Writing something every day has to be a great way to get yourself writing again.
Suggestions: tell us something about yourself, favourite colour, favourite season, favourite chocolate or cake. Nothing overly personal but a little insight.
Things about bringing up your children - again nothing specific, but things that were so difficult first time, but by the third become so much easier. Like putting tights on a baby.
Then there's the view from your window, what you see on your way to school.
Not to mention that I want to know what you are cooking for dinner (which if it's a surprise you could write about afterwards).
I suspect the habit of writing is the thing I've lost, it's not easy to write one handed while a baby sleeps on the other arm especially when it's my left hand that's free ;-)
Well done on a great resolution and sticking to it! It took me nine years after BK's birth to get back into writing much at all, apart from the last bit of my MA dissertation, which I had to force out, painfully, bit by bit. Certainly I didn't write anything to share.
A great way is to keep a journal ot diary. thoughts, things that have happened to you and the kids, reflections, any thing that sparks something when you have time to sit down and type/write. You might want to share it, you might not. If you don't post every day, we're not expecting anything :) It will be good to look back on and remember Mini's first year, and you never know, some things might be recylced in fics in the future :)

When I am stuck for inspiration I check out prompt lists like this one http://50alternates.livejournal.com/1496.html can get my brain moving again.
Glad to hear you are all doing okay! :-)
