The name is Ashley Bowman. I’m a runner, lifter, cook, wife, and secretary. I’ve been happily married for about 3 years to my best friend, my confidant, my partner-in-crime, and the love of my life, Adam. 
We are expecting our first child in October 2013, and we look forward to adding a new member to our family.
I’m excited that you have joined me here in the journey, as I enjoy some of my favorite things: food, fitness, family, and my faith. I write about all of those topics here and hope to share what I’m learning with you along the way.
Making My Boast is based off Psalm 34, which has been a very precious chapter in the Bible for Adam and I these last few years. Verses 1-3 read:
I will bless the LORD at all times;
his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
My soul makes its boast in the LORD;
let the humble hear and be glad.
Oh, magnify the LORD with me,
and let us exalt his name together!
Feel free to contact me about anything.
I also take writing/cooking/reviewing/blogging suggestions, so feel free to suggest away.

Thank you for your blog. I google “jovial product review” and am glad to have found your A+ review, and am grateful to see that you post several gluten-free products. I am a survivor of Lupus who is undergoing a major lifestyle change when it comes to food/nourishment. Fortunately I was raised on healthy home-cooking. Stil, with research I’m realizing there are more changes I could make (such as a gluten-free diet) which would take me to another level…and with prayer I understand that it is a path that God has blessed for me. Ever since I realized what sorts of changes I would have to make (I would say, it’s been about a year and a half of transitioning–mostly mentally/spiritually)… I’ve been both nervous and excited. I’m walking the journey confident though b/c the God I serve has been faithful in leading me along the way (such as finding this website). Thank you again. p.s. I have subscribed to your blog and look forward to visiting often. Atlanta, Ga
