Hello and welcome!!

Jake and Angie Hogan are a young couple with a growing family, who raise horses, dogs and children in Central Wyoming. While Angie is a full-time mom of four, Jake spends long hours working on a nearby ranch but somehow finds time to raise and train a small herd of horses. In his spare time, when there is some, he braids artistic and functional rawhide and leather horse gear. Their horses and braid work can be found at wantmorelandandcattle.com. Angie is a talented cook and a hard working mother caring for their house and the children, as well as helping with all the chores around the barn!

They live just three miles outside of town, while quaint by tourist standards, is not exactly a mecca for shopping; and a trip to "the big city" is just a bigger small town. Keeping their children in clothing, toys and other items, especially as fashions and tastes change, is not easy. And with all those mouths to feed, the Hogans need to keep a pretty tight budget.

In this setting, they have learned to value their network of other young families who trade children’s items among themselves as each family’s needs change. But variety and availability are limited, and from this need was born the idea of extending the network onto the Web.

Jake and Angie have added Zazzie.com to their many activities, but feel this is a valuable service for other growing families who, like the themselves, live within a budget. Zazzie.com gives families a greater network to draw from without breaking the bank, and that pleases the Hogans and makes the effort worthwhile.
