A Family Exploring the World 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

Because we have been in graduate school for the last two and half years, we have not posted much. Books and papers took up most of our time. That does not mean we did not have fun. We have made many trips to Florida and Texas, spent a month in…
It’s too easy to break my resolve. I’m weak willed. Therefore, I have resolved to call my resolutions challenges. It sounds better. It allows for me to fail because challenges are sometimes hard. Plus, there is always next year. So what are my challenges for the New Year?
First of all, let us apologize for the long pause in our blog, but we do have a very good excuse. Weddings demand all your free time the couple of weeks before the big day especially if you are the wedding planners as we were. Also, timing a wedding with…
