are incredibly upset that their daughter outsmarted them - big team. My Peeve is something that really ticks me off and it's parents who parade their child’s disappointments on social media. Here’s hoping that bites those parents in the backside – big time. The observation is about nerds and I’m not talking about the cand...

Y’all we got a Dear Snarky letter where a daughter wants her mom to take her mother-in-law out for coffee and give her a good old fashion “talking to.” Yikes! I’ve got a Peeve that might make me sound like a bad person but here goes. I don’t know if this is just me but I have discovered that behind some “Merry Sunshines” lurks pure evil. My Observation is about life coaches. Can anyone just say th...

Uh-oh, we’ve got a Dear Snarky letter that is absolutely ridiculous and involves parents and their adult daughters. MyPeeve is about grotesque Halloween decorations. I think we’ve surpassed scary and entered the realm of appalling. There’s two Observation, one which is harmless. It’s about gourds as in those gigantic tablescapes that leave no room for food. Lose the gourds, bring in the food – jus...

It’s a two Dear Snarky letter bonanza. I’m starting with a funeral and ending with a wedding that’s jam packed with red flags. My Peeve is about grandmas. Sorry but we need to talk about grandma baby showers and nana baby reveals. I just can’t with both of these. I’ve got two Observations. One is about the lack of people using the “block” feature of their phone and email. Another is why do Real Ho...

Yikes! I’ve got a Dear Snarky letter about a dirty kitchen that is giving me the heebie jeebies. My Peeve is about Vow Renewals, and I do a little side rant on a sorority sister. The Observation examines why I don’t trust people who always have their curtains closed. In the Confession from the Snarky Confessional I have yet another story about my lack of talent. Fortunately, my mother engaged in a...

Yikes! I’ve got a Dear Snarky letter about a dirty kitchen that is giving me the heebie jeebies. My Peeve is about Vow Renewals, and I do a little side rant on a sorority sister. The Observation examines why I don’t trust people who always have their curtains closed. In the Confession, from the Snarky Confessional, I have yet another story about my lack of talent. Fortunately, my mother engaged in...

Yay! I have three Dear Snarky letter updates because who doesn’t love an update? In the Peeve arena I go off on the “intensive parenting culture.” Then I calm down for my Observations – sort of. Can you believe fashion gurus are coming for “boomers in yoga pants?” Apparently leggings are aging us. I, for one, am not going to stand for it. The Confession from the Snarky Confessional is about how I...

We’re starting off with a Dear Snarky letter about a mom who way, way, way, overshared her current romantic situation with her daughters. In the Peeve arena I go off on aging. I just want to be allowed to get old and look old. Is that so wrong? My observation is about wool. Trust me it’s not as lame as it sounds. And in the Snarky Confessional I share a tale about marital shenanigans. Yes, it’s ju...

Y’all I’ve got a Dear Snarky letter that has me asking myself WTH? Hello, women of a certain age think carefully before you get remarried. In the Peeve department I examine why more and more women are very happily choosing to staysingle. That’s not my peeve. My peeve is why is society surprised by this. My observations are a little odd. I go off on “hair training” and power washers. And in the Sna...

I’m back from vacation and I’ve got to stories to tell. The DearSnarky letter is about a woman who wants to leave her fortune to charity and a big old goose egg to her heirs. In the Peeve arena it’s me. I’m the peeve. I’ve got a really messy Observation and in the Snarky Confessional it’s all about waterparks.   For more Snarky goodness please go to my linktree and give my five fab and funny books...

Yippee it’s Snarky time! I’ve got a Dear Snarky letter from awoman who was pressured to get on a dating site by her daughter and now her daughter doesn’t like the outcome. In the Peeve department I go off on people blaming “participation trophies” for all of the world’s problems. Sigh. Next up I share my observations on Fall Fashions. Spoiler alert – I’m not impressed. Finally, in the Snarky Confe...

We’re starting off with two mini Dear Snarkies that ponder the questions of why am I thirty and sleeping in a bunk bed and who let the dog out? In the Peeve it’s a two-fer that focuses on “comment phonies” and the “good old day” bandwagon. The observation is a little random but a tad juicy and it’s about HGTV. The Snarky Confession is a wild ride in a 1990 GMC Conversion van. So, you know it’s goi...

Buckle up because this is a rollicking podcast. I’m starting out with three mini Dear Snarkies and we have so much to discuss. So much! Then I head straight to my Peeve and it’s about selling tickets to your wedding – like WTH? My Observations may give you whiplash. There’s five doozies.  And just OMG with the Snarky Confession - you may dislike me after you hear it but I’m going to take my chance...

I’m starting off the pod with three mini–Dear Snarkies. Onefeatures a deathbed confession. OMG. Then I zoom off to my Peeves. I’m sharing three phrases you should never, as in never ever, say. My Observation deals with a new micro trend in the bridal industry – no bridesmaids. Is it because no one wants to go broke being one? Finally, we’re all going to do a little bitof time traveling with the Sn...

Welcome back my love bugs! This podcast is packed with deep thoughts. The Dear Snarky letter asks the question when is okay to put your mom on “pause?” In the Peeve y’all I’m over “forced fun.” When do you age out of it? Like shouldn’t it happen sooner than later? The observation is what gets the better outcome: honey vs vinegar? I’m in favor of the combo platter.   In the Snarky Confessional brac...

OMG it’s almost an entire episode about my “issues.” Thankfully, there’s three mini-Dear Snarky letters that are not about me. We’ve got problems with friend break-ups, dumpsters and siblings in a wedding. Things start to go off the rails in the Peeve where my daughter shares a hard truth about me and in the Observation department I think I’m cursed with making things weird. The Snarky Confession...

Yippee it’s Snarky Time! This podcast is coming in piping hot with a Dear Snarky letter about a boyfriend wanting to “test” his girlfriend’s relationship suitability with, wait for it, a camping trip. Trust me, it gets worse. So much worse.  The Peeve is all about grandparents, the good, the bad, and the ugly. In the Observation department would you ditch your travel companion in coach if you got...

Brace yourself for a rant palooza!!! I start out with three mini Dear Snarky letters that are a cornucopia of stupidity. But that's just the warm up because the rant is coming in strong! I go off like never before on weddings. I'd like to think it's solid gold! In fact, the rant was so immense it eclipsed the Snarky confession. Imagine that!   For more Snarky goodness please go to my linktree and...

Oh, my goodness, I'm clutching my pearls because the Dear Snarky letter asks the question should a 61-year-old-woman settle for a man that’s not exactly gifted in the romance department? In the peeve department I'm tired of people telling me what to do? Just stop – okay? Next up, I have an observation about how luxury handbag dupes are better than ever. This brings me joy as a label hater....

It’s Snarky time and it’s going to be fun! The Dear Snarky letter is actually from someone who’s not crazy- imagine that. It’s from a grandmother who needs our help. In the Peeve Department y’all I hate a cool mom and I’m going to tell you why. My weekly observation focuses on couples trips and we have a Dear Snarky letter update where I admit I was wrong – so wrong. In the Snarky Confessional I t...
