I don't want to seem unqualified, because I know I'm not. But is there a specific way to let a potential employer know that you've been raising a family for the last 7yrs on your resume?

First and foremost, don't apologize for being a good mother. Most employers understand that women would like the opportunity to mother their children.
Let your previous experience speak for itself, and display a professional appearance and a desire to work hard to earn a spot in todays work force.

Lots of people stay home for awhile to raise kids. That doesn't make you unqualified, or make you look unqualified.
Don't put it on your resume. If you want to, you could mention in your cover letter something like that you are now ready to resume your career after a break for family reasons.
Good luck.
