Telling the truth. It won't hurt you. I have two years' gap in my professional careers too. I put a lot of effort to explain it in my essays. BTW, I chose to use fuctional format as my resume type, not chronological format because of the gap. One advantage to use fuctional format as resume type is that people won't see the gap on your resume. But I would suggest you that you still need to explain it in your essays.  My two cents suggestion.

I also got a big headache here for one-year employment gap, and have been trying to figure out how to explain it.  Could you please share more of your experiences with me? When explaing to this gap, what do I need to focus on?  So far, what I have in my mind is 1) what I did during this period? 2) what I got in this year?   Is there anything I still need to pay more attention to?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             in 2004, the main reason that I quitted the job  was for preparing for GMAT(I know now it's very unwise ><""), but my first AT score was poor, so I took the 2nd test after 1.5 month. After finishing AT test and essays,  the 3rd-round deadline of many schools was overdue or approaching, but I still summitted the applications to 6 schools , but only Wake Forest accetped me.   In 2005, when I arrived Wake Forest, my friend recommended me to join her company (very famous internationl FMCG company). After evaluaiton , I decided to go back to my country to join this company, because I thought this choice was better for future career development. What will schools think about this decision? Is there anything they will feel immature or too impusitive?  What I want to focus on is Operation Management (Supply Chain Management). My major in University is BA, I took some related classes,  Right now, I know much better abou what i want and the bottleneck I have, so decided to attend MBA porgram.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 My first job is related to Opearion Planning. Likewise, my second job and 3rd job(current) is also related operation.  Upon the enroIment, I stay in three different companies in 3 years (one company for one year), but the job function is very similar.     That I changed 3 companies in 3 years is because of friends' recommendation, and I think the new company offers not only better paycheck but also better development.   Do you think it will hurt my application due to this change?

如果作了housewife,估计2年之后很难重回到competitive industry such as IB, where the age weighted in a lot

Tell the admissions office Family is always your priority No.1

They will appreciate it for sure.

家庭主妇要管理一个家庭的日常生活，这也是一种管理经验，谈谈你如果应对家里出现的不同问题。（认真地）

家庭主妇的经历可以写的很独特，很出彩：比如，如何为丈夫做好辅助配合的工作，照顾家人的饮食起居，深入了解大家庭中每个人不同的需求，如何处理家庭矛盾，如何教育子女成长，如何参与社区公益事业。。。话题很多，引申开来还可以和职业目标联系：比如社区服务，教育，NGO，心理咨询。。。

努力发掘你这两年的经历，相信会有很多有趣的事情。不要把它当成劣势，当成职业空白需要去“减罪说明”，而是主动将这些经历拿出来，很自豪的讲述其中的故事，你一定会非常精彩！

frankly speaking, 大家现实一点说，真正写essay的时候，这两年gap还是麻烦，都知道housewife伟大崇高不好当，但是现在是申请mba,你的竞争者在这两年里可没闲着，这就是优势和劣势的问题

如果不打算做企业家，还是不要说自己家庭主妇是为了企业。和goal 冲突

我爱家庭主妇，估计我老婆若干年后也会是楼主的情况。
Be honest, be strong. Good luck!
