A Family Exploring the Worlds of Fandom Together
We are delighted you found Nola Nerd Couple. This website started as a way for us to share our travel experiences. The blog used to be CookTravelEat. However, we quickly realized that we kept attending nerdy events and doing all kinds of nerdy things. We evolved into the Nola Nerd Couple. We started writing about Star Wars, Comic Cons, comic books, etc. Then in 2017 we found out we were having a little girl and now we are a trio (even though we aren’t changing the branding til she pulls her weight by posting on this website!)
We hope you enjoy our site and if you want to see us cover an event near us, let us know! You can reach us at mrnolanerd@nolanerdcouple.com

We are a Catholic family. We might not be the best Catholics (we need to go to church more often), but being raised Catholic has had an unshakable impact on us. As it has been a positive influence in our lives, we wanted the same for our darling daughter. I…
When people find out that you and your wife are expecting, they have tons of advice for you. Most of it sounds as if it comes from a Sith especially with the use of negative absolute words (“You will never sleep again,” “you won’t be able to travel again,” etc.)…
