Star Wars Celebration 2025 announcements reignite a fan’s passion for the galaxy far, far away and have us planning for future celebrations. While life and family commitments temporarily limited my engagement with the franchise, exciting reveals about The Mandalorian’s theatrical release, Ryan Gosling joining Star Wars: Starfighter, and Andor Season 2’s premiere have drawn me back in.

Welcome to NolaNerdCouple.com!

Hey there! We're a family living just outside of New Orleans, sharing our adventures in fandom, family life, and everything in between.

What started as a food and travel blog (CookTravelEat.com) evolved into this nerdy wonderland when we couldn't stop sharing our passion for pop culture, gaming, and conventions. While we still love sharing our culinary quests and travel tales, we've embraced our true form as nerds with a love for sharing our adventures.

What's New in 2025?

We're switching things up! Instead of focused single-topic posts, we're moving to a weekly newsletter format where we can share all our adventures, thoughts, and experiences in one place. Since this blog is our passion project alongside our teaching careers, this format lets us better balance sharing our stories while keeping up with life. Don't worry - we'll still do occasional deep-dive posts when something extra special comes along!
