CV - Full time mother ???

Hi,

Being made redundant in 2007 enabled me financially, to take the opportunity of being a 'full time, stay at home mom'.
Now my daughter has started school, I really want to return to work.

How should I word this on my CV ???
A creative mess is better than tidy idleness :D

    But think of the skills you used during your "career break". Did you extend your range of skills which could transfer to the workplace? Did you spend time learning or keeping up to date with your industry?

    And though you don't have to give a reason for leaving on your CV, don't be worried about saying it if an application form asks.
