I was hired in one job because I convinced the interview team I was honest by admitting what I did not know followed by demonstrating initiative by stating how I would learn what I needed to handle the job. I was hired early in my career partly because I had taken some relevant courses before I applied. That demonstrated both initiative and desire to work in the IT field. Someone else I know turned a volunteer position into a paying job.
I would be very interested in interviewing someone who wrote that she was out of the workforce to raise children. And then who stated that she learned A B C and D which applies to the workplace as well. Time management, priority setting, conflict resolution, organizational skills and the like are things I know you've had to deal with without knowing what your life has been like. And oh boy are they needed in the workplace. If you add to that that you worked on "hard skills" by reading, classes and/or volunteer work that would be wonderful as well.
There's a gazillion internet sites for people in your position that I found by searching on finding work after being a stay at home mom.
